Concerned, he returned to the workshop where the car had been, Canelo's Auto and Body. Robbie awoke the next morning, believing the events had simply been a nightmare however, he soon found that one of his eyes was now orange. Robbie's first transformation into the Ghost Rider The Ghost Rider gave chase and managed to take out a handful of Robbie's attackers, though some of them got away. They attempted to burn the car and Robbie's body however, as they left, the ghost possessed Robbie, transforming him into a new Ghost Rider. He left his car and attempted to explain himself to his pursuers, only for them to violently open fire upon him, killing him. Worried about what would happen to Gabe without him, Robbie tried to escape, but inadvertently drove into a dead end. As he was taking the lead however, he was followed by whom he assumed to be the police. Unbeknownst to him, the car he used was inhabited by a ghost. The neighborhood he lived in, Hillrock Heights, was plagued with gangs and corruption, making life difficult for him and his brother, Gabe, who looked up to him as a hero.Įager to move to a safer neighborhood, Robbie entered a street race to earn fifty thousand dollars. One compelling option could have been the Midnight Sons, a group of Marvel’s supernatural superheroes featuring Ghost Rider, Helstrom, Morbius, Jennifer Kale, and Werewolf by Night (who is now rumored to be getting his own Disney+ Halloween special).Robbie Reyes was a young mechanic working in East Los Angeles, California. Ghost Rider and Daimon Helstrom (the latter of which eventually received one little-seen season of Helstrom on Hulu) would have been two of the four characters featured on this supernatural Defenders-style teamup but it’s unknown who the other two would have been. “I think would have led up to her being the big bad of what we were initially trying to start, which was this four-show, very Defenders-esque thing that was going to happen,” Luna said. What’s even more interesting, however, is that Ghost Rider would have been the entry point into another Defenders-style storytelling universe featuring four shows. A powerful shade who has been around since the dawn of humanity, her path frequently intersects the comics’ more spooky characters like Ghost Rider. Lilith is a mythical figure in the Marvel universe. The first season would have featured classic villains from the character’s canon, including Lilith, Marvel’s Mother of Demons. The Ghost Rider TV show would have aired on Hulu like fellow Marvel properties Runaways and Cloak and Dagger. According to Luna, right after Reyes premiered in Agents of SHIELD season 4, Marvel executed a “hold clause” on his contract, essentially paying him to stay put so they could pursue more Ghost Rider opportunities. The character was so well-received that it very nearly led to a spinoff. Reyes was played by Gabriel Luna in the first arc of Agents of SHIELD season 4 and again in that season’s finale. Blaze was played by Nicolas Cage in two pre-MCU era Ghost Rider films. The first is deceased motorcycle stuntman Johnny Blaze, who sold his soul to Mephisto to return to Earth to unleash Hellfire on his enemies. The character known as Ghost Rider has two comic book iterations. “I was doing everything in my power to make sure my mind and body were all prepared for a few-month-long engagement trying to get our show up.” “We were in full pre-production at that point now that Disney owned Fox and we had the Hulu relationship, that all would work out,” Reyes actor Gabriel Luna told the site. In a sprawling feature about the history of Marvel Comics character Ghost Rider, unveils some new details about the now-canceled Agents of SHIELD spinoff featuring Robbie Reyes a.k.a. Right before the Marvel Television imprint was shuttered in favor of Marvel Entertainment, however, we very nearly got one last creative swing. Marvel shows existed siloed off in their own continuities and on different networks like Agents of SHIELD on ABC, Runaways on Hulu, and Daredeviland all his Defender friends on Netflix. Before Disney incorporated Marvel’s TV offerings into the Marvel Cinematic Universe umbrella, Marvel storytelling on television was a fascinating mixed bag.
