10 Actors Who Could Play Ghost Rider In The MCU

2. Charlie Hunnam

An actor who made his name in a show about bikers seems like a perfect fit for the position right?

Even if you ignore the fact that his biggest hit centres around motorbikes, Hunnam would still be an excellent choice for the role. His movie career may not be a massive success thanks to the box office flop that was King Arthur: Legend of the Sword, but he has shown in outings like Pacific Rim and The Gentlemen that he can play significant roles in large-scale projects.

The Sons of Anarchy star is convincingly nuanced and can bring a brilliant sense of dual morality. His performance as Jackson Teller is a perfect example of how he can play characters who are morally conflicted, and nothing is more ethically divisive than being bound to the Devil.

His star-power is decent enough to feel like a valid choice, and his connection to the world of biking would make him feel right at home manning the Hell Cycle.
