Ghost Rider Joins the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Next Season

Looks like Marvel is finally pulling the hellish anti-hero known as Ghost Rider out from under the shadow of Fox and Nicolas Cage.  It’s been expected for some time now that they would do something with the character, but the results are pretty surprising.

It turns out Ghost Rider is leaving the world of cinematic heroes and heading to the small screen.  This Fall you’ll be seeing Ghost Rider on ABC’s Marvel series “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”  This time around Ghost Rider will be played by Gabriel Luna who is reportedly set to play Robbie Reyes, a relative newcomer to the Ghost Rider mythos.  As you might recall from the Ghost Rider films, the character is best known for riding a flaming motorcycle.  However, Robbie Reyes’ Ghost Rider prefers the comfort of a Dodge Charger set ablaze.

Stay tuned for more details as we anxiously await to see how they manage to get this effects heavy character on TV.

EDIT: Marvel posted a super brief teaser.  Check it out below.
