10 Actors Who Could Play Ghost Rider In The MCU

6. John David Washington

Charlie Hunnam Ghost Rider
HBO

As with a lot of other entries in this list, this actor has had a great time as of late in the movie industry and could benefit from one fantastic hit project to build his name around.

The star of BlacKKKlansmen and Tenet has made it very clear that he can be the central figure of a film, and thus could be an excellent choice for Ghost Rider.

He has proven in titles like Tenet & Monsters and Men that he can be thoroughly intimidating, yet still empathetic. This contrast would be a perfect fit for Ghost Rider as he could simultaneously deliver on the human and demonic sides of the character, leading to a dynamic performance.

Washington also hits all of the requirements for a Marvel leading figure. He is charming, funny and intimidating, but has a dark edge that can bring a tonne of nuance to the part.
