‘The Ring’ Figure That Never Was…
Black Friday is looming so I started creating my own wish list for the holidays.
Among looking over NECA’s upcoming Alien figures, I started fantasizing about horror-themed figures I’ve always wanted and remembered that NECA once teased a Samara figure based on the 2002 The Ring. In fact, they had big plans for Samara, only they could never secure the license from DreamWorks.
What was so cool about the concept – announced back in 2005 – was that there was to be a pair of bases, one of the infamous well, and the other of the even more famous television set!
NECA had also promised Samara would have “flexible hair” (that would have been a first).
It’s a bummer this never came into fruition, but at least we have pictures to dream of what could have been.
Ryan Gosling (Project Hail Mary) has made no secret of the fact that he’d love to play Ghost Rider in a Marvel Cinematic Universe movie, and it’s now officially happening.
Announced by Marvel out of San Diego Comic-Con tonight, Ryan Gosling will play the iconic Marvel character in a Ghost Rider movie being directed by Shawn Levy!
Expect Ryan Gosling to play Ghost Rider on the big screen in 2028.
Johnny Blaze is of course the most iconic and well-known Ghost Rider, selling his soul to Satan and becoming a supernatural badass. Nicolas Cage brought Blaze to life on screen in both 2007’s Ghost Rider and 2011’s Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, while Gabriel Luna more recently played the Robbie Reyes version of Ghost Rider in the series “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”
Luna was set to star in his own Ghost Rider spinoff series in the wake of that small screen appearance, but that Hulu project ended up being squashed before it ever had a chance.
Fans have been waiting for Ghost Rider to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe for many years now, with Ryan Gosling making it clear that he’d love to bring the character back to life.
That Hollywood dream is coming true. Stay tuned for more as we learn it.
