What BBN said about it

1. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorConnor Storrie is in talks to play the lead villain opposite Ryan Gosling in Marvel's Ghost Rider, and Marvel declined to comment on the report.

2. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorWith me is Marguerite Oyelaran, a lobbyist who represents both Marvel's silence and the trade press that reported on it. Marguerite, is that a conflict?

3. MO

   Marguerite OyelaranIt's a service, Hank.

4. MO

   Marguerite OyelaranOff the record, a studio that doesn't comment still needs the news to get out, and I make sure it gets out quietly.

5. MO

   Marguerite OyelaranPlease put that on the record.

6. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSo Marvel doesn't comment on casting, and three outlets had the casting anyway.

7. MO

   Marguerite OyelaranMarvel doesn't comment. Marvel simply declines, and a decline travels beautifully. Variety, The Hollywood Reporter and Deadline all reported it.

8. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorWho sent it?

9. MO

   Marguerite OyelaranOff the record, nobody sends anything. Reports simply arrive, like weather, and I'm retained by the weather.

10. MO

    Marguerite OyelaranAlso, Storrie reportedly didn't have to audition, which tells you how keen they are.

11. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorA studio that won't comment is very keen to tell us about a man who didn't audition.

12. MO

    Marguerite OyelaranMarvel is silent on the cast. It is extremely vocal on the date, which is July twenty-eighth, twenty twenty-eight.

13. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorRyan Gosling said it's a character he's wanted to play for a very long time. Nobody had to leak that.

14. MO

    Marguerite OyelaranHe said that on the record, which is the one place I can't bill him.

15. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorVerdict on the silence: loudest thing Marvel's done all week. Marguerite, off the record, who plays the villain?

16. MO

    Marguerite OyelaranOff the record, Connor Storrie, in talks.

17. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThat's the record, Marguerite. You're on it.
