Rather appropriately, Marvel Studios has revved up the ol’ marketing machine ahead of Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. fourth – and potentially final – season, with much of the promos designed to herald the arrival of Gabriel Luna’s Spirit of Vengeance, Ghost Rider.
Two days on from the full unveiling of Luna in costume as Robbie Reyes, we now have an extended promo for season 4’s premiere to share. From the flaming Dodge Charger to one victim chained up and awaiting Flame Head’s particular brand of Vengeance, the mere presence of Ghost Rider looks set to steer Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. toward darker territory – Marvel did promise an “edgier” and “grittier” take on the character, after all.
As for the promo above, there’s not an awful lot of new footage to digest – outside of Robbie Reyes brooding about his reign of terror – and it essentially plays out like the most recent trailer almost beat-for-beat. There is word of season 4’s second episode, though; entitled “Meet the New Boss,” you can have a gander at the first images right here.
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D season 4 has been pegged for September 20. Without question, Gabriel Luna’s Spirit of Vengeance is one of the big talking points going into next week’s season premiere, though fans can also look forward to appearances from Natalia Cordova-Buckley as Elena “Yo-Yo” Rodriguez, Mallory Jansen as Aida, Lorenzo James Henrie as Gabe and Briana Venskus as Agent Piper.
