It Sounds Like GHOST RIDER Is Definitely Coming To AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D. This Fall
There's been a lot of speculation about Ghost Rider showing up in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s fourth season, and now a new report claims to shed some light on which version of the character we're going to see.
Marvel Studios quietly regained the rights to Ghost Rider shortly after the dismal critical and commercial performance of Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, and the character has been gathering dust on a shelf ever since. Chances are that not even Kevin Feige could convince moviegoers to give the demonic superhero another chance, so what can be done with him? A Netflix series sounds good.
Unfortunately, that isn't happening. According to Latino-Review, Ghost Rider is definitely coming to the fourth season of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., something which has been rumoured for some time now. However, as many fans already figured out after a casting call was sent out looking for "a pair of Latino brothers, one of whom is always the most dangerous person in the room, the other paralyzed in a wheelchair," we won't be getting the Johnny Blaze or Danny Ketch version of the Spirit of Vengeance.
Instead, it's going to be Robbie Reyes from the short lived series which saw the character using a muscle car instead of a motorbike. There's no word on whether the series will delve into his ties to the supernatural or if he'll just be an Inhuman, but hopefully his appearance here doesn't close the door on a return to live-action for the classic version. If this report is accurate, expect confirmation soon.
