During this year's San Diego Comic-Con International, it was confirmed that the Robbie Reyes version of Ghost Rider is coming to the fourth season of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., with Matador star Gabriel Luna playing the part. Now, thanks to Entertainment Weekly, we finally have our first look at Luna as the supernatural anti-hero. The 33-year-old actor is wearing the signature Robbie Reyes jacket in the photo.
The outlet has also managed to talk with Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. executive producer Jed Whedon, who claims that they are going to put their "own spin on the character".
However, he also insists that they are staying true to the comics in the places where they "feel like it's really important". Jed reveals that they love the "family dynamic" of Ghost Rider Robbie Reyes and "the East L.A. kid in him".
With Ghost Rider's arrival int Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 4, and with the upcoming Doctor Strange movie, the Marvel Cinematic Universe is branching out into the strange and unexplained. Here's what the EP has to say about it:
It started out with a guy building a suit using science, and then we met aliens that are the origin of the myths behind some of our gods, and this year Doctor Strange comes out. We're opening it up even further to the world of things we don't totally understand, or as Thor says, “Magic is science that we don't understand.” Well, we're getting into some very, very fancy science.
