'Heated Rivalry's Connor Storrie Officially Eyes Major MCU Role

Chris is a Senior News Writer for Collider. He can be found in an IMAX screen, with his eyes watering and his ears bleeding for his own pleasure. He joined the news team in 2022 and accidentally fell upwards into a senior position despite his best efforts.
For reasons unknown, he enjoys analyzing box office receipts, giant sharks, and has become known as the go-to man for all things Bosch, Mission: Impossible and Christopher Nolan in Collider's news division. Recently, he found himself yeehawing along to the Dutton saga on the Yellowstone Ranch.
He is proficient in sarcasm, wit, Photoshop and working unfeasibly long hours. Amongst his passions sit the likes of the history of the Walt Disney Company, the construction of theme parks, steam trains and binge-watching Gilmore Girls with a coffee that is just hot enough to scald him.
His obsession with the Apple TV+ series Silo is the subject of mockery within the Senior News channel, where his feelings about Taylor Sheridan's work are enough to make his fellow writers roll their eyes.

It's been quite the year for Connor Storrie, who has gone from, well, the equivalent of rags to riches in about the space of five minutes thanks to the phenomenal success of Heated Rivalry, which propelled him into the center of a pop culture phenomenon, with an Emmy nomination, major brand deals, and a growing list of projects to show for it. But a massive superhero movie with a guy on a motorbike with a flaming skull probably wasn't on his to-do list. Until now.
Storrie is in talks to join Ryan Gosling in Marvel Studios' upcoming Ghost Rider movie, potentially playing the villain opposite Gosling's Johnny Blaze. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the actor is negotiating to appear in the superhero blockbuster, which will be directed by Shawn Levy and is currently scheduled to arrive in theaters on July 28, 2028. The identity of Storrie's potential character remains under wraps.
