New fan art of Reeves has revealed that his childhood dream Marvel role was Ghost Rider, and the actor looks perfect for the character in MCU fan art.

On Reddit, BloodFalcon616 shared a peek at what Keanu Reeves could look like as the MCU's Ghost Rider.

The concept sees Reeves with his John Wick look as Ghost Rider, wearing a black leather jacket that has its sleeves on fire. Reeves' Ghost Rider also has a fiery motorcycle that makes the full look exciting. At the moment, none of the announced projects on the MCU's slate have been confirmed to include Ghost Rider or Reeves, but that could change due to the direction the franchise is headed in.

What Keanu Reeves’ Casting As Ghost Rider Would Mean For The MCU

Reeves is one of the most well-known movie stars in the world. After some time away from the spotlight, the John Wick franchise put Reeves back on the map, with the action movies making the star become popular with a whole new generation of fans. While he is 60, the physically demanding John Wick film series shows that Reeves is more than capable of performing the stunts needed for a superhero project, and the actor's love for the character makes him a fine candidate for the MCU's Ghost Rider.

1 MCU Movie Can Make Keanu Reeves & Ryan Gosling's Dream Roles Possible At The Same Time

While Keanu Reeves and Ryan Gosling want to play the same Marvel hero, there is an MCU movie that would allow both to become their dream character.

The MCU has been developing its supernatural corner for a few years, with Werewolf by Night showing that Marvel wants to really delve into that part of the franchise. The in-development Blade movie is another entry that will build the MCU's supernatural stories, which could lead to Ghost Rider's debut. Marvel's Head of Streaming, Television and Animation, Brad Winderbaum, wants to see a Ghost Rider TV series (via Collider). Reeves' casting as Ghost Rider would instantly make the character one of the MCU's most popular, having the acting skills to bring a grizzled veteran version of Johnny Blaze to life.

Our Take On Keanu Reeves Possibly Playing The MCU’s Ghost Rider

Reeves' MCU Debut Should Happen As Soon As Possible

Reeves' experience with action franchises & superhero movies — he played DC's John Constantine and will return for a sequel — and his dream of playing Ghost Rider since he was a kid makes me confident that he would excel in the role. At 60, Reeves' casting could even allow for multiple versions of Ghost Rider to come to the MCU. I would love to see a veteran Johnny Blaze exist alongside one or more Ghost Riders, sharing his experience with Robbie Reyes or others. Keanu Reeves can do great work with dark characters and I want to see his Ghost Rider.
