The latest rumor comes from YouTuber Warstu, who claims that Reeves will play the Johnny Blaze version of Ghost Rider.

He later adds, “Now, Ghost Rider has been wanted in the MCU for such a long time and Keanu Reeves has been rumored to be Ghost Rider before alongside him being the main villain in The Eternals, and him being up for Jude Law’s role essentially in Captain Marvel, Yon Rogg. He’s been up for loads of roles.”
Warstu then specifically cites scooper Roger Wardell, “So he said back in July, Keanu Reeves is in final talks for Johnny Blaze for Doctor Strange 2, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.”
He then doubled down and stated, “We are hearing that the most realistic rumor is that Kevin Feige wants Johnny Blaze as Ghost Rider in the MCU.”
