I love the first two Blade films. Those are both two of my Top 5 Favorite Vampire Movies. I’d love it if a fourth Blade movie starring Wesley Snipes was announced. If there’s demand for this idea, then Marvel Studios would be foolish to not capitalize on the potential of more excitement for Blade.
I think there's a decent chance Snipes could replace Ali as the MCU Blade given the fact that they really want his daughter to be the focus in the MCU.
I was just about to say, wasn’t one of the scrapped scripts about Blade and his daughter? That could work for Snipes’s version, however, you run the risk of the Logan-like send off film being just another Logan film. How many times have we seen the trope of old grizzled man takes in young innocent girl and learn how to be a family?
When they said “There will only be one Blade” in Deadpool and Wolverine, I had a small feeling that they are hinting that Snipes will be Blade in the new Blade movie, with Mahershala Ali leaving the project
Let's get them out of the Void first, I wouldn't want a Blade send off unless he's fighting a super vampire in the city. The Void doesn't work for me visually as a setting for a Blade movie.
Remember at the end of D&W, pool asked if the TVA could get his friends out, and we saw Laura with them at the end. So it would be easy enough to get him out, and start Blade: Legacy with him in the MCU fighting vampires (Remember his universe is dead, so he can't go back there).
YES! Once I saw Deadpool & Wolverine, I had this exact thought! I think Snipes should get a fourth Blade film, Blade: Legacy. I also think Tatum's Gambit should get a Disney+ TV show. I would absolutely LOVE that!
Only problem is there are no long standing characters within the blade franchise that we connect to. Whistler or whatever his name is died in trinity. Hannibal king ain’t coming back. So it’d be a completely new cast.
True, but not exactly. Remember, Blade was in the Void because his universe is dead. So if he is rescued after D&W, he would go to Earth-10005, where D&W and Laura are. So he could fight any villain there, even one he may have killed in the past (though I think he should fight a new villain, I'm just saying both options are possible)
The most important goal should be to make quality film and I feel that if someone took this assignment very seriously we'd get a quality product, but it can also get screwed up
If Blade is rescued from the Void, into a 4th film, he would go to Earth-10005, since his universe is dead (thats why he was in the void). 10005 may have its own Blade, or someone about to become blade (M Ali). So my pitch would be bring Snipes in, have him fight some vampires and stuff, then meet Ali blade. At the end of the film, Snipes sacrifices himself, saving Ali. This gives Snipes the sendoff he deserves, and we get the Ali movie as well.
They need to just outsource Blade to 87Eleven. The situation with Ali's film has been one of the most frustrating that I've witnessed as someone who adores Snipe's run as the character. Give it to Stahelski and let him work his magic. That's it
Bring Wesley back as Blade but as a sendoff and mentor role. Let him be a version of Whistler and train the new Blade to carry on the mantle Mahershala Ali. That’s your new Blade movie that marvel can’t figure out.
For Blade I’d introduce him after Secret Wars. I reckon the mcu will get soft reboot by then F4 is established, Mutants will be coming, perfect opportunity to introduce Vampires and Blade. Clean slate for Blade.
My pitch would be: Wesley Snipes's universe is a living hell after 20 years, its basically an apocalypse. One day, while he clears a vampire base on his seatch for Dracula, he finds a man, a human, but not quite. This man, played by Maharshalla Alli, is caged and tested on. After freeing him, he tells Blade that he does not know anything about himself, and he seeks revenge on the vampires who did him all of those horrible things. Blade, understanding that the guy is hurt and broken, agrees to teach him his ways, which he seems to be a natural gift in. They then attack another Vampire base, where the other one lead to. In that base they dont find any vampires, instead they find a broken machine, that seems like a portal. Blade hides some of the sheets frightened from his understanding of them. They continue training and stumble across a note they missed, a far cry about Dracula's base. They decide to go there, as the man seeks answers, he says hes broken without them. In that base, they do find Dracula, with a much larger functioning portal. He explains, that after he caught another universe's version of Blade, and transferred his blood to himself, he is finally immune to sun. But theres nothing anymore in this universe, he should think bigger, which is why he and his Vampire army, which are on their way, are planning an attack on the multiverse. Both of them attack and defeat Dracula, and while he is on the ground, the portal starts activating, sensing that the army is close. Alli then asks Snipes for good luck in finding his universe but Snipes refuses. He starts destroying the portal panels, causing the portal to malfunction. Alli then fights him and asks him why hes doing that and Snipes answers that they should stay together, as theres finally hope to this universe, but most importantly, he is not alone anymore. Alli asks if Snipes found out to which Snipes just answers with the same "we can save this universe once and for all, there are enough men and women to do that". Alli looks at Snipes and realises the pain he suffered and still suffers from and comes to him saying:"you know what? My whole life now are just you and this universe, I might have had lives there, but I have a mentor and a world to protect now, and Im keeping it to myself" but then Dracula arises and stabs Snipes in the back and jumps through the newly coordinated portal. While Alli cries and says its his fault Snipes says:"I was selfish, and only looked forward, thats why I got stabbed in the back. You shall live your life the way it shouldve been, and hopefully in a better universe than this dying one. Come on then, Ill stop the coming armies and destroy the machine but you should jump" and as he says this he throws Alli to the portal and then starts battering the machine while the vampire armies snatch and brutally murder him. In the post credits we find out that the new coordinates of the portal where Universe 616.
I this a blade legacy movie is a great idea I also think a Tobey spider-man 4 legacy film is a smart idea for Sony because no way home did the same think for Tobey and Andrew that D&W did for Snipes and Tatum
It was so sad when he B-laid his head down one more time and blade a promise to Blade jr that they don’t have to be A-Blade of vampires anymore. It blade us all cry it was so sad. Most a-blade-ing movie in the entire FOX series
This is my issue with the multiverse saga why aren’t we getting projects set in other universes minus of course DP and W and FF like we could get this Blade movie, a Tchalla Black Panther movie, a fox x-men movie and Sam Rami’s spider man 4 and TASM 3
