Fact Check: Is Jensen Ackles starring as Ghost Rider in a 2025 reboot? Viral trailer debunked 

A YouTube video showing Jensen Ackles in a Ghost Rider 2025 reboot has started floating on social media, giving birth to the claims that the movie will be released next year. As the video continues to spread like wildfire, the poster of the movie with Jensen Ackles on it has also reached other social media websites, like Facebook.

The post shared by a Facebook user, The Diamonds, stated:

“Jensen Ackles has been confirmed as the lead in the upcoming Ghost Rider reboot. Known for his captivating performances in Supernatural and The Boys, Ackles is set to bring a fresh take to the iconic anti-hero, Johnny Blaze. The film, produced by Marvel Studios in collaboration with Sony Pictures, promises to delve deeper into the character’s dark origins while offering a modern twist on the classic story.”

Despite the rumours swirling across social media, the news about the movie's release is not true, as a reboot version of Ghost Rider is not being made. This is because nothing has been specified by Columbia Pictures, Marvel Entertainment or the makers of the original 2007 movie, and the poster of the movie is fan-made.

Hence, the news about Jensen Ackles starring in Ghost Rider in a 2025 reboot is fake and untrue.
