The latest featurette for She-Hulk: Attorney at Law included a small nod to Johnny Blaze aka Ghost Rider, igniting speculation over when the character might make his official MCU debut.
Entertainment Tonight shared an exclusive clip of the upcoming Disney+ series, teasing more of what fans can expect from the show. One clip, around the 1:50 mark, shows Wong on a stage where he appears to be fighting off a few unknown winged creatures, but fans have had their attention diverted away from the action after a Ghost Rider reference was spotted in the scene.
In the corner of the frame, there appears to be a blurry poster that references the original Ghost Rider from the comics, Johnny Blaze, with the character's surname easily legible. The first name is less clear but the number of letters indicates that it doesn't spell out the name "Johnny," but perhaps "Donny" as a combination of Johnny and Danny Ketch, the third Ghost Rider.
Ghost Rider wasn't one of the several new Marvel films or TV shows announced during Comic-Con and Marvel hasn't explicitly mentioned the character appearing in the MCU before, but seeing how far and wide the universe is expanding it wouldn't really be a surprise to see it eventually — and Ryan Gosling has already thrown his hat in the ring for the role.
Of course, Ghost Rider previously appeared in Marvel's Agents of SHIELD, but there's some debate over whether that show could be considered MCU canon.
A new trailer for She-Hulk debuted at Comic-Con, teasing more of the series ahead of its premiere on August 17 and confirming the rumored appearance of Charlie Cox's Daredevil.
Marvel also delved deeper into their plans for the next few years, announcing that She-Hulk would be the penultimate Phase 4 entry and that more Avengers films are on the way.
