MCU: 5 Things The Ghost Rider TV Show MUST Include

4. More Eli Morrow

Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. gave us quite a good bit of Robbie's uncle/greatest nemesis. But when moving him onto this show, there are definitely other avenues to explore with the character, inspired by the original comics.

For one thing - in case you haven't read the comic before - Eli is actually meant to be trapped inside Robbie's head, being the source of his powers as Ghost Rider.

As you can imagine, this opens up a lot of interesting story ideas... that the comic never got around to because it was cancelled right as it got really interesting.

Fortunately, it leaves the upcoming show with plenty of wiggle room to work with in terms of stories to tell. However, following this setup requires that Eli Morrow return to the cast.
