Viewers lucky enough to stay spoiler free were treated to a major surprise at the end of this week’s WandaVision, when Evan Peters showed up as Quicksilver. Not only did if further cement the idea that literally anything is possible in WestView, but it also made the actor the very first member of the X-Men to debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Not only that, but having a character from a franchise that originated at a different studio show up in the MCU is a groundbreaking development, although Marvel do hold the obvious benefit of having the entire Fox roster of superheroes at their disposal after parent company Disney purchased their former rivals.
Now that the cross-pollination inside the MCU has extended to properties that have never fallen under Kevin Feige’s purview before, the speculation is only going to increase as to who could swing by next. One fan favorite contender has always been Nicolas Cage’s Ghost Rider, and there’s been plenty of rumors that it could end up happening.
At this point, there’s nothing stopping Marvel from making it a reality if that’s the direction they want to head in. After all, the rights to the supernatural antihero reverted back from Sony in 2013, but so far we’ve only seen the Robbie Reyes version play a recurring role in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., before his planned Hulu spinoff was canceled.
The only problem would be that Cage’s Ghost Rider duology is owned by Sony, which would make it a lot trickier to incorporate his take on Johnny Blaze into official MCU canon. Of course, there’s every chance Peters might not be Fox’s Quicksilver at all, but part of the fun surrounding the multiverse is trying to predict what’s coming next.
