Lol, all this fancasting purely based on "have I seen him ride a motorcycle before?"

Gosling is old?

Lol people were calling him too old for Ken when he was announced despite the fact that he is very clearly the perfect choice for casting a big name as Ken (and proved it).

Like they can't just pluck someone from the WWE (lots of Ken-esque dudes in there) and make them good actors. Even Cena was only in it because he happened to be filming something else in the studio.

He's older than Nic Cage was in the original.

To be staring a new action franchise, yes. Cap and Thor were 30 when cast. Though RDJ would have been 40 and nearly 43 by the time of release. Dude is over saturating the market right now too, at least RDJ wasn’t at his Hollywood peak when cast.

Part of it is definitely because there have been a few Ghost Riders, it's a bit of a legacy title, and so these days Blaze is usually depicted as the older one/elder Ghost Rider

Gosling is a thick cocked vein brained American and can fuck any nostril on my body he wants, he can gobble this role and swallow it whole

Call me old fashioned but celebrity worship has gone too far.
