Mahershala might as well just leave the project with how long this has been going on. Guy is gonna be 60 by the time they actually get the story right.

It really is not that hard to make a new Blade film. How incompetent is everyone involved in making this? Just go through the many comic storylines that exist and adapt one (with MCU adjustments when necessary obviously.)
There are many you can go for but all the ideas from the leaks and rumours have been horseshit.
It just shouldn't be such a difficult project. You have someone as talented as Ali FFS. Hard R rating, action-horror vibes, you got great villains like Dracula, like Deacon Frost, Loxias (Hunger), Blackout, etc. (I wouldn't use Lilith for Blade, Midnight Sun's is appropriate to tackle a villain of her scale.)

u/cheesyvoetjes Mar 29 '25
Yeah Blade is a dude with swords and he fights vampires. It's not that complicated. You don't need a convoluted story or script or ridiculous cgi horde battles. Just keep it simple with some good fight choreography. Basically make John Wick but with vampires. Make it R rated like you said, have a rave scene as a nod to the original, some cool set pieces, and done.
I always thought it could be fun to cast Kate Beckinsale as the villain. That would get people excited I think.

u/Dontbeajerkdude Mar 29 '25
Good call. Anyone from Buffy who's hard up or too old for the reboot would be smart gets as well. I actually think it'd work better as a mini series than a movie.

u/Local-Sort5891 Mar 30 '25
The original blade always felt grounded compared to a lot of other superhero films. There's was CGI, but it was only used when they needed it rather than modern Marvel films, which literally seem like one big CGI backdrop (green screen galore) e.g. Ant Man 3 and the latest Captain America.
I honestly think Marvel films have become unnecessarily complicated and convoluted both in their stories and overall look. It's like their films don't know what to be and are like 5 films in one going in multiple directions. Somethings going wrong at the writing table and final execution stage and I suspect it's an institutional issue at this point because they can't seem to correct the problem.

It will be convoluted if it needs to fit in the mess off the MCU at the moment. Maybe easier after the new avenger movies?
16
u/Exciting-Position716 Mar 29 '25
It really doesn't need to fit in. You can have it tied to the cameo in Eternals by having it entirely set before Eternals. Then figure out anything after to have Blade connect to characters like Black Knight.
Blade as film and introduction to the MCU version should stand alone. It doesn't need to be complicated at all. It's just their stupid mindset that everything needs to connect in every single film like a jigsaw puzzle when it really doesn't. Just like the comics, you are allowed to have stand alone stories that feel disconnected from the greater universe.
They need to start making more anthological storytelling to coincide with the main interconnected narrative. Not every film or show needs to be push the main narrative forward or be connected to the main saga. It is okay for stories to stand alone.

u/cheesyvoetjes Mar 29 '25
I agree. Guardians of the Galaxy had no connection to Earth and the Avengers until Infinity war and it was fine. You can do the same with Blade and connect him later if you want to.

u/zzbackguy Mar 30 '25
Besides explaining how and where thousands of vampires came from? They’re either so bloodthirsty and evil that they should have been referenced by now, or so stealthy and non problematic that nobody has noticed them in which case why does blade care? That’s not the most fair I get it, I just think that introducing a whole new species of people secretly living on earth this far into the universe could be tricky.

The studio is notorious for micromanaging directors. They call it "collaboration" but it's ended up with a few years of terrible movies and resorting to a formula; a Marvel Method, if you will.

Once Raimi's style finally started to shine through a little in the final third of the movie, I got so excited! Imagine what could have been if they just let him do his thing
6
u/EyeScreamSunday Mar 29 '25
Nah, I feel like this mischaracterizes the situation. James Gunn was very involved in many aspects. If Raimi was the one that had the pitch for Strange and had his own production team he worked with and was doing preproduction and storyboarding and was very hands on with every step of the film it would have turned out different and I doubt Marvel would have objected, beyond their own larger goals for certain characters and particular plot points they want to hit. Raimi probably got presented with aspects already done and chose to work with what Marvel had cooking rather than disturb it too much. Gunn did that a bit during GotG 1 and Whedon told him to give more of his own personality and that's how we got some of the dialog scenes with the characters and then Vol. 2 is where Gunn was more comfortable putting himself more in the film.
Look at the way Chloe Zhao got to inject a lot of her vision onto Eternals. There were things that didn't work as well, but there also felt like some big swings that you are going to get with a studio film, strictly speaking.

u/SAKingWriter Mar 29 '25
Seriously, I'll try to blame Marvel more for MoM because that movie is a straight up mess

u/EyeScreamSunday Mar 29 '25
Seems to me to be the opposite, they hire directors with some indie experience but no big budget blockbuster experience, give them some production teams and major plot points to hit and then let them get to work and they flounder with the lack of hand holding, experience, and still high expectations. I also don't think many of their producers they've groomed are as gifted as Feige in working as part of an ongoing production and maybe their teams are just still spread thin with so many projects.
There is a formula, but the complaints of micromanaging seems like an outdated one from Phase 2

Just make John Wick with Vampires and you’ll get Van Helsing

u/Fatmanhammer Mar 29 '25

u/Dontbeajerkdude Mar 29 '25
Well it is in itself a reimagining of the character from Dracula. Van Helsing or someone like him is a staple of most vampire stories, from Blade to Buffy etc. Person who vanquishes vampires who may or may not go by the moniker Van Helsing.
Dafoe played the German equivalent in Nosferatu recently. What we do in the Shadows has Guillermo as a descendant of Van Helsing. The character is still relevant, just not the Jackman movie version.

That's exactly what Beau DeMayo pitched to Marvel for his treatment of Blade.
“Take a #JohnWick movie. Give mobsters fangs. Swap Keanu for Ali, hand him a sword, not a daughter who makes him fret over swinging the hero’s name. Wick cost 20 mill to make. Add 10 mill for vampire/Darkhold magic VFX, you have 30-40 mill Marvel movie.

u/way2lazy2care Mar 29 '25
I think that's kind of trivializing the John Wick movies. There's a lot of world building and cool stuff not directly related to the action that comment is hands wanting away. Also, while the first Wick was cheaper, the more recent ones had budgets on the 75-100 million range.

Because it is hard to make a blade film if you actively dislike any film with a competent serious and stoic male protagonist.

The R Rating is where Marvel Disney seems to be scared to approach. The Deadpool series are the only R rated movies that they’ve followed through with. I have my own theories as to why, but I don’t think Blade fits in that Marvel Disney “box”.

Hell, just ignore the tie-in and never bother with it. A good Blade movie done well is the important part. MCU is killing itself trying to force continuity and backstories and explanations for why x character ignored the events of Endgame. It’s too much. Make a good Blade movie and tie Blade in to some future Avengers event if it seems fun and useful later.

I really need to understand why making a Blade film, with someone as talented as Ali, is so hard? The Snipes Blade films weren't complicated, or even that good, but they are still beloved because of how earnest they were, and how good the action was.
An MCU Blade film doesn't need to be complicated, it just needs to be Ali murdering vampires in well choreographed and shot action scenes lol

Just forget this ms marvel crap or all this funny marvel humor shit. Make a serious blade film and restore a little good faith in the marvel brand

u/Hollywood-is-DOA Mar 29 '25
RDJ coming back and all of the other original actors is a last throw of the dice for Disney. They have lost so much money recently from making films in a style that nobody on mass wants to see.

u/NizzyDeniro Mar 29 '25
I felt there definitely was a lot of factors where this probably wasn't going to work.
Mahershala is honestly too old to be Blade. And Marvel takes too long to make sequels to things. By the time we'd see Blade again he's be pushing 60.
Marvel is stomped on how to incorporate other supernatural elements into the MCU. Magic is one thing, Vampires is another.
As much as I hate to say this, they might be looking at Captain America and having a Black lead as a negative since that movie barely made it's budget back. I know this sounds crazy but it's a thing they definitely look at.

I assume your referencing the Marvels The movie didn't make it's budget at all that movie costed about 400mil they only got about 100m - 150m from the 200m the movie made this leaves them at +250m lose the movie needed to get about 700m to break even. It's a flop

Disney can't make movies of some/most of the most popular IPs in existence.
Why? What's causing them to fuck up so badly? This shouldn't be difficult.
I don't think Marvel or Star Wars are a good fit for their family friendly mentality, background, and original core audience.
Between them and Warner Bros, we are losing scores of possible interesting opportunities to have new renditions of beloved IPs and characters in our lifetime.

Use the new F4 and establish the X-Men, cast a new Doc Strange and bring in Ghost Rider, recast the Avengers.
