Marvel and Hulu stage Live-Action's "Ghost Rider" and "Helstrom" series – Deadline

The Marvel Universe is spreading like wildfire on Hulu! Marvel and Hulu announced today that they are expanding their partnership with two new live action series that will appeal to the Spirits of Vengeance: Marvel Ghost Rider and Marvel Helstrom. Both should begin on the streaming platform in 2020.

The anti-hero Ghost Rider, also known as Robbie Reyes, is consumed by the fire of hell and supernaturally linked to a demon. Reyes lives on the border between Texas and Mexico and when he frees the runner, Robbie takes revenge on the innocent he meets, while struggling to control the power that he holds. The series will be produced by Ingrid Escajeda, who will act as showrunner, Paul Zbyszewski and Jeph Loeb of Marvel.

This is not the first live iteration of the biker with a flaming skull. In 2007, Sony and Marvel released a movie based on the cartoon character directed by Mark Steven Johnson and starring Nicolas Cage in the Johnny Blaze version of the titular anti-hero. Ghost Rider returned to the Marvel Universe in 2016 Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. This time, he went through the version of Robbie Reyes of the character played by Gabriel Luna. We do not know yet whether the SHIELD. version of Ghost Rider will be associated with the new Hulu series.

In Helstrom, Daimon and Ana Helstrom are the son and daughter of a mysterious and powerful serial killer. Siblings have a complex dynamic when they hunt down the worst terrorists who terrorize – everyone with his attitude and skills. Marvel & # 39; s Helstrom is produced by Paul Zbyszewski, who will act as showrunner and Jeph Loeb of Marvel.

At the sound of the sound, Helstrom shares some similarities with the cartoon character Marvel Daimon Hellstrom, also known as Hellstorm and the Son of Satan. He appeared in the Ghost Rider comics before having his own Son of Satan series. He has demonic abilities and the ability to travel between the underworld. In comics, he has a sister named Satana – which probably explains why his sister is named Ana in the Hulu series. It will be interesting to see how the new series will be close to comics.

The brothers and sisters Helstrom and Ghost Rider live in the same world as the comics, so it is almost certain that there will be a cross between the two series. Runaways. Whatever it is, it is clear that Hulu embraces his inner occult.

Both series are co-productions with Marvel Television and ABC Signature Studios and join the next season three Marvel's Runaways and recently announced animated series for adults based on the popular characters of Marvel Television, including M.O.D.O.K of Marvel, Marvel's Hit-Monkey, Marvel's Tigra & Dazzler Show and Marvel's Howard the duck, which will end with a special event, The offenders of Marvel.
