@@HeyQueen-fj1oz I have to ask because out of literally nowhere, here you are with a rather creepy, ad hominem Campea rant (now two of them) having _nothing whatsoever_ to do with my post. Kindly go prattle to someone as obsessed with his personal life as you are. How utterly weird.
None of these Hollywood nerds are martial artist…such a stupid comment! Don’t worry in case you didn’t know Ryan doesn’t know how to sword fight even though Deadpool does know…
Well yes, it’s a tv show with a character that debuted in the MCU before Blade did (and said character became hugely popular). I mean honestly it’s not… eh, fuggetaboutit
Some people are saying it's because Feige didn't originally have a plan for a Blade movie. Well, I don't think he did have a plan for an Agatha project either. Also, Feige not having a plan wouldn't be a justification, but it could be somewhat understandable.
From Jeff Sneider's reports, it sounds like Demange left before they'd even announced the newly hired screenwriter. Apparently Demange was being incredibly toxic and difficult and Mahershala asked for a new director to be found while the script was being tightened up by Michael Green (Logan). I don't think Ali is leaving the project and I think it will be be only slightly delayed to maybe Summer 2026. Sounds like Blade isn't intended to be a trilogy or anything, they just want a solo outing before the Midnight Sons film, which Michael Green is also scripting according to reports this week. A supplementary character they want involved as a supporting member for Avengers and Midnight Sons.
Ali is too old to play this character. It’s time to move on and just cancel the film. Reboot it make it a solo films and not part of the current mcu universe
He is not to old let me give u update l jaskson is play fury for almost decade and he is still stand even when he is close to be 80 years old ,ali can do the same thing
Chad Stahelski has been asking to do this fucking thing from the start. He set up a meeting with feige after the release of John Wick 3… feige said no😂 and Chad has continued to say he really wants to do it and is waiting for the call… just give him the fucking call 😅
”bad optics”? How can the optics be any worse than they are now.? Who made the first Blade Trilogy? Blade is low-hanging-fruit…they are going to ruin another IP and I am beginning to think they are doing it on purpose. Bring in Chad and blow up Blade franchise like they did to the Wick franchise - like I said, low-hanging-fruit. I think feige and Disney are afraid of Chad making Blade a strong and Stoic male character like Wick, but Blade was already that way back in the 90s. They will never admit this publicly, this is a hot mess 💩
They didn’t recast T’challa, and tried to put Blade in the backseat of his own movie, then can’t get it together this bad only with Blade. Something seems off and this is purposeful.
I don't think it's a plot against the black man ...when one is captain America. And wonder man and Nick Fury just had a show and Luke Cage before that. And T'challa being recast would have put the actor in a shitty position as he would always be compared to Chadwick. Some movies just have bad luck.
I’m of the mind that Mahershala Ali is actually the passionate soul holding this project up. He’s on record saying that this is something he was heavily involved in bringing to life, and I think his attachment is more than just an acting commitment. Whether that’s good or bad, idk, but I imagine that a two time Oscar winner with (potentially) producer-level power is gonna push the qualitative boundaries of this project.
John may have actually touched on a good theory when he casually mentioned Ali's disapproval of the script. It would fit the facts that Ali is still in it after all the delays and that they're stuck in the development pit if the Oscar winning star is himself, the holdup and kiboshing every decision so far concerning writing and directing, sticking to such a high standard no one can meet it. Maybe the project is... somebody's baby, Ali's, so he can't give up until he, himself finds a way to make it work. A star, especially an Oscar winner can have that kind of power. Maybe it's Feige who'll have to walk away.
I feel like the only reason why they are doing Blade is because Ali said Blade to Kevin in the meeting they had.I wonder if Marvel even had plans for Blade at all honestly. I also wondered what kind of role Kevin had in mind for Ali
Calling it, with Jurassic World beginning filming soon and Ali is confirmed to be in that, no way does this film begin shooting this Summer and they just lost their Director. I'd be surprised if it begins shooting this year. My prediction is Ali walks and this movie is shelved.
Give Jordan Peele complete creative control and he’d do it. That’s why all these directors/writers are leaving. Disney wants to make the movie. Too many cooks
this is why i appreciate gunn’s new initiative at dc to not announce or even start casting roles unless they a have a script and director locked down first
Is this a writing issue? They don’t have a solid screenplay and it might be the cause of all the tension between direction and talent. Hoping for the best, still wanna see Ali’s Blade! Just do a one off, no Kit Harrington or worrying about continuity and whatnot, just tell us a badass story Batman style!
The only way they would get Peele is if they give him creative control over the project. Have him make the movie he wants to do without interfering with setting things up and I think he would easily play ball.
Marvel needs to do something like in Red Dead 2. That side mission where Arthur happens across a vampire. If Marvel wants to set up blade properly, in one of the shows Daredevil Born Again would be a good one. have a brief scene where Daredevil hears commotion in a near by alleyway and by the time he gets there it's just a dead body with holes in it's neck. His radar sense picks up like claw marks that scurried up the building. He tries to pursue it but comes up dry. Brief and we would get it. In red dead it was random but awesome af. Could even do something similar in the next Spider-Man Movie, or have the Punisher briefly mention that there is a slew of missing people and its even stumping him. Then in blade have black knight be like if vampires exist how come we have never seen them before? All Blade has to say is you gotta know where to look mofo and gives him infrared goggles. Just like in blade 2 you see infrared symbols on the side of some building and or night clubs and that's one way they be hiding. That's crazy how I just came up with some dope a** connections to set up blade. In a cool way to make it connect to the MCU in a way that makes sense. Took me all of 10 minutes.
i would put serious money on Mahershala Ali being the reason for the delays. he's the only reason this movie is (supposedly) happening right now and i believe Marvel is placating him to keep him attached to the project.
It's because they don't really care about Black Male Superheroes. Look at what they did to T'Challa after a tragedy. Look at what they did to Rhodey. Look at what they're DOING to Sam Wilson and Blade. A lot of Black comic fans are losing interest, myself included . I don't think the Jordan Peele thing, IF it turns out to be true will completely turn it around!
The smarter thing for them to do would’ve been to not cast Blade yet, because now everyone is just sitting here wondering how getting Mahershala Ali is gonna work considering how he’s 50 years old and he still hasn’t even started being Blade yet, at this point there’s no getting around it, he’s gonna have to drop out at some point, whether it’s before this movie or during Blade’s time in the MCU he simply can’t do it for as long as Marvel originally wanted him to anymore, the wiser thing for them to do would’ve been to just announce that they’re making a Blade movie and that’s it, they should’ve waited until they were closer to actually going into production to announce who it is, because then you’d actually have proof that this movie is happening to back up the casting choice, but all this time other than Mahershala Ali’s name being attached they’ve had next to nothing to show for this movie’s legitimacy, and I’m starting to think there could be a possibility that this project just gets scrapped altogether, because with how much it’s been reworked it sounds like whatever gets turned out is gonna be a jumbled mess, maybe they could drop this project and try to redo it from scratch in maybe a decade or so but at this point I think they might have to just call a loss a loss and let it go
Ahh the The mouse house too scared of getting too bloody and gory? this is just what the MCU needed to go in a much more serious and darker direction but of course they're screwing it up as usual
I never had any hopes simply because i heard that they weren't even considering Blade until Mahershala Ali called up Kevin Feige and said "I want to do Blade"
They need to find a way to keep Mahershala Ali busy within the MCU. There has to be some way they can put Blade in other films while he waits for them to sort out the Blade film.
It’s writing a film that obeys the rules of the MCU and creating a world that fits in with the current universe without creating plot holes for other movies.
They should have fast tracked this when they first announced it. Even back then Ali was arguably too old. If they ever do a Blade 2 (if the first one even gets off the ground), he’ll probably be in his mid-50s. Then again Schwarzenegger still did several action movies as an elderly man, so I guess there’s hope for Ali doing a few for the MCU. His age and the delays are still a concern.
You call it an embarrassment I call it relief I would prefer all these shifts and changes before a camera starts rolling. I’d rather them get it right and make the movie they want to make instead of making it and trying to salvage
Honestly, the Blade turmoil's been going on so long at this point that I just don't care anymore. It was obviously going to come out a trainwreck during the Chapek years, so at the very least, that version didn't see the light of day.
The only way they can get out of the embarrassment is to do something like this…they could turn it around and really knock it out of the park. Imagine getting a horror director to shoot a movie about a vampire super hero. They really need to lean heavy into the horror aspect. It needs to be horrific and gory first and foremost. Appeal to the horror crowd and you can have a major hit.
It's called production hell, and it's a part of Hollywood. Problem now is that every little movie idea in Hollywood is made public, and so it's embarrassing when it falls apart.
Mahershala Ali is a talented actor but I think he may too old for a franchise that’s just beginning and may last the next 10 years. He is 50 years old so he rill play blade until age 60!? Not a good idea. I had always said from the start that they should have chosen Y'lan Noel. He is talented, has the physique, and has already done action. Just see him fight in The First Purge. That’s my 2 cents.
You mean iron man that doesn't fight and uses CGI? Yeah buddy, not the same comparison. Blade is a very physical role unless they are trying to be like Iron Man with of CGI then Ali is your guy. Got my point now?
Mahershala will walk, then the movie will get canned. It makes no sense for a Blade movie right now (unless it’s a standalone). Personally I’d like to see a soft reboot after secret wars. Then have the X-MEN be the equivalent to The Avengers in the new era, have the F4 be the equivalent to the Antman side of things, then have the Midnight Sons be the equivalent to The GOTG. Have solo projects in between, ex. Gambit and Rouge, Magneto Origins, Blade, Moon Knight, Ghost Rider, Silver Surfer, etc. Right now they need to wrap everything up, from now, the past, Fox universe, MCU, just everything, and start with a clean slate after secret wars.
6 years in development. I think that’s longer than it took to develop, produce, film and release the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy (including launching the Extended editions after the movies were finally out of theatres)
i wonder what is being turned in by the creative teams, it must be consistently bad. im sure they losing directors cuz they cant get to shooting and they have other gigs
I agree with everything the current marvels are gonna lose interest with this movie keep getting delayed while the og blade fans are gonna have high hopes for it and it if it sucks we audiences lose. Why isn’t sticky jones as blade always get slept he wasn’t a bad blade either. Blade was my first introduction to the darker hero’s besides punisher. I think they just do a 80s blade with a his team when he started hunting I think it will be a cool introduction to the character and how he would be the sword fighting and shooting blade when he’s a little older. I remember reading a comic where blade is set on the late 70s and we see him hunting with a team that would be a cool story for a movie. I remember by the end he is the only surviving member of the team and uses all their weapons as a part of his weapon accessory when hunting
I thought Michael Green is still credited for writing Blade, they just added another writer, not replace Michael Green. That Michael Green is now writing The Midnight Sons.
Go bankrupt, do you know how much profit most of these movies make? Just because there’s been some flops overall between the merch and movies this is still Disney’s biggest brand and Deadpool 3 will be huge
@@willlamark8694 They are firing people left and right and just lost 900 million dollars. Sign of a healthy company right? Time to pay attention. Disney had the formula down to a T and what did they do with it? Drive it into the ground, Star Wars and Marvel, impressive.
@@iraford5788 Google is your friend. Try and use it. Took me exactly 10 seconds to figure out the losses and that they fired thousands of people. I'm feeling you got an emotional agenda protecting Disney from their downfall.
Marvel exects have too many demands they want to shoehorn in, that's why writers are failing to meet the mark. Nothing is sticking, because the MCU is already amidst an identity crisis, especially with how they're handling R-rated things. Who here remembers Echo? Origin stories as significant as this have to mean something for the MCU, and so exects have their idea of what matters, and it's up the writers and directors to find a narrative that checks all the boxes. Newsflash though, it can't be done. This movie will be the modern Alien 3, mark my words.
I think if they are going to actually make the film they should bring back David S Goyer who wrote the previous films (and unfortunately directed the third one)
The moment they said Blade might be PG-13, that was the trickling down effect….. Then you had that report Blade won’t be the main character…. Might as well put it to sleep.
tbh at this point if they even want to make it happen, how about short featured movie to at least get him on screen like werewolf by night instead of going to big screen? or stop with mess in production and agendas
Stick a fork in it; it's done. In reality, probably not. I actually think there's a pretty sizable chance that John is right and that Blade is what they interviewed Jordan Peele for. And it's probably a great match. But I have never been interested in this movie. I don't particularly like vampires, and if it comes out, I'll have to watch it because I'm committed to watching all the MCU stuff. I could be surprised by it and end up liking it, especially with a quality director and quality lead actor, but if it gets canceled straight up, I won't mourn it for a second.
They’re gonna find another actor as well, since Ali is now filming Jurassic World and will be occupied until October. Don’t know how this movie can be ready for next year.
I say just scrap it Never mind budgets, rewrites, etc At this point, this logistical nightmare has been very publicly played out so thoroughly, I don't think there's any way people will give this movie a fair shot IF it gets made, people are gonna go into the movie EXPECTING it to be bad
A lot of ppl forget. It wasn't actually Kevin Feige and Marvel that announced Blade in their next phase, initially, in that phase line-up. It was Ali getting his 2nd Oscar and he was asked on Stage" hey Ali if you could do anything right now what would you want to do in movies? Ali responded yo the crowd, I would want be in Marvel and play Blade. Then Ali calls out Kevin Feige and is like HEY Kevin, can we make this happen? Kevin Feige looked completely caught off guard and he just smiled and shook his head - THAT IS HOW THIS ABOMINATION STARTED 😂
At this rate Mahershala Ali will have to be an actual vampire when filming starts

Blade can essentially be a movie similar to John Wick. How hard is it to do vampires, swords and mix in a bit of revenge??? Get it done MCU.
still not as much of a mess as the flash production (9 years on the DCEU slate, but dates back to the 2000s and even 1980)
I agree. Not sure what one has to do w the other though.
Jordan Peele would be the perfect director for Blade but it still doesn't justify how many directors and writers that Blade has lost
From Jeff Sneider's reports, it sounds like Demange left before they'd even announced the newly hired screenwriter. Apparently Demange was being incredibly toxic and difficult and Mahershala asked for a new director to be found while the script was being tightened up by Michael Green (Logan).

I can't WAIT for the movie about the making of MCU Blade by Seth Rogan and Evan Goldberg
I always think they should have a
1.) Script
2.) Cast
3.) Start production before announcing anything at D23.
I hope they get Chad Stahelski to direct Blade. Can you imagine the John Wick director making a Blade film. Rated R.
Ali is too old to play this character. It’s time to move on and just cancel the film. Reboot it make it a solo films and not part of the current mcu universe
He is not to old let me give u update l jaskson is play fury for almost decade and he is still stand even when he is close to be 80 years old ,ali can do the same thing

Perfect opportunity for Jordan Peele to slide in there...
I dont think it coincidence that we heard about this
We might get GTA6 before Blade in the MCU
They didn’t recast T’challa, and tried to put Blade in the backseat of his own movie, then can’t get it together this bad only with Blade.
Something seems off and this is purposeful.
I don't think it's a plot against the black man ...when one is captain America. And wonder man and Nick Fury just had a show and Luke Cage before that. And T'challa being recast would have put the actor in a shitty position as he would always be compared to Chadwick. Some movies just have bad luck.
I’m of the mind that Mahershala Ali is actually the passionate soul holding this project up. He’s on record saying that this is something he was heavily involved in bringing to life, and I think his attachment is more than just an acting commitment. Whether that’s good or bad, idk, but I imagine that a two time Oscar winner with (potentially) producer-level power is gonna push the qualitative boundaries of this project.
Agreed. But if true, the film (he) better deliver...
The real villain of this story is not vampires. It's the production team.
They have story , the use green's scrpit but they need a new vision for that
Why not try to hire James Wann to be director of Blade . He’d be perfect
His horror movies suck we need somone like ari aster somone who dont neednto use jumpscare in his movies

At this point we might get the Blade video game Xbox is making which still isn’t coming out til 2026-2027, before this film.
The reason its difficult is because the mcu can't find the right balance of R ratedness for this movie. The actor does not want it to be thor 4
Next week Peele is announced as director....the following week Peele announced to leave as director
Bold to assume he'll be announced as director before it's announced he's leaving 💀🤣

CANCEL IT. It does not fit anywhere in the MCU blueprint. This is where the extended Universe comes into play.

I never had any hopes simply because i heard that they weren't even considering Blade until Mahershala Ali called up Kevin Feige and said "I want to do Blade"

It's a factory at this point. A director is just a cog in the machine that is Disney at this point.
Just imagine a Blade movie directed by him, with the stellar fight choreography and art direction. That would be amazing.
Blade is not PG. Can't get around it. Deadpool will prove wrong.
Why is it so difficult to write a Blade movie???? Seems pretty easy, IMO

All this controversy with this movie just turns me off to it
I'm sure Disney would kill it but what about John Boyega for Blade if/when Mahershala leaves?

It's called production hell, and it's a part of Hollywood. Problem now is that every little movie idea in Hollywood is made public, and so it's embarrassing when it falls apart.
Maybe Blade was the friends we made along the way…
Deadpool v Wolverine better make fun of this. Too good not to
Mahershala Ali is a talented actor but I think he may too old for a franchise that’s just beginning and may last the next 10 years. He is 50 years old so he rill play blade until age 60!? Not a good idea. I had always said from the start that they should have chosen Y'lan Noel. He is talented, has the physique, and has already done action. Just see him fight in The First Purge. That’s my 2 cents.
Rdj wqs in his mid 40 when he play iron man what is your point
You mean iron man that doesn't fight and uses CGI? Yeah buddy, not the same comparison. Blade is a very physical role unless they are trying to be like Iron Man with of CGI then Ali is your guy. Got my point now?
@@TommyVee646 dude my piont is the whole too old thing don't work when for that one thing he nned to do is bulk up and keep health that it
Mahershala will walk, then the movie will get canned.
It makes no sense for a Blade movie right now (unless it’s a standalone).
Personally I’d like to see a soft reboot after secret wars. Then have the X-MEN be the equivalent to The Avengers in the new era, have the F4 be the equivalent to the Antman side of things, then have the Midnight Sons be the equivalent to The GOTG. Have solo projects in between, ex. Gambit and Rouge, Magneto Origins, Blade, Moon Knight, Ghost Rider, Silver Surfer, etc.
Right now they need to wrap everything up, from now, the past, Fox universe, MCU, just everything, and start with a clean slate after secret wars.
6 years in development. I think that’s longer than it took to develop, produce, film and release the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy (including launching the Extended editions after the movies were finally out of theatres)
i wonder what is being turned in by the creative teams, it must be consistently bad. im sure they losing directors cuz they cant get to shooting and they have other gigs
This movie is never going to get off the ground.
Bring back the original director of Blade - Stephen Norrington!
Disney couldn't handle that gas and vision.
I agree with everything the current marvels are gonna lose interest with this movie keep getting delayed while the og blade fans are gonna have high hopes for it and it if it sucks we audiences lose. Why isn’t sticky jones as blade always get slept he wasn’t a bad blade either. Blade was my first introduction to the darker hero’s besides punisher. I think they just do a 80s blade with a his team when he started hunting I think it will be a cool introduction to the character and how he would be the sword fighting and shooting blade when he’s a little older. I remember reading a comic where blade is set on the late 70s and we see him hunting with a team that would be a cool story for a movie. I remember by the end he is the only surviving member of the team and uses all their weapons as a part of his weapon accessory when hunting
I thought Michael Green is still credited for writing Blade, they just added another writer, not replace Michael Green. That Michael Green is now writing The Midnight Sons.
This is ridiculous the Marvel cinematic universe/ marvel studios needs to pull them selves together or go bankrupt
Go bankrupt, do you know how much profit most of these movies make? Just because there’s been some flops overall between the merch and movies this is still Disney’s biggest brand and Deadpool 3 will be huge
@@willlamark8694 They are firing people left and right and just lost 900 million dollars. Sign of a healthy company right? Time to pay attention. Disney had the formula down to a T and what did they do with it? Drive it into the ground, Star Wars and Marvel, impressive.
@@kanutt1you obviously don't know what you're talking about and aren't a person to be taken seriously for a reason.
@@iraford5788 Google is your friend. Try and use it. Took me exactly 10 seconds to figure out the losses and that they fired thousands of people. I'm feeling you got an emotional agenda protecting Disney from their downfall.
@@iraford5788 What's the reason?
*Blade has officially become the new Black Adam.*
They announced after this after endgame…
Marvel exects have too many demands they want to shoehorn in, that's why writers are failing to meet the mark. Nothing is sticking, because the MCU is already amidst an identity crisis, especially with how they're handling R-rated things.
Who here remembers Echo?
Origin stories as significant as this have to mean something for the MCU, and so exects have their idea of what matters, and it's up the writers and directors to find a narrative that checks all the boxes.
Newsflash though, it can't be done.
This movie will be the modern Alien 3, mark my words.
I'd say hire those 2 directors that made bad boys Ride or die, they already direct the pilot episode of ms marvel.
I think if they are going to actually make the film they should bring back David S Goyer who wrote the previous films (and unfortunately directed the third one)
The moment they said Blade might be PG-13, that was the trickling down effect…..
Then you had that report Blade won’t be the main character….
Might as well put it to sleep.
To be fair DC and Star Wars did this like 20 times. Marvel has only had 1 movie like this
And people will say that this movie is doom or this need to be cancel
If I were Mahershala Ali, I would tell Marvel that I’m out. This is ridiculous
He ia the only reson thia movie going to exist
@@HeyQueen-fj1oz i juat really want to ask you,do you think he is lie in this video here or he just not serious at all?
tbh at this point if they even want to make it happen, how about short featured movie to at least get him on screen like werewolf by night instead of going to big screen? or stop with mess in production and agendas
Stick a fork in it; it's done.
In reality, probably not. I actually think there's a pretty sizable chance that John is right and that Blade is what they interviewed Jordan Peele for. And it's probably a great match. But I have never been interested in this movie. I don't particularly like vampires, and if it comes out, I'll have to watch it because I'm committed to watching all the MCU stuff. I could be surprised by it and end up liking it, especially with a quality director and quality lead actor, but if it gets canceled straight up, I won't mourn it for a second.
Hey does anyone know the shoes ad that is on the John Campea show? I can’t remember what it’s called
Probably vessi
Pause for a sec… what joy and light stuff is anyone asking for in a Blade movie?
Film needs to be scrapped now and just have Ali come and do some multiverse cameos….
Release this stuff when xmen comes in
I think no one wants to make this movie the way marvel wants to make it
They’re gonna find another actor as well, since Ali is now filming Jurassic World and will be occupied until October. Don’t know how this movie can be ready for next year.
I say just scrap it
Never mind budgets, rewrites, etc
At this point, this logistical nightmare has been very publicly played out so thoroughly, I don't think there's any way people will give this movie a fair shot
IF it gets made, people are gonna go into the movie EXPECTING it to be bad
This is the perfect time to bring in chad stahelski for the project
Didn't Peele already pass on Blade?
4:00 I agree I’m starting feel that too
This is crazy I wish Marvel and DC treated males black super heroes better
@@Akinwalesegun everything
@@AkinwalesegunHe is right! If I ever should create a Black superhero, I would never pitch it to Marvel or DC.
A lot of ppl forget. It wasn't actually Kevin Feige and Marvel that announced Blade in their next phase, initially, in that phase line-up. It was Ali getting his 2nd Oscar and he was asked on Stage" hey Ali if you could do anything right now what would you want to do in movies? Ali responded yo the crowd, I would want be in Marvel and play Blade. Then Ali calls out Kevin Feige and is like HEY Kevin, can we make this happen? Kevin Feige looked completely caught off guard and he just smiled and shook his head - THAT IS HOW THIS ABOMINATION STARTED 😂
Yeah, right, Ali just randomly happened to be in Hall H at Comic-con & was randomly brought on stage. Lol.
I am HOPING Marvel gets Jordan Peele to direct Blade now
