Actor Ryan Gosling has expressed interest in playing a Marvel superhero, and many roles could suit him in the MCU. Gosling started as a child actor and worked his way up the Hollywood ranks with several indie hits, including Lars and the Real Girl and Blue Valentine, before becoming a household name with The Notebook. Since then, Gosling has shown his prowess in many diverse films, playing various characters, from humorously winsome to darkly violent. His turns in Drive, Blade Runner 2049, and The Nice Guys showed his penchant as an action hero lead, while movies like Crazy, Stupid Love, and La La Land showed off his more dramatic and charming persona. His latest role in the Avengers: Endgame director's Netflix actioner The Gray Man looks to capitalize on the full breadth of Gosling's skills, priming him for a superhero turn in the MCU.
