'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' season 4 air date and news: Agent Coulson chases down Ghost Rider in new promo
Fan reception of Gabriel Luna's Ghost Rider has been positive so far, and the next episode titled "Let Me Stand Next to Your Fire" will have Agent Coulson (Clark Gregg) chasing down Robbie Reyes (Gabriel Luna). A new promo has been released for the episode, and it features an impressive car chase between the S.H.I.E.L.D. agent and Reyes.
The clip comes from the fourth episode of the season, and it looks like Reyes' antics as the Ghost Rider have caused S.H.I.E.L.D. to hunt him down. The chase scene gets pretty intense, but it ends with Reyes being able to drive away on his Hell Charger. Surely Agent Coulson can pull something else up his sleeves — it isn't the first time he's handled superhumans after all.
As if fans couldn't get more excited for episode four, the synopsis for the fifth and sixth episodes in the season have also been leaked online. The fifth episode is titled "Lockup" and the description goes: "As Robbie Reyes struggles to control The Ghost Rider, S.H.I.E.L.D. infiltrates a high-security prison to unravel the secrets that haunt them all."
As for episode six, "The Good Samaritan," it delves more into Ghost Rider's roots and where Robbie Reyes got his powers. The synopsis reads: "The shocking origin story of Robbie's transition into Ghost Rider is revealed as the lives of Coulson and the team hang in the balance."
In the comics, Reyes actually died before his body was inhabited by the spirit of Eli, a demonic serial killer. The team production said they would be taking a few liberties when it comes to developing Ghost Rider for the show, and some fans guess that his origins may even be brought closer to that of original Ghost Rider, Johnny Blaze.
"Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." airs every Tuesday at 10 p.m. EDT on ABC.
