I haven't hunted down all the news on this, but I happened upon this official teaser...

When you insult someone by calling them a "pig" or a "dog" you aren't maligning pigs and dogs everywhere.  The same is true of any term used as an insult.

Yeah, they have been advertising about this for some time now on busses and billboards.  It's not the Johnny Cage Ghost Rider though.   It's Robbie Reyes who drives a car instead of a motorcycle.  He is also bonded with the ghost of a serial killer instead of the spirit of vengeance.  Somehow despite this he has all the same powers.

Johnny Cage?  He's not afraid to die, but he's not Ghost Rider.  :)

I know you meant to say Johnny Blaze, but the slip amused me.  I'm unfamiliar with this Reyes chap by name.  I'll have to look into it.

Punching heads off would be an odd turn for Ghost Rider.

I'm bad and that's good.
I'll never be good and that's not bad.
There's no one I'd rather be than me.

...unless I could be Batman, of course. Everybody wants to be Batman.

The worst part is that I can't be sure if that was an honest typo, or if my phone's word list betrayed me...

Johnny Blaze played by Nicolas Cage.

Close enough.  ;D

I'm definitely happy with Ghost Rider so far.  Not too happy with Quake though.  Looks like her fighting ability has been considerably downgraded.

Vee

Good to know that rogue agents can be recognized by increased eye shadow though.

And any downgrading of her ability to corner people to talk about their feelings is a plus in my book.

Eyeshadow = anti-hero.  Noted.

I wasn't too big on Ghost Rider myself, so it's a meh-development for me.  They picked a decent actor for the role, though.  He might bring something to it himself.

I think the show is going fast pace within 2 episodes already.

I'm digging the look of the new Ghost Rider.  The beady, glowing eyes and the flames bursting out of his noggin cracks looks really good.

Obviously this is a lead in for Doctor Strange in a month or so.  So what's after Doctor Strange?  Thor III?

I think so.  Spiderman:  Homecoming should still be a ways out.

It most likely will be Thor - I can't see Guardians fitting into a SHIELD storyline. They already did the space thing with the Kree. And Spidey is still far off as someone said. Plus if the deal is for Spidey to be in Marvel films, it may not carry over into the TV world.
