Fans were wowed last week when we got our first glimpse of Gabriel Luna as the fiery
Ghost Rider on the season premiere of Marvel's
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. The episode saw Reyes and Quake engage in their first fight, with Ghost Rider coming out on top, sparing Daisy and walking away. Luna spoke a little bit more on the Rider's mindset in a recent interview.
“The Ghost Rider has one thing on his mind: Seek out and eliminate the sinner,” Luna said to
Entertainment Weekly.
“The Rider has his own designs. It’s like your shadow — you can’t shake it. Once you give into him, he takes over completely.”
According to Luna, the spirit's single-minded focus is why Ghost Rider refrained from killing Daisy last week, despite her begging him to do so.
"He saw a penitent woman. He looked into her eyes and saw a woman who is obviously trying to atone for something, but it’s definitely nothing that she did. The Rider has the ability to see through and into the bones of someone — into their heart and their soul. He sees a woman trying to be good.”
Tonight's episode will see Daisy seeking out Robbie again after briefly witnessing that he has a brother and might not be as cold-blooded as she first thought.
"They both have certain things in common, so I think they’re going to both be intrigued with one another pretty early on in terms of how they operate,” says Chloe Bennet.
“They’re both organically loners, and they’re both actually good people at the end of the day. Maybe they haven’t been dealt a great hand, and they’re just trying to get by and do what’s right again."
That being said, Luna cautions viewers not to think of the pair as any sort of team, instead saying their paths will converge naturally towards the same goal.
"While you can’t call us a team, we’re certainly aligned, but it’s mainly because we’re all seeking the same thing.” Perhaps that "thing" is the mysterious ghost box we saw in the season premiere?
