The lengthy journey for Blade to lastly make it to the Marvel Cinematic Universe could also be over…and never in a great way.
For months and months, we have been solely getting unhealthy and disheartening information about Marvel’s Blade, which might be coming into the MCU greater than 25 years after Wesley Snipes first introduced the character to the large display. Now, the unhealthy information could also be over…relying in your view of the film. Because it stands, it could be that Blade has been cancelled utterly.
A number of sources are reporting that Marvel has put Blade to relaxation after a string of screenwriters and administrators circled, signed on and left the undertaking. One key supply this time round is The Playlist’s Rodrigo Perez, who posted a thread on X the place he detailed what may actually have been going behind the scenes that finally led to Blade probably – however not positively – being dulled.
For starters, Perez famous that the information that Chad Stahelski signing on as director (after Bassam Tariq and Yann Demange, whereas apparently Cari Joji Fukunaga had additionally been in talks) was false. Nevertheless, Mashershala Ali continues to be taking part in Blade (regardless of requires Wesley Snipe to reprise, particularly after his Deadpool & Wolverine cameo), though it might not be for a standalone film. So the place does that go away Ali within the MCU?
Final 12 months, after Blade was formally faraway from the discharge calendar, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige insisted that Ali would for positive be taking part in Blade, saying, “We love the character, we love Mahershala’s version of him. And rest assured: whenever we change direction with a project, or are still trying to figure out how it fits into our schedule, we let the public know. You’re up to date on what’s going on. But I can tell you that the character will be coming to the MCU.” So does this improvement imply that he’ll be a shock reveal in one thing like Avengers: Doomsday? Extra probably, it could be that Blade will get launched to the Marvel Cinematic Universe through Midnight Sons, as Blade is a part of the titular group which was first launched in 1992.
Genuinely, the information that Blade may formally be useless as a standalone Marvel film isn’t any shock because it feels prefer it has kind of gone nowhere of significance since first being introduced greater than 5 years in the past.
How would you’re feeling if Blade was formally useless at Marvel? The place do you need to see the character find yourself?
