Freaking finally! I really hope he'll be done justice. And I also hope they'll somehow at least match his looks in Spirit of Vengeance, cause his appearance there was goddamn badass as hell. Pun intended.

Looking at that teaser though, eeeehhhhh... But I'll have to see it on the screen to judge. Excited regardless!
 
I was always more of a fan of the spiked jacket Rider.

Also I would have liked it way better if the Norman Reedus casting rumor was true or if Ghost Rider just got his own series cause I have no interest in Agents of Shield.
 
I'm skeptical. On one hand, I like the fact that they went for a TV show instead of making a third Ghost Rider feature film. On the other, I don't think small screen budget will do Ghost Rider justice.

I'm interested to see if they'll stick with the comics origin story or if they'll toss him in the category of adaptational inhumans like Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch. I hope it's the former. With Dr. Strange movie just around the corner, it's time for Marvel to open the doors to it's weirder/darker side.
 
Well I lost interest in season 3 (same with Arrow and Legends) but this might get me to check back in.

I'm a fan of the character since the movies but he's an odd fit for the show (probably the special effects guy/gal is losing sleep over him). I get that they want to tie in mysticism/magic but i felt that there were better characters to bring in.

i always felt like ghost rider was a cool design and nothing more. but i'm interested. i watched a few episodes of agents of shield, but i wasn't a fan of it. i might start watching now though. this looks interesting, and if done right, could b pretty baller (and yes, i just said "baller")
 
While I'm glad Ghost Rider is finally in the MCU because he's one of my favorite Marvel characters, I wish it was for a Netflix series because Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is the only MCU thing I don't keep up with.

Plus, the darker Netflix endeavors would be more suited for the character.

That being said, the Ghost Rider in Agents is going to be Robbie Reyes, so a possible Netflix series with Johnny Blaze as the character could still be on the table. I at least hope it is.
