I’m not totally sure if there’s a major reason, I know they tend to add characters who are getting a new comic or otherwise being important in the comics or movies of the time. They added Gamora, Rocket and Groot, and recently Star Lord due to the GotG movie. They also added Squirrel Girl because she was getting a new comic and Lady Thor for the same reason. If they ever do something special with Ghost Rider he’ll probably get added to the game in some form.
I’d love for them to add Johnny Blaze. With the recent “All-New Ghost Rider” comic cancelled/wrapping-up very soon, maybe Marvel will relaunch a new Blaze-featured GR comic, which would be a great opportunity for some MPQ cross-promotion.
(Incidentally, I believe Marvel also got back the film/TV rights to Ghost Rider – and Blade! – so it’s always possible for them and the rest of the Midnight Sons to pop up in these 4 upcoming Netflix shows sometime)
I’m not holding my breath for that one. I thought the new Flash series had a chance of not being garbage and it turns out they hired a team of retarded monkeys to write the script.
I beg to differ, sir! The character of Flash feels a lot like Wally West inhabiting Bary Allen’s origin, but the show itself is a lot of fun. I think the movie version of Flash with pale by comparison. One series I found kinda hackneyed was Constantine. I gave it 3 episodes and it just didn’t win me over.
Back to the topic of Ghost Rider… one of the most visually impressive characters of all time - and I’m talking the Danny Ketch incarnation - he sorely needs to be added to MPQ.
Sadly, I think it’s most likely that he’ll be included in the game sometime around the next Halloween. Without a film, or TV series, it’s less likely he’ll get a push early.
That said, Squirrel Girl just appeared… Unless she’s in Age of Ultron… Something to think about…
With the recent addition of Cyclops, I’d be weary of them announcing Ghost Rider any time soon.
Judging from Cyclops’ costume they used, we wouldn’t be getting Blaze, but Robbie Reyes instead for Ghost Rider. Although. I haven’t read the newest Ghost Rider, I’d rather have Danny Ketch over him if they’re not going to give us Blaze.
Even with the new GR series, you HAVE to go with the Ketch look. It’s too iconic. Even the more recent Johnny Blaze stories have him looking like the Ketch GR minus the 90’s bike.
