Fire up the motorcycle, because Ryan Gosling is officially revving his engine for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Disney has carved out a prime summer slot for the Oscar-nominated actor's comic book flick, officially securing July 28, 2028, as the premiere date for the new *Ghost Rider* movie. The newly scheduled release puts Gosling squarely at the center of Marvel Studios' theatrical strategy. Rumors had hovered around the star taking over the flame-headed vigilante role for ages, and now the studio has given the project a coveted late-July weekend to dominate the global box office.

Disney rolled out a series of major shifts to its upcoming theatrical lineup, putting three heavyweight superhero features onto the slate within a single calendar year. Before Gosling blazes onto the screen in late July, Marvel will kick off the blockbuster season with an as-yet untitled *X-Men* movie, which is scheduled to land in theaters on May 5, 2028. The spring launch gives mutant fans their long-awaited centerpiece project before Gosling takes over the summer crown.

Securing the mid-December window ensures Marvel holds down a prime end-of-year slot following its summer double-header. The three-movie punch comes as part of a comprehensive reshuffling of Disney's future theatrical schedule across multiple franchises. However, the official arrival of Gosling's supernatural stunt rider remains the standout revelation for fans tracking the future of the MCU. With dates locked in from May to December, 2028 is shaping up to be one of the busiest years in comic book movie history.
