Rumors abound regarding Keanu Reeves and him taking on a role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The latest rumor comes from YouTuber Warstu, who claims that Reeves will play the Johnny Blaze version of Ghost Rider.
Warstu explains, “I’m hearing from very good sources that he’s actually in the line to be Johnny Blaze. And everyone knows who Johnny Blaze is. I’m pretty sure Nicholas Cage kind of played him in a round about wayish. So essentially 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.”
As Warstu points out, he’s not the first person to report on a rumor that Reeves will play Ghost Rider.
We Got This Covered previously reported that Reeves was in negotiations to take on the role of Johnny Blaze’s Ghost Rider.
We Got This Covered’s Scott Campbell wrote, “We recently learned that talks between Reeves and Marvel Studios had moved to the advanced stage of negotiations, with the 55 year-old reportedly keen on the idea that the Johnny Blaze version of Ghost Rider could be the role that finally convinces him to join the world’s biggest franchise.”
Those rumors inspired a number of fans to mock up Reeves as Ghost Rider including Yadvender Singh Rana.
