It looks like Judgement Day will have to wait. Deadline reports that the planned Ghost Rider series will not be moving forward on Hulu. Gabriel Luna was set to reprise his role as Robbie Reyes/Ghost Rider for the solo series with showrunner Stephen Lightfoot.
The dreaded “creative differences” strikes again, leading to the decision not to move forward. Interestingly enough, the Marvel’s Helstrom series, that was also ordered around the same time, is still on track for a 2020 premiere. The four animated series Marvel’s M.O.D.O.K, Marvel’s Hit-Monkey, Marvel’s Tigra & Dazzler Show and Marvel’s Howard The Duck are still happening, as well.
It will be interesting to see if Ghost Rider will be shopped to other networks or end up on Disney+. The show was not going to be a true Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D spinoff, so a move to ABC seems unlikely. I will have more on this coming up on Episode 284 of the podcast this week.
UPDATED: Gabriel Luna posted his response to the cancellation on Instagram.
