GHOST RIDER: Gabriel Luna Will Reprise The Role Of Robbie Reyes For New Marvel/Hulu Series

Yesterday, Hulu announced plans for a Ghost Rider series as part of its expanding partnership with Marvel TV, and we now have confirmation that Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Gabriel Luna will reprise the role.

Following the success of The Runaways, Hulu has announced that it's expanding its partnership with Marvel Television by ordering two new series: Ghost Rider and Helstrom, both of which are set to debut in 2020.

Gabriel Luna played The Spirit of Vengeance on the fourth season of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and while the initial report seemed to suggest that he wouldn't be reprising the role, Marvel has now confirmed that he will once again be firing-up as the demonic antihero.


Even though Luna is playing the same character that was introduced in ABC's flagship Marvel series, we're hearing that this is not at AOS spin-off and this incarnation of Robbie Reyes will have no connection to previous one.

An odd choice, but then the Terminator: Dark Fate actor was very well received as Ghost Rider so it does make sense that they'd want to get him back on board for this new take on the character.

Ghost Rider, also known as Robbie Reyes, is consumed by hellfire and supernaturally bound to a demon. He lives on the Texas/Mexico border and when he unleashes the Rider, Robbie brings vengeance for the innocents he encounters, but struggles to control the power he wields

Ingrid Escajeda will serve as showrunner and executive producer on Marvel's Ghost Rider, with Paul Zbyszewski and Marvel TV head Jeph Loeb executive producing.

Not bad. I would've rather had Ketch or Blaze. But I guess this will do.

Not sure if I buy this entirely. I can accept little to no mention of his time with AOS, but its the same Robbie imo.

That sucks if true. He was great on AOS. It is what it is. I'm just glad they're finally making a Ghost Rider series.

I want Nic Cage to guest star.

But honestly, I also kind of want Nic Cage to guest star in every show.

So I was re-watching AoS the other. I was surprised to see how much I like the first season now. When it came out the first time it felt pretty boring and got way too much hate that crippled the show's reputation forever. But when you get to know the amount of shit-storm the character will go through after the events of Winter Soldier (till this day) you start to appreciate those slow, laid back funny episodes from the first season. Those little character moments.. those banters.. Man I would love to have some scenes in this season where the whole team get together and have fun. After all the pains and problems they went through constantly, they deserve that much.

@GaneshGaitonde - that's the problem with people having knee jerk reactions to things

Cool cool cool. But please have Johnny Blaze be a part of the show. He is THE Ghost Rider. Robbie is fine but he’s not the man.
