He is vengeance. Or at least he said he was in 2022’s The Batman. And it appears as though the Marvel Parliament were impressed enough by Robert Pattinson‘s performance as the tortured and vengeful Caped Crusader that they had the character in mind to portray a different character driven by a deeply-rooted desire to extract retribution.
According to social media scooper @ApocHorseman, Marvel Studios met with Pattinson over the last year in hopes of convincing the actor to take on the role of Marvel’s Spirit of Vengeance: the Ghost Rider.
Blazeinson? Ketchinson? Maybe just Ghostinson? Whatever the case, it seems as though Pattinson turned down the role–maybe because he thought he might be busy filming The Batman-Part II. “Pattinson was eyed for [Ghost Rider] at one point,” said ApocHorseman during a Q&Abon X, before revealing that “it’s not gonna be him.”
Ghost Rider’s arrival in the MCU has been rumored to be imminent for several years now with ApocHorseman and Jeff “The In” Sneider leading the last year’s round of rumors that had the character appearing in Avengers: Doomsday. Stars such as Ryan Gosling and Keanu Reeves have been associated with role in the past and Marvel Television boss Brad Winderbaum has made it clear he’s interested in bringing the Danny Ketch iteration of the character to the MCU one day.
