10 Actors Who Could Play Ghost Rider In The MCU

4. Damian Lewis

Let's start this entry by stating that much like Arthur Darvill, Lewis' ginger hair could be symbol of his potential as Marvel's flame-headed hero.

Lewis is a sophisticated actor who can emit intense energy through his stoic yet unhinged performances. Who better to play the Spirit of Vengeance than someone who has already captured the character's defining traits multiple times?

Additionally, Damian as an older actor would be a welcome departure from the norm, since almost every new addition to the MCU is played by a younger star. His age would give the writers something entirely new to work with.

While Lewis is undoubtedly a decorated star, he doesn't have a particular role that he is synonymous with. Therefore he could benefit from a mainstream leading role to solidify his reputation.

Lewis would easily be able to fit into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but at the same time stand out enough to make his presence feel special. Thanks to all of this he would be a perfect choice for the role of Ghost Rider.
