THAT ARTICLE SAID
NO SUCH THING.

NOT SURE HOW YOU
LEAPED TO THIS CONCLUSION


:devil:
:evil:


Ali has, at times, exercised an inordinate amount of influence over the project, in a way few other actors have on Marvel movies. Part of it stems from Blade’s inception, which began when Ali called the studio after winning the Oscar for his work on Green Book and said he wanted to do Blade. Ali has envisioned Blade as his Black Panther, according to sources.

THIS HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO
WITH THEM INCLUDING BLADES DAUGHTER
IN EVERY VERSION OF THE SCRIPT.

THE OG SCRIPT HAD
BLADE AS THE 4TH LEAD
BEHIND 3 WOMEN HEROES.
OF COURSE HE USED TO POWER
TO SCRAP THAT BULLshyt.

ALI IS SIMPLY TELLING THEM
TO COME BACK WITH A GOOD SCRIPT.

It does. The marvel movie that he wants to emulate the most that just so happens to have some prominent women characters. If it was purely a script thing the BP comparisons wouldn’t be even mentioned if that’s what Ali was going for.

dem days are over right now. they've ruined the brand.

starting to really think they just hit a lick with the Infinity Saga. sometimes you get lucky and catch lightning in a bottle.

literally everything since has been mid at best.

at some point, you gotta call it what it is.

The mutants are their last chance to right the ship. They cannot fukk it up with trash stories, effects, and sadly agendas.

KNOW YOUR AUDIENCE.

As far as Blade, I hope Mahershala got something on the front end just in case they cancel this. This whole thing has been a joke.

Don't need to incorporate her at all. She is basically an unknown character to the wider audience. No following in the comics. Marvel has no idea if people will even be receptive to her as a concept. They're Forcing it right now honestly.
Way different compared to say X-23 who had some popularity in comics before being in movie as wolverines clone/daughter.
And even then she was introduced in his third solo movie and after he appeared in like 8 films overall.
Blade hasn't been in shyt yet, they need give him some time to shine before giving it to another character with the same abilities.

It's not the same though. For 1, Brielle only been around for like 8 months, and only been on the table for maybe a decade (Fallon Grey was the original idea). Her creation was solely to incorporate her into a potential Blade movie. By your only theory, you don't know how people will respond to Blade as a character either, so doing both doubles the chances that either will be popular. I said like 8 years ago that it seemed that Marvel would probably only do team-up flicks going forward, and here were are. If it's not Brielle, it's going to be another character in the team-up.

Wolverine's solo movie was already in motion when X-23 debuted in X-Men Evolution, so his trajectory was already planned. And Wolverine is like one of the handful that could do a solo. Blade isn't on Wolverine's level. Hell, most of the fans of the Blade movie had no clue it was a comicbook or Marvel character until the 3rd one. And they aren't fans of the comicbook character and have no idea how the new interpretation of the character will be. You can't want Wesley's version, but someone else in the role. Goyer wrote the treatment, but Wesley incorporated his entire style and demeanor into the character that gave it that extra oomph. It wasn't all Wesley, since the personality had already been displayed in the Spider-Man cartoon, but a collaborative effort. If Ali did his own take based on his personality, he's be more like the 70s/80s blaxploitation, laid back Blade.

I actually liked Sticky's interpretation on Spike TVs highest rated premier ever, and I watched that entire series from episode 1 to cancellation. He wasn't the problem.

They should've never announced a Blade movie to begin with. I stand by that.

Westley snipes appearing as blade in a ryan reynolds movie just seems so deadpoolish and meta, and will be too good to pass up. I wouldn't be surprised if true tbh. Even if just for a cameo.
Seems unlikely Ryan Reynolds and Wesley hate each other
