Cosmic Ghost Rider Creator Donny Cates Debunks Marvel Movie Rumors

Writer Donny Cates recently debunked a report that claimed Marvel Studios have plans for Cosmic Ghost Rider in Phase Five.

Cosmic Ghost Rider creator Donny Cates  quickly stepped in to debunk a report claiming that Marvel Studios has plans in Phase Five for the bizarrely brilliant reinvention of Frank Castle. For those not familiar with Marvel Comics’ Cosmic Ghost Rider, here’s a crash course: In an alternate timeline the Punisher was killed when Thanos invaded Earth, before making a deal with Mephisto to become the Ghost Rider to get his revenge. When he returned, the Punisher also made an agreement to become the herald of Galactus, wandering the galaxy as the Cosmic Ghost Rider. And as amazing as that story would be to see on the big screen from Marvel, it’s not actually happening.

Donny Cates took to Twitter when a site claimed that Cosmic Ghost Rider is part of Marvel’s plans going forward, playing along to the idea before having to explicitly mention that he knew it was fake. He later mentioned that a Cosmic Ghost Rider movie is not impossible, but that he’d know about it if Marvel actually had plans. Take a look at his tweets debunking the site’s report about Marvel’s Phase Five below.

Although Gabriel Luna will be starring in a Ghost Rider series coming from Hulu, would you want to see Cosmic Ghost Rider on the big screen from Marvel Studios? Let us know in the comments.

Ghost Rider and Helstrom aren’t the only Marvel series coming to Hulu. The streamer is also developing another season of Marvel’s Runaways and recently announced a slew of animated programs for MODOK, Howard the Duck, Hit-Monkey and Tigra & Dazzler. These animated series will culminate in a crossover show titled The Offenders.
