Sounds Like A Version Of GHOST RIDER Could Be Coming To Season 4 Of AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D. After All
We assumed the fiery chain on the recent Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. banner signified a bigger role for Hellfire, but a very interesting new theory suggests a lesser-known take on Ghost Rider might be introduced...
When a blazing chain was used for the first bit of promotional material for the fourth season of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., people began to speculate that it could mean Ghost Rider was going to be introduced. Of course, a far more likely explanation was that the chain belonged to James “J.T.” Taylor/Hellfire, and the Aussie Inhuman was being lined up for a larger role next season.
Then, earlier today we brought you the news that Marvel was looking to cast two Latino brothers; one "always the most dangerous person in the room", the other wheelchair-bound. Not being a GR fan, that didn't ring any bells - but ComicBook.com has pointed out how similar that sounds to Robbie and Gabe Reyes from the 2014 Marvel NOW! Ghost Rider series. In that run, Robbie is the one that gains the powers of the Spirit of Vengeance, but still maintains a close bond with his disabled little brother.
There's always a chance this is just coincidence, but it would be a pretty damn big one. Either way, we should find out more about it in the buildup to SDCC, so keep an eye out for updates.
