Welcome to the main discussion thread for the Marvel Cinematic Universe! This pinned post is here to establish some basic guidelines. All of the Media Forum rules
still apply.
- This thread is for talking about the live-action films, TV shows, animated works, and related content that use the Marvel brand, currently owned by Disney.
- While mild digressions are okay, discussion of the comic books should go in this thread
. Extended digressions may be thumped as off-topic.
- Spoilers for new releases should not be discussed without spoiler tagging for at least two weeks. Rather, each title should have a dedicated thread where that sort of conversation is held. We can mention new releases in a general sense, but please be courteous to people who don't want to be spoiled.
If you're posting tagged spoilers, make sure that the film or series is clearly identified outside the spoiler tagging. People need to know what will be spoiled before they choose to read the post.

Yeah I was confused by that, the punisher is in the MCU, he's just in the netflix part which might as well not be, since it seemed to be one way at the time.
You can only write so much in your forum signature. It's not fair that I want to write a piece of writing yet it will cut me off in the mid![]()
It would be interesting to see if we could get a proper Marvel Studios Ghost Rider instead of Agents of SHIELD or Marvel Television. Hell, if they stick with Robbie Reyes being the main Rider, they could probably find a way to sneak in Nic Cage as Johnny Blaze.

I’d love if they could bring Gabriel Luna back as Robbie Reyes
He killed at that role
Forever liveblogging the AvengersC'mon, guys. You're obviously not getting it.
Someone called "Punisher" shouldn't kill people with guns, rockets or something like that.
Punisher should kill people with the most terrible, horrifying method mankind knows...
...with puns.
"You know, those kids that you just sold drugs were Star Wars-fans. I guess that makes you the Drug Lord of the Speed."
I mean, it's in the name: Punisher.
I assure you, I'm perfectly trustable personI have actually been ascribed the title of "Pun-isher" in a discord on that same play of words.
"All you Fascists bound to lose."
x5 This looks a lot like something Deadpool would come up with.
They could of course just do Danny Ketch. He is strangely the one Ghost Rider member (between the Blaze, Ketch and Reyes Power Trio) to not be properly used in live-action despite being arguably the most iconic Ghost Rider (most of what people associate with GR, like the chain, jacket and the Penance Stare, originated in Ketch's tenure).
It's a sort of Barry Allen/Wally West situation where Barry/Blaze is often used in adaptations and newer comics infused with the iconic traits of West/Ketch to beef up the character (although Marvel has been significantly better at balancing Blaze and Ketch than DC with Barry and Wally).
I think it'd be solid to have Danny Ketch in the MCU and Blaze as the predecessor Rider allá what they did with Hank Pym. Eventually have a movie/season with both teaming up like in the Aaron run.
PS: I also much prefer Ghost Rider on a bike and the imagery of biker culture associated with the character than hot rod cars. Partly, of course, because the Brazilian name of the character is roughly Ghost Biker (the word Rider doesn't exist in Portuguese).

"All you Fascists bound to lose."Riders should be associated with bikes.
I mean, we've had a rider who's a ghost, and two car driving riders, but bikes are where it's at.
One Strip! One Strip!I mean, it's in the name: Punisher.
I hate you so much right now, but I'm laughing so I guess it's worth it.

Huh. I would have guessed the first would ride a horse, but a mammoth is pretty cool.
So I suppose you could be a ghost rider if you just had another human piggybacking you as well huh.
One Strip! One Strip!Yes
Anyway, the first published Ghost Rider rode a horse and was a western hero that didn’t really have anything to do with the modern Ghost Rider concept, probably why he was eventually renamed Phantom Rider
The current first chronological ghost rider rode a flaming mammoth and is from the avengers 1000000 BC stuff. For some reason he feels like he had mortal kombat energy to him. Maybe the lack of shirt

Forever liveblogging the Avengers

If we get an implacable man tearing a bloody swathe through the scum of the world, I want Ghost Rider well before I ever want to see Punisher.
