Exactly. If they really had plans, they would've fast-tracked it, liked they did every other placeholder movie during that phase. Ali's star has only gone down since, so his name means nothing anymore.

They cared more about SHYTTY Echo than fukkin Blade.
The reason the MCU exists and a slam dunk if done correctly.
Any writer worth a damn could write Blade in a week.
Look at the first movie, add some wrinkles and that's all she wrote
It ain't fukkin Othello.
At trying to "crack the write script". It's fukkin "Death Wish" with vampires. It's a revenge movie as old as time.You could polish off any Van Damme, Stallone, Arnold, Seagal flick in their prime and replace with vampires. Which is exactly what the first one was. John Wick took so much from this movie it's nuts.
Mix in some rap/techno/rock and marital arts.
Basically just remake the first one .

Demayou the original producer/writer fot Xmen 97 actually pitched a dope idea for Blade with the raid and involving the Darkhold book with Liliith. Sounded interesting and real supernatural but Disney turned it down.Dear Lord! Imagine Blade in a hive that was bigger than he expected and he's running out of garlic and grenades!

Blade making a cameo in WWBN was a layup and once that didn't happen it was a wrap
I was 100% betting on bruh making a cameo in WWBN lol. I mean they had Elsa Bloodstone in it but no Blade smh.

Yea, Marvel (and Disney by extension) are still a buncha corporate white folks who struggle balancing wanting to maximize profit with their inherent disposition to still treat blacks/africans with contempt.
- Undercooking and emasculating Rhodey, Falcon, and Nick Fury for years, then tryna gift them shows bc they need streaming content, but then continue to undercook and emasculate them in those shows.
- After 15 years of telling Wesley to fukk off everytime he approached them for a Blade project, they give it to a younger, trendier actor w/o hesi... but then present him some 4th-billing Charlie's Angels bullshyt... then enter a 6-year cold war with him... then mock him by finally giving a geriatric Wesley a (10-minute cameo) reprisal, to drop a sub... now back to stalling until the once trendy actor will be as geriatric as Wesley was?

They were fully prepared to let this strong black character die on the vine until Ryan Reynolds was a nice enough to salvage his relationship with Wesley Snipes..
Shyt if we keeping it a buck it goes back to the first Blade movie with disrespect of black lead roles. New Line (despite having Friday and other black led movies like Above The Rim ) wanted to make Blade white.
Only got saved cause Wesley (a juggernaut then) was in the fold due to him not getting Black Panther.
These young dudes have no idea the miracle Wesley pulled off in 98.
Comics flicks were DONE after the Batman/Robin debacle. This movie had zero buzz and expectations coming out stormed out the gate and saved the entire genre
He got full creative control, executive producer credit, got to choreograph fight scenes and add his own wrinkles to the character. He was basically the entire boss of the film and it showed in the results.
You saw what happened once he lost creative control

didn't even have to. just toss one little crumb in there for the youtube nerds to hype people up with. remember when his voice was in the Eternals post credit? no one on earth would have known it was him, so something better than that, but they could have easily just said something about a daywalker, whatever

only way we're ever gonna see Mahershala Ali play Blade in live action is if dude changes his name to Methuselah Ali. shyt is toasted. and if it's dead now, they ain't making room for it on the schedule once the Xmen garbage takes over
