Marvel's Ghost Rider Revealed in New Agents of SHIELD Image

Ghost Rider is one of Marvel's coolest characters, but many fans would argue that the two critically-maligned movies starring Nicolas Cage didn't exactly do him justice. This might be about to change when the supernatural anti-hero makes his Marvel TV debut in Agents of SHIELD this month. The first image of actor Gabriel Luna as the character has been released--check it out below, via EW:

This version of Ghost Rider is Robbie Reyes, who has been his alter ego since 2014. Unlike Agents of SHIELD, the two earlier movies were not part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and focused on Johnny Blaze, the 'classic' Ghost Rider.

In addition to the image, the show's official Twitter feed released a short 'found footage' style video that reveals that Ghost Rider will be driving the cool black car associated with Reyes, as opposed to Blaze's motorcycle. Watch it here.

At San Diego Comic-Con in July, Marvel TV boss Jeph Loeb spoke about the decision to introduce Ghost Rider in Agents of SHIELD's fourth season. "The Marvel catalogue is filled with all kinds of really interesting, new, and often weird things," he said, via ComicBookMovie.com. "So we hit on Ghost Rider and in particular the character of Robbie Reyes, because our show really hinges on the idea of family and how that works in the world.

"Robbie and his relationship with [his brother] Gabe and his relationship with the Ghost Rider are all really interesting things for our SHIELD folks to encounter, possibly in negative ways."

Agents of SHIELD season 4 premieres on ABC on September 20, 2016.
