AceShowbiz - It looks like "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." is going to feature Ghost Rider after all. Following an image of a flaming chain on a San Diego light rail, the show is now reportedly looking for actors to play Latino brothers, one of which is "always the most dangerous person in the room" and the other is "paralyzed in a wheelchair."
Following the casting news that was first reported by TVLine, ComicBook.com notices the similarity between these two characters and Robbie and Gabe Reyes from the 2014 "Marvel NOW! Ghost Rider" series. In that run, Robbie gains the power of the Spirit of Vengeance after an unfortunate run-in with Dr. Zabo's hit squad costs him his life. The spirit of Eli Morrow gives him new life and his new powers.
Previously, it was suggested that the flaming chain that appeared in the promotional material for the show's fourth season could belong to J.T. James a.k.a. Hellfire, who was portrayed by Axle Whitehead in season 3. In the comic books, James is the grandson of the first incarnation of Ghost Rider, Carter Slade, from whom he inherited the Hellfire Chain.
In addition to the two Latino brothers, the upcoming season of the ABC series will introduce Aida, "a 'very attractive' robot who moves about quite naturally but speaks a bit formally, like Iron Man's Jarvis." The role is said to be a recurring one.
