It is rumored that Marvel may be bringing in Ryan Gosling for a role in Fantastic Four. Amidst several other casting rumors for the highly-anticipated 2025 MCU movie, Jeff Sneider has claimed he is certain that Marvel is looking forward to having Gosling on board for the next Fantastic Four movie.

As of now, there is no confirmation regarding what role he will be playing, and Marvel is yet to confirm the news of Gosling joining officially.

Gosling previously stated his desire to appear in a Marvel Studios film while he was working with Avengers: Endgame directors Joe and Anthony Russo on their 2022 film The Gray Man. The actor had apparently asked the two directors to help him bag a role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.


Everything we know about the Fantastic Four reboot

The Fantastic Four reboot has not started production yet, but there have been ongoing speculations about who will star as the iconic heroes. Fans were expecting the cast announcement to be made in 2022.

Finally, some news has been revealed regarding the casting of Ryan Gosling in the upcoming Marvel movie. The news was made public by Jeff Sneider during the latest episode of The Hot Mic Podcast.

Given how secretive Marvel Studios is regarding its plots, details of Fantastic Four 2025 are being kept heavily under wraps. For now, we know that the film was originally going to be helmed by Spider-Man director Jon Watts, but he exited the project. Following that, WandaVision's Matt Shakman was officially brought into the loop in 2022 to bring the Fantastic Four to life. Jeff Kaplan and Ian Springer will reportedly be the writers for Fantastic Four.

Kevin Feige is executive producing the reboot, and he has stated that the reboot will have a new take on the heroes. However, it will not be an origin story.

This means that whether Reed, Sue Storm, Johnny Storm, and Ben Grimm have been operating as the Fantastic Four for several years or are early in their journey remains to be seen.

In another piece of news, John Krasinski is not expected to play Earth-616's Reed in the latest reboot of Marvel's Fantastic Four.
