10 Supernatural Heroes We Can’t Wait To See In The MCU

2. Ghost Rider

"Oh, but Agents of SHIELD!" Agents of Shield isn't canon. We've yet to see Ghost Rider in the actual MCU, and Marvel hasn't insinuated that we will any time soon. So why insist on putting him so high on the list? Well... just look at him! Be it Johnny Blaze, Danny Ketch, Robbie Reyes, or one of the many others to don the mantle, Ghost Rider is an MCU superstar in the making.

Not only is Ghost Rider one of the most visually arresting characters in the Marvel Comics pantheon, but he's arguably their most well-known paranormal hero as well. Walking Dead star Norman Reedus - a frequent fan-favorite for the role- has expressed interest in playing the character, and since the Nicolas Cage movies were poorly received (to say the least), Marvel's version won't be contending with a beloved prior iteration, à la the X-Men.

He has interacted with basically every character on this list, and at various points, he's been a member of the Midnight Sons, the Legion of Monsters, the Thunderbolts, the Secret Defenders, the Avengers of the Supernatural, and the Heroes for Hire. His inclusion somewhere is a no-brainer, and it's only a matter of time until we see his flaming noggin gracing our screens.
