Marvel’s television division officially announced that Ghost Rider will be joining Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D in the shows fourth season at San Diego Comic-Con last month. Gabriel Luna (Matador, Wicked City, True Detective) will be starring as Robbie Reyes.
Rumours had been making the rounds for months over Ghost Rider potentially appearing on the show. However, fans shouldn’t expect more famous incarnations of Ghost Rider like Johnny Blaze or Danny Ketch to appear on the show. The showrunners of S.H.I.E.L.D have specifically chosen to focus on Reyes.
A description of the character in the comics is below:
“Created by Felipe Smith and Tradd Moore, Reyes debuted in the 2014 Marvel Now! All-New Ghost Rider series. The Mexican-American teen was gifted the power of Hellfire after he was tragically gunned down during a street race where he was attempting to win money to move him and his younger, disabled brother out of their seedy neighbourhood. However, Reyes was revived by a spirited named Eli who revived Reyes (complete with hellish powers!) in exchange for the teen’s help in avenging Eli’s death.”
With Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D looking for a darker tone in the fourth season Reyes will undoubtedly bring more grit and drama to the show.
Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D’s fourth season will begin airing on September 20th.
