So, it’s official; Ghost Rider is coming to Agents of SHIELD and will be played by
Gabriel Luna. In retrospect this
was pretty much inevitable. Agents of SHIELD remains Marvel’s most
prominent failure, especially with how much the show has struggled to keep up
with a cinematic universe that’s consistently leaving it in the dust, so this
kind of shake up was badly needed to try and win back an audience and make the
show relevant once more.
Let me be clear on this, even if you like Agents of SHIELD the show is definitely
not what Marvel wanted it to be in terms of ratings or importance, especially
compared to the blossoming CW stable of shows or Marvel’s own vaunted Netflix
series. However, the Ghost Rider
they’ve conscripted isn’t quite the one everybody knows which means we’ve got
to dive into the history of the character to get the full view of what’s going
on here.
