Marvel's Blade (TBA)

lol. Get that daughter shit outta here. Niggas always wanna “Girl Dad” some shit. Blade with guns, swords, vampires, blood and violence shouldn’t be this hard. Trying to mix in all that other bullshit is what is holding this film up.

They did it to Thor, did it to Ant Man, they're gonna hit Hawkeye with it twice 'cause at some point Lila's gonna step to the front while he has Kate Bishop under his wing. Why wouldn't they do the same thing to Blade?

I hear you but it’s marvel
 


Marvel Studios keeps trying to unsheathe Blade, but the vampire thriller is stuck in its scabbard. The latest setback occurred in recent weeks when the feature lost director Yann Demange, the second helmer to exit the project. Some sources say both sides grew frustrated by Blade’s prolonged development process.

Star Mahershala Ali is also said to be increasingly frustrated. Ali, who has been attached to the project since 2019, handpicked Demange after the project lost director Bassam Tariq in September 2022. At the time, Blade was in preproduction and about two months from principal photography, but Marvel came to believe that Tariq was not the best fit for the project, according to sources. Marvel then presented Ali with a list of directors for consideration, but Ali conducted his own search after having concerns that the list largely featured filmmakers who were untested at the big studio level.

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.

Demange’s Blade was batting its wings toward a shoot starting in May 2023 and hired yet another writer, True Detective creator Nic Pizzolatto, also an Ali pick, to bring the script over the finish line. But it was all for naught, as the writers strike, then the actors strike, shut the movie down. “People have missed about three windows to shoot other movies or shows,” an agent notes.

But unlike several other Marvel projects that were shut down and then restarted — including Deadpool & Wolverine and Thunderbolts — Blade instead let most of its actors go, Delroy Lindo and Aaron Pierre among them, and went through more writers. Marvel hired Michael Green in November. And right after Demange left, go-to Marvel writer Eric Pearson, who had pleased the studio with recent work on Thunderbolts and Fantastic Four, jumped in.

On top of last year’s strikes, Blade was a victim of pandemic delays and Disney’s full-steam-ahead pivot to streaming, which forced Marvel to overproduce and overdevelop its slate.

“There wasn’t enough attention paid to it,” says one insider. “It really was a casualty of the ‘too much’ era.”

That could explain why Blade kept on shifting storylines and time periods. The version that was aiming to shoot last year was set in the 1920s, according to sources, and featured Mia Goth as a vampire villain named Lilith who wanted the blood of Blade’s daughter. (Goth remains attached to star in the project.) For another iteration, under Tariq, Marvel built a massive train set, but it was never used. (It may be passed on to a different Disney production.) The new take on Blade is said to be present day.

It is unclear how many millions Marvel has spent on Blade, counting the development and pre-production costs. But it’s not stopping now. Marvel has learned in recent years that it does not pay to be rushed into production. And the studio prides itself on having a high development-to-production ratio, something that eludes most other companies. The new plan calls for the script to be written over the summer and then go out to directors.
 
So he wants a ton of say in everything. Why not just direct it himself? There are actors that direct and star in their own movies
 
The part about "the list largely featured filmmakers who were untested at the big studio level" is the BIG problem with Marvel of late. Way too many untested creatives getting IPs right now, especially some who don't even know anything about the IP they're set to run. Really it's a Disney problem across the board, and they may waste a 2-time Oscar winner over this bullshit.

Probably cheaper to get some unknown that can possibly make a hit than get some big name

Who is whining? I'm just commenting on Hollywood Reporter article, I didn't write that shit lol. Are you gonna act like this project isn't 5 years old, and gone through directors and writers yearly. Clearly Ali agrees that unknowns are very hit and miss, and lately mostly miss.

Calling out projects that have been a mess for 5+ years ain't "whining". If a studio makes a project like HotD then I praise it. If it makes garbage like Acolyte then I speak on it . I don't stan tv shows or movies.

And again, the Hollywood Reporter wrote that article. Most people watching from the sidelines see the shitshow that this Blade project is.

Ain't you the MF during the strike that said you worked on sets before?

Then your ass should know that a lot of movies in general go thru shit like that all the time.

Like I said you just whining and fucking complaining.
 
Shiiiiiii at this point they just need to follow the current run in comics.

Let blade be the big bad.

Cause Majors fucked it up.

Let blade be the second coming of Dracula while secretly trying to find a way to kill off the majority of the supernatural elements in the MCU (while also keeping blade the ultimate good guy) so marvel ain’t ever gotta stress the shit again.
