Hulu has greenlit two new show which involve Marvel characters with an expected launch for 2020. Jeff Loeb the head of Marvel Television will executive produce both Ghost Rider and Helstrom.
Ghost Rider has had a few character names in the comics but the series will focus once again on Robbie Reyes. We previously saw a live action Ghost Rider (Robbie Reyes) in season 4 of Agents of SHIELD.
Gabriel Luna will once again don the mantle of Robbie Reyes. Sources stress that this will be a completely new iteration of the character in no way connected to the “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” storyline. Which makes things interesting to say the least.
In “Helstrom” (spelled Hellstrom in the comics), Daimon and Ana Helstrom are the son and daughter of a mysterious and powerful serial killer. The siblings have a complicated dynamic as they track down the terrorizing worst of humanity, each with their attitude and skills. Zbyszewski will serve as showrunner and executive producer.
This does raise questions such as, are we getting a Spirit of Vengeance team up later down the line or will these two shows stay unconnected?
These two shows now join Marvel’s Runaways over at Hulu for being the live action shows on that streaming service.
