A Marvel Comics fan-favourite hero could soon be debuting in the Marvel Cinematic Universe if this latest tease is anything to go by.
In an interview with Collider, Marvel’s TV boss Brad Winderbaum revealed that there’s one character in particular that he’s desperate to bring to the small screen - none other than Ghost Rider.
“I would wanna do the Danny Ketch era of Ghost Rider,” Winderbaum revealed.
“I think there are a lot of people who would be here for some Ghost Rider,” he added, and he makes a stellar point.

The character has had a few close scrapes with the MCU.
Back in August, concept art was released revealing that Nicolas Cage’s take on the character was originally supposed to cameo in Deadpool & Wolverine.
Cage’s Ghost Rider film launched all the way back in 2007 and was, of course, not a part of the MCU.
But Deadpool & Wolverine threw its cameo net wide. It wouldn’t have been a total shock to see Cage’s Johnny Blaze appear.
Agatha All Along has just premiered on Disney Plus. Take a look at the show’s trailer below.
If you’re a fan of the Robbie Reyes iteration of Ghost Rider, you may have enjoyed Gabriel Luna’s take on the character in Agents of Shield.
Once a part of the MCU, Agents of Shield is now treated as somewhat non-canon.
I say somewhat because technically the show is canon but in later seasons, it was retconned as taking place in an alternative timeline.
The aforementioned version of the hero mentioned by Winterbaum though, Danny Ketch, debuted in 1990 in Ghost Rider #1.
Ketch becomes Ghost Rider when he becomes inflicted by a supernatural curse, as opposed to selling his soul like Johnny Blaze.
Projects like Daredevil: Born Again prove that Marvel is willing to explore darker projects, so I’d love to see a gritty take on Ghost Rider make it into the MCU.
Let’s keep our fingers crossed.
