A version of Ghost Rider may appear on Agents of SHIELD: Rumors were flying around a few weeks ago when a bus painted up for SDCC with Agents of SHIELD promo art seemed to have Ghost Rider’s flaming chains on it but it was dismissed as probably being more likely tied to the character Hellfire, who was introduced on last season as an evil Inhuman. Now though, it seems like a version of Ghost Rider may appear on the show after all. There was a casting notice that the show was looking to cast Latino brothers, one who is “the most dangerous person in the room” and the other “paralyzed in a wheelchair”, which seems to be describing the Reyes brothers from All-New Ghost Rider, introduced during the Marvel Now relaunches in 2014. Robbie Reyes became Ghost Rider when he drives a cursed Dodge Charger, which becomes his Hell-Charger and he has all the abilities of past Ghost Riders.
