ABC

The state of Marvel’s ABC TV series got a shot in the arm with news that The Inhumans would arrive in 2017, though not necessarily replacing a movie in the MCU’s expanding slate. Certainly, a fancy new IMAX TV series bodes ill for Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., but sources say one will not necessarily replace the other.

Well, this is certainly unexpected. Marvel’s Inhumans has bounced around theatrical release dates enough that many wondered if Marvel might make the film at all, and now the project appears to have undergone TV-genesis. Yes, Marvel’s The Inhumans is now an ABC TV series premiering in fall 2017, debuting its first two episodes in IMAX theaters!

Generally whenever superhero series bring in other established heroes for a season, it’s to test the water for a spinoff. We’ve seen it with Flash from Arrow, Punisher from Daredevil, and potentially now Ghost Rider from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. as well. Star Gabriel Luna is certainly up for the possibility, explaining there are “deals in place,” should the need arise.

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. definitely got Ghost Rider fans hot and bothered with news that the Spirit of Vengeance would blaze through Season 4, albeit as the more modern, four-wheeling Robbie Reyes version. Tonight’s “The Good Samaritan” revealed Reyes’ MCU origin, however, with a surprising cameo from one of the Rider’s previous hosts!

Marvel’s ‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ dips into Ghost Rider’s blazing origins with Season 4’s “The Good Samaritan,” but was the big twist with Uncle Eli too easy to see coming? And what happened to poor black-bagged Simmons? Find out in our full review of tonight’s latest ‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’!

The moment Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. confirmed its intent to introduce the Robbie Reyes iteration of Ghost Rider, fans wondered what might become of an MCU Johnny Blaze. S.H.I.E.L.D. producers have explained their choice to eschew the more classic character, thought last night’s “Lockup” included a surprising easter egg that may preclude Blaze’s appearance.

The Doctor Strange trailer debuted on Jimmy Kimmel Live! back in April, so it’s only fitting the late-night host would get more exclusive access to the latest Marvel hero. And by “exclusive,” we don’t exactly mean “hire the Sorcerer Supreme for children’s birthday parties,” but well, here we are.

Marvel’s ‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ keeps on Ghost Riding Season 4 with an Inhuman “Uprising,” but did last week’s debates kill the momentum? And why is Gabe the worst in every show he’s in? Find out in our full review of tonight’s latest ‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’!

The moment Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. started hinting Season 4 might introduce Ghost Rider, fans were quick to remember the comic connection between Robbie Reyes and Daisy Johnson’s father. Some even hoped Season 4 might return Kyle MacLachlan’s Cal as such, but producers now confirm Ghost Rider’s origin has been tweaked.

Marvel’s ‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ keeps on Ghost Riding Season 4 with a touch of both ‘Doctor Strange’ and ‘Captain America,’ but “Meet the New Boss” keep up the same fiery pace, or feel like bad ‘Supernatural? Find out in our full review of tonight’s latest ‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’!
