Ryan Gosling Wanted For ‘Sinister Six’, But He Wants To Be A ‘Ghostbuster’
Ryan Goslinghas kept a pretty low profile lately, but that could change soon as he is being considered for two major projects. Sony reportedly wants him forSinister Six, while Gosling himself is interested inPaul Feig’sGhostbustersreboot.
If he signs on for the latter he may joinEmma StoneandJennifer Lawrence, who are also among Feig’s wishlist for the cast. More details on the possible Ryan GoslingSinister SixandGhostbusterscasting after the jump.
Gosling’s career prospects have come up in leaked emails from the Sony hack.Amy Pascal, co-chairman of Sony Pictures Entertainment, askedMichael De Luca, co-president of production for Columbia Pictures, what projects Gosling wanted to do with them. De Luca responded, “It’s Ghostbusters according toIlene[Feldman, Gosling’s manager].”
In a later email toHannah Minghella, Columbia’s other co-president of production, Pascal wrote of theGhostbustersreboot, “There is one make [male] part paul is planning. How insane would that be… He also wantsjennifer[Lawrence] andEmma[Stone].” Pascal also sent an email to Feldman asking to talk to Gosling aboutSinister SixandJobs, adding, “you tell me what ehe [sic] is interested in.”
Since the messages date back to October, it’s unclear whether Gosling is still in consideration for those roles. We already know, for example, that he didn’t wind up getting the Jobs gig. But as far as we know,Sinister SixandGhostbustersare still casting.
Gosling would certainly be a big get forSinister Six, but so far he hasn’t shown much interest in superhero movies. He waspreviously eyedfor Warner Bros.' / DC’sSuicide Squadand Marvel Studios’Doctor Strange, but neither of those panned out. Who knows, though — he likes to mix things up, so maybe a big-budget blockbuster will be just the new experience he’s looking for.
As forGhostbusters, it’s anyone’s guess at this point who’ll star. It’s interesting to know there’s one major male role, since so far we’ve only heard it described as an “all-female” reboot. So far, Lawrence andRebel Wilsonhave bothconfirmedthey’ve spoken with Feig.
