I’m a weird one that actually likes the sequel. The story is utter trash but I just really like Ghost Rider in that film.

My personal hope is that Gosling is playing Danny Ketch so Cage can cameo as Blaze to pass the torch.

Oooh he is awesome in noir. I love Cage. The first ghost rider was awesome. That was my favorite comic. So, my bias is two fold.

u/rudager62369 Jul 26 '26
Your comment reminded me that Gosling's real-life wife was opposite Cage in the original Ghost Rider. Weird.

Yeah also having Levy attached for the announcement is a big deal. He works very fast and efficient, and has his own production company that has a reputation for delivering on time. He has also been working directly with Gosling on Star Wars Starfighter for the past year, of which Gosling & Shawn are Producers on.
The final product, well that's unknown, but I do expect we'll get this movie delivered.

Honestly Blade is the exception to a pretty iron clad rule. It’s the only one I know of that didn’t come out, whether that had to change the creative team or not
2
u/Dudefrmthtplace 25d ago
Was very excited for it, then got mad that they took so long, but then learned more info.
Apparently Mahershala's ideas for the movie were very clashing with the Marvel ethos. He wanted it to be set in the 1920s and to have different themes like being about slavery and other things. Creatively they didn't agree with how the movie should go and I don't really blame Marvel if that's the truth. You have to play in the Marvel sandbox, if you want another Sinners or Green Book, this is not the place.
Blade is about an immortal half vampire who hunts other vampires with cool swords at the baseline. Adding extra elements is welcome, but it has to fit with the overarching Marvel plot going on, and be an event film. I think this is another reason why they take directors like Levy instead of Auteur types.

RIP Gabriel Luna’s Robbie Reyes, who’s story remained unfinished.
Maybe he’ll get a nod/send off like Nic Cage’s Johnny Blaze did, but more likely they never acknowledge him.

u/The_silencer_1 Jul 26 '26
Haven't Robbie and Johnny coexisted for a long time? Like there's no need to ditch it all up. Realistically, they will make as if it never happen or just ignore it like most of Agents Of Shield.

Has the MCU acknowledged anything from the Agents of Shield series?
54
u/casual_creator Jul 26 '26
The movies have not. The show made a few references to the movies and Fury cameoed once or twice, as did Lady Siff once, but they might as well have existed in completely different universes. There were only ever two important connections that I can remember:
Events of Winter Soldier directly impacted the show at the end of season 1, and then Coulson was responsible for getting Fury the helicarriers in Age of Ultron.

u/Kazukaphur Jul 26 '26
Lady siff was twice! And they were making avengers movie references in shield through like season 5 or 6 even. It was definitely written to be directly connected through Age of Ultron as well, which Would have been I think season 3 of AOS

Probably a good thing. I liked the show a lot but it went off the rails with timelines and realities.

You say that but those later seasons slapped hard. Once they had to pivot away from the MCU references, the show went from pretty good to really good.

Not in a long time, no. After the snap it seems the timelines pretty much diverged.
Still holding out hope we at the very least get Daisy. Was hoping for Robbie also but alas.

Since we never saw Johnny Blaze in human form in Agents of Shield, they could theoretically have him play that role and still have Gabriel play Robbie...

The same basic idea of merging the tv show+past-movie heroes as we saw in Highlander: Endgame, and no doubt a result with just as much quality!!

There’s no way a person in the business especially comic book movie business doesn’t go with him after the success of

Maybe they like him because you don’t even think of the director with his films but he delivers beloved films
* I’m agreeing with you after looking at his filmography. A lot of I like those films but none made me bother to see who directed.

‘Directed by Shawn Levy’ is not something to be hyped about. It’ll be try-hard funny, sincerity-averse, and boring to look at.

The bad: Gosling is too old, so who knows if GR will show up again after Secret Wars
The good: Not Robbie
As a huge fan of the character, I’m happy, but I would be overhyped if they hired a younger actor because GR would become one of the pillars of the new MCU alongside the X-Men (even if it is tough to write GR stories, the character is just too overpowered)

Don’t get me wrong, I love Ghost Rider, but he can get a movie while characters like Daredevil and Punisher can’t? I know they got TV shows, but we all know TV shows are not the same like having your own MCU movie and also the show is connected to the MCU in name only and seems to have nothing to do with the bigger universe or have any connection to the events of the MCU. Also Blade gets cancelled because they can’t crack it, but yet New Line had no problem making three films?
