‘Agents of SHIELD’ season 4: Expect Ghost Rider to expand Marvel Universe
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 4 wasted no time diving into the supernatural, adding Ghost Rider to the mix.
This new incarnation is played by Gabriel Luna. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Jeph Loeb explained that Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is about family.
“I know that it looks like a show about a bunch of spies that are running around on a big, giant plane that are saving the world every week, but it really is about a group of people who come together because they have no one else in their lives. When you watch the show from that point of view, you really understand that Coulson (Clark Gregg) is a father figure, and these people around him are people he needs to look after and make sure they’re OK.”
While fans are familiar with Nic Cage’s Johnny Blaze, this new version leaves the door open for creative freedom.
Executive Producer Maurissa Tancharoen explained:
“People are familiar with Johnny Blaze. Robbie Reyes is a new iteration of the character. There’s not a lot of material on the character so it gives us a lot of room to have our take on it.”
