Ryan Gosling Tipped to Join Black Panther 3: Marvel Casting Rumor Explodes Online

Hot Trendy News
Marvel fans are in a frenzy after Marvel Comics’ surprise unveiling of Ketema, a new “White Wolf-style” protector of Wakanda whose character design strongly resembles actor Ryan Gosling. The reveal arrives in the pages of “Black Panther: Blood Hunt #1,” and social media instantly lit up with posts dubbing the newcomer the “White Black Panther,” reposting a years-old meme that photoshopped Gosling into T’Challa’s vibranium suit. What’s fueling the speculation? • Visual similarity – Ketema’s sandy hair, stoic stare and trimmed beard echo Gosling’s look from films like “Blade Runner 2049,” convincing many that Marvel’s artists were inspired by the Oscar-nominated star. SuperHeroHype notes that even industry insiders were “taken aback by how much the splash panels evoke Gosling’s likeness”. • Multiverse precedent – The Marvel Cinematic Universe has already introduced alternate-reality variants of major heroes. Fans argue a live-action, universe-hopping Black Panther played by Gosling is no longer impossible, especially after “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” featured surprise cameo variants. • Disney ties – Gosling is already working with Disney on the upcoming “The Fall Guy” theme-park attraction, making a future Marvel collaboration contractually simpler, according to industry bloggers. Marvel’s silence Marvel Studios and Marvel Comics have not commented on any Gosling connection. Sources close to the publishing arm describe Ketema as “a narrative contrast to T’Challa’s legacy,” framing him as a conflicted outsider forced to defend Wakanda during the Blood Hunt vampire crisis. Nonetheless, the company’s refusal to confirm or deny fan theories has only amplified online chatter. Social media reaction Within 24 hours of the comic’s release, the hashtag #RyanGoslingBlackPanther trended worldwide on X (formerly Twitter), peaking at 87,000 mentions per hour. Meme pages resurfaced the original 2018 Gosling-in-Vibranium edit, while newer posts splice audio from “I’m Just Ken” over Black Panther fight scenes. Some longtime readers have criticized the optics of centering a white hero in Wakanda, but others view Ketema as a multiverse one-off rather than a replacement for Shuri or T’Challa. Casting reality check Talent-tracking site Production Weekly currently lists no MCU project with Gosling attached. Agents familiar with the actor tell Yahoo Entertainment that Gosling “has taken general superhero meetings but has no deal for Black Panther or any other Marvel role”. Still, Hollywood strategists point to Marvel’s pattern of planting comic concepts years before they surface on screen—Miles Morales, Kate Bishop and America Chavez all debuted in print long before their live-action bows. What happens next? Issue #2 of “Black Panther: Blood Hunt” arrives next month, promising deeper backstory for Ketema. If sales spike—early distributor data shows a 64 % reorder increase—Marvel could fast-track the character into its Disney+ animated pipeline or forthcoming Wakanda series. Whether Ryan Gosling ever dons the suit, the viral storm has already accomplished Marvel’s goal: putting Black Panther back at the center of pop-culture conversation.
