SHE-HULK: ATTORNEY AT LAW Writer Jessica Gao Addresses Recent "GHOST RIDER" Easter Egg

Fans thought they spotted a Ghost Rider Easter Egg in a recent She-Hulk: Attorney at Law featurette, but writer/producer Jessica Gao has now cleared things up: that wasn't actually Johnny Blaze at all!

So yeah, that wasn't actually Ghost Rider at all!

Last month, a behind-the-scenes featurette for She-Hulk: Attorney At Law appeared to include a very interesting Ghost Rider Easter Egg when a blurry poster seemingly depicting the original Spirit of Vengeance, Johnny Blaze, was spotted in the background.

This led to inevitable speculation that Blaze might appear, and while most of us didn't jump to that conclusion based on this one shot, there was no denying that it did seem like a very deliberate reference to the character.

Now, She-Hulk writer/showrunner Jessica Gao has cleared up the confusion.

"He's not Ghost Rider — his name is Donny Blaze," she told Deadline at last night's red carpet event. "He is a magician named Donny Blaze. This is just a magician who picked a stage name that he thought was going to get a lot of attention. He's a big character in his episode but he is not Ghost Rider."

Mr. Blaze appears in the fourth episode, and while we won't give any major details away, let's just say he makes quite an impression!

The social media embargo for She-Hulk lifted late last night, and you can check out the first reactions to Marvel Studios' latest Disney+ series here.

She-Hulk: Attorney at Law follows Jennifer Walters as she navigates the complicated life of a single, 30-something attorney who also happens to be a green 6-foot-7-inch superpowered hulk. The nine-episode series welcomes a host of MCU vets, including Mark Ruffalo as Smart Hulk, Tim Roth as Emil Blonsky/the Abomination, and Benedict Wong as Wong. The cast also includes Ginger Gonzaga, Josh Segarra, Jameela Jamil, Jon Bass and Renée Elise Goldsberry. Executive producers are Kevin Feige, Louis D’Esposito, Victoria Alonso, Brad Winderbaum, Kat Coiro and Jessica Gao. Co-executive producers are Wendy Jacobson and Jennifer Booth.

She-Hulk: Attorney at Law is set to premiere on Disney+ on August 17.

Well they certainly didn't pick this name out of pure coincidence...

...Donny Blaze?

Yea, Idk what to say about that. My guess is Johnny exists, and this stage name is a reference to him, somehow. Too close, otherwise.

Is Donny Blaze the new Ralph Bohner?

Well I did think it said Danny Blaze, so I guess close enough for government work.

I thought they went ahead and combined the two characters or just dove right into Johnny's and Danny's familial link, but I guess they're just playing around with names they probably shouldn't... Unless he's just trying to throw us out the scent
