According to trusted insider DanielRPK, Marvel’s Avengers: Doomsday might feature a jaw-dropping surprise — a cameo appearance from Ghost Rider. If true, this could be one of the most exciting crossovers in Marvel’s Phase 6.
Ghost Rider, one of Marvel’s darkest and most visually striking antiheroes, has long been requested by fans to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). While the character has previously appeared in standalone films (starring Nicolas Cage) and on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., a cameo in Avengers: Doomsday would mark his official big-screen entry into the MCU canon.

But why is this cameo so important, and how does it fit into Marvel’s plans? Let’s break it down.
Why Ghost Rider in Avengers: Doomsday Is a Big Deal
- A Fan-Favorite Antihero
Ghost Rider is not your typical Marvel hero. With his fiery skull, supernatural motorcycle, and powers of vengeance, he represents the darker side of Marvel storytelling. His inclusion would bring horror, mysticism, and supernatural elements into a movie already expected to be massive in scope. - Perfect Timing for Multiverse Saga
Marvel’s Phase 5 and 6 are diving deep into the multiverse, dark dimensions, and cosmic threats. Ghost Rider, as the Spirit of Vengeance, fits perfectly into these themes. With Avengers: Doomsday rumored to feature multiverse-level destruction, his supernatural presence would add a unique layer to the fight against Kang or other villains. - Setting Up Midnight Sons?
Many fans believe Marvel is slowly building toward a Midnight Sons team-up (a supernatural Avengers-like group featuring Doctor Strange, Blade, Moon Knight, and Ghost Rider). If Ghost Rider appears in Avengers: Doomsday, it could serve as the first tease for this darker Marvel team-up movie.
Ghost Rider in Previous Marvel Adaptations
Before we get too excited, let’s not forget Ghost Rider’s history on screen:
- 2007 & 2011 Films – Nicolas Cage starred in Ghost Rider and Spirit of Vengeance. While visually striking, both movies received mixed reviews but gained cult status.
- Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (2016) – Gabriel Luna’s version of Robbie Reyes’ Ghost Rider was introduced, becoming a fan favorite. However, his storyline never fully connected with the larger MCU.
Now, with Marvel Studios holding the reins, fans hope for a definitive Ghost Rider adaptation.
The Possibility of Other Cameos
DanielRPK also hinted that Avengers: Doomsday will feature multiple surprise cameos. This wouldn’t be unusual for an Avengers movie — both Infinity War and Endgame had massive ensemble casts.
Potential cameo characters could include:
- Blade – already confirmed in the MCU.
- Moon Knight – last seen on Disney+.
- Deadpool & Wolverine – set to appear in Deadpool 3.
- Defenders (Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist) – rumors suggest some Netflix characters may return.
Ghost Rider’s cameo could be the most shocking and buzzworthy of all, simply because fans have been waiting for his official MCU debut for years.
What Role Could Ghost Rider Play in Avengers: Doomsday?

While it’s unlikely that Ghost Rider will play a major role, his cameo could:
- Introduce him as a mysterious ally who helps the Avengers briefly.
- Tease his supernatural powers in a battle against multiversal demons or dark forces.
- End with a post-credit scene setting up either his solo film or a Midnight Sons project.
Marvel has often used cameos to set up future storylines — think of Black Panther’s introduction in Captain America: Civil War or Spider-Man’s MCU debut. Ghost Rider’s cameo could follow the same pattern.
Fan Expectations & Reactions
Marvel fans have long debated who should play the MCU’s Ghost Rider. Popular casting choices include:
- Keanu Reeves – a fan favorite for his dark, brooding style.
- Norman Reedus (The Walking Dead) – rumored to be in talks.
- Gabriel Luna – reprising his Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. role.
Social media has already erupted with excitement at the thought of Ghost Rider joining Avengers: Doomsday. If Marvel confirms it, expect it to dominate conversations leading up to the film’s release.
A Fiery Future for the MCU
If insider DanielRPK’s report is true, Avengers: Doomsday won’t just be another Avengers film — it’ll be the movie that opens the MCU to supernatural heroes. Ghost Rider’s cameo could be the spark that fans have been waiting for, potentially leading to darker, more mature Marvel projects.
Whether Marvel goes with Robbie Reyes, Johnny Blaze, or Danny Ketch, the inclusion of Ghost Rider marks a new era for the MCU, balancing cosmic threats with supernatural vengeance.
Avengers: Doomsday could very well be the beginning of Ghost Rider’s fiery journey into Marvel’s future.
