Linus Sandgren shot Ryan Gosling dancing under the streetlights in La La Land. Now he’ll be putting him on a motorcycle as Johnny Blaze in Marvel’s Ghost Rider. Asked how he wants to shoot the Spirit of Vengeance, Sandgren described his approach as “grounded and emotional.”
Speaking with Variety at the Hamilton Behind the Camera Awards, Sandgren said he’s still early in prep. For the cinematographer behind No Time to Die and Dune: Part Three, this will be his first comic book movie. He hopes to bring “some sensitivity to the emotions of this story,” he told the outlet. “It could be very dramatic and fun.”
Marvel introduced Gosling as its new Ghost Rider at San Diego Comic-Con, with Shawn Levy (Deadpool & Wolverine) directing. Gosling plays Johnny Blaze, the stunt motorcyclist whose deal with the devil turns him into the Spirit of Vengeance. Nicolas Cage previously played Blaze in Ghost Rider and Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance.
As we reported in October, Connor Storrie (Heated Rivalry) was in talks to play the villain opposite Gosling.
Production is expected to begin in New York in 2027, and Marvel has set July 28, 2028, for the theatrical release.
