Gabriel Luna Confirms Ghost Rider Series Cancellation

Gabriel Luna confirms Ghost Rider series cancellation

Earlier this week it was reported that Hulu would not be moving forward with a Ghost Rider TV series due to creative differences, and now the titular demon himself has come out to confirm the rumors via an Instagram post you can view below (via JoBlo).

“To everyone who loves Robbie and Ghost Rider, THANK YOU,” Luna said in the post. “I’ve had the time of my life playing those two guys and I was ready to rock on the new show. The news was surprising, but I’ve always known that the nature of this business is that until you’re there, on the day, doing the thing it could still go away.”

Not that Luna is complaining. The man is set to star as a killer cyborg in the upcoming James Cameron-produced Terminator: Dark Fate, which is one hell of a consolation prize.

Ingrid Escajeda was set to serve as showrunner for the series and executive produce with Paul Zbyszewski and Jeph Loeb. Gabriel Luna, who played the character on Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD, was set to return as the Robbie Reyes iteration of the character, albeit in a reboot of the character unrelated to his work on SHIELD. Perhaps this confusing move was one of the reasons the series stalled, but the real reason remains to be seen. The Hellstrom series is still seemingly in development.

Hulu and Marvel still remain in cahoots however as Marvel’s Runaways will premiere its third season in December of this year. They’re also developing four different animated series including M.O.D.O.K., Hit-Monkey, Tigra & Dazzler Show and Howard the Duck, as well as the special The Offenders, which will bring all of these heroes together for a team-up mission in the same vein as The Avengers and Netflix’s The Defenders.

The Ghost Rider character first appeared in the pages of Marvel Comics back in 1972, and has remained one of their most popular anti-heroes. A former motorcycle stuntman, he sells his soul to who he believes to be the Devil (later revealed to be the demon Mephisto), he’s consumed with avenging the blood of the innocent. The Johnny Blaze iteration of the character was portrayed by Nicolas Cage in the non-MCU films Ghost Rider and Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance.
