We must admit to another reason we’re so quick to let the air out of this rumor: we, like pretty much all Marvel fans, are still holding out hope that Robbie Reyes will eventually show up in the MCU feature films. Luna’s portrayal was just too damn amazing; in only half of a season, he created a compelling, fleshed-out character bubbling over with internal conflict. One who also drove a rad car and was prone to bursting into flames as his head turned into a skull, but still.
We nearly burst into flames ourselves — joyous flames — when it was announced that Luna would be headlining his very own Ghost Rider series for Hulu. Before we could even douse those flames of joy, though, the series was shelved; this was likely due to the fact that Marvel Television is quickly dying on the vine as the film branch, Marvel Studios, takes over production of virtually all future TV efforts.
Regardless of the reason, though, it wasn’t too cool for Luna’s series to be tantalizingly dangled in front of us before being yanked away. It’s been rumored that Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige is a fan of Luna and would like to incorporate Robbie Reyes into the MCU eventually, but if there are any firm plans to do so, they haven’t yet been made public.
