Ghost Rider or Hellfire Might Be Coming to “Agents of SHIELD”
Update: Apparently Hellfire has already been in a few episodes. My bad!
ABC’s “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” might be getting a rather Hellish addition to its cast, if the above photo has anything to say about it.
Speculations are rising that the show may see the reveal of either Ghost Rider, who has been assigned to many characters but made his first appearance as Johnny Blaze, or Hellfire, aka James Taylor “J.T.” James. They are being seen as a possibility because of the appearance of flaming chains, which both characters are known to use, on the train’s marketing.
At this point, it seems that we won’t know until season 4 debuts, which will probably be sometime this Fall.
IDW Dark and Paramount recently joined forces to launch limited comic book tales set in the worlds of Smile and A Quiet Place, and we’ve learned today that they’ll continue hanging around in those franchise universes with two brand new limited series tales.
Entertainment Weekly has exclusively revealed this afternoon that IDW Dark’s Any Given Smile debuts in September, while A Quiet Place: Rising Tides arrives in November.
First up, from writer Stephanie Williams and artist Pablo Collar, Any Given Smile puts a football-themed twist on Parker Finn’s successful Smile movie franchise.
The five-part limited series is “set in January 1995, during the American Arena League football championship game in St. Augustine, Florida. The rising superstar of the Sharks, backup quarterback Dupree, is feeling the pressure from his teammates, the fans, and also the city’s gambling underworld, to whom he owes a considerable debt. Meanwhile, a sports journalist investigates a string of suicides that may be connected to the big game. At the very least, they are connected to a sinister entity that preys on the minds of its victims.”
From writer Declan Shalvey and artist Luke Sparrow, A Quiet Place: Rising Tides will also be a five-issue limited story. The comic book tale “brings the creatures to the Florida Keys, where a father-daughter duo attempt to survive on water in a houseboat.”
EW further details, “This tense family reunion coincides with the arrival of the vicious creatures that hunt through sound. Grace and her dad find safety on the open ocean, but she’ll have to make landfall sooner or later; the father’s oxygen tank and their supplies are running low, while a hurricane swiftly approaches.”
