The terrifying origin story of Ghost Rider is revealed in the upcoming episode of ABC's hit action drama "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." season 4.
Titled "The Good Samaritan," tonight's episode will delve deeper into one character's backstory. According to the official synopsis for episode 6, Robbie's (Gabriel Luna) shocking story on how he turned into Ghost Rider is finally revealed. Meanwhile, Coulson (Clark Gregg) and the rest of his team must fight for survival as their lives hang in the balance.
It was previously revealed that Robbie and his brother Gabe (Lorenzo James Henrie) was caught in a shooting. Now that Robbie already knows that the shooting that claimed his life was a paid hit, viewers are left to wonder how far Robbie will go to search for answers. Luna recently caught up with Entertainment Weekly, and he shared some details on what fans should expect in the next episode.
"The fact that it wasn't just random, it was a hit, somebody ordered that, these guys were just the guys who carried it out — there's a whole batch of new questions that Robbie has after that," he said. "In episode 6, we're going to find out exactly how it happened, and we may find out why later."
The actor added that episode six will incorporate some elements from Felipe Smith's original origin story and a new angle the show is working on. He also clarified that although a new angle is being used, it will still be drawn from the source material. "The way that we fuse these two elements of the existing story together and to this moment, this origin story moment, is pretty phenomenal," Luna continued. "We went all out trying to do it justice in terms of the stunts, the effects, the CGI. Everything that was put into this episode is just phenomenal."
