Blade should be a Disney+ Show

With all the difficulty they seem to be having on getting Blade “right”, I think they should make their gamble smaller by doing a small-budget Disney+ series.

This brings him in line with other Midnight Sons characters like Moon Knight, Werewolf by Night, Man Thing, and Elsa Bloodstone. I would also make Black Knight part of the Midnight Sons line-up.

Then make a Midnight Sons film where they go up against Mephisto and his herald, Ghost Rider. Redeem Ghost Rider, and end it with a tie-in to Dr Strange 3 which leans more into the horror side of the Dr Strange lore. Have Stephen lead the team, give him a mentorship arc about putting his ego aside for the good of others, and send them against a villain that brings out the worst of these “monsters” like Nightmare or Lilith.

Some quick thoughts.

This is literally what it was supposed to be. But Ali wanted a bigger stage for blade that’s why it became a movie. Speaking of midnight suns I wouldn’t mind Jordan Peele directing blade since he’s rumored to be doing something at marvel

What if he’s doing Doctor Strange?

Just making stuff up now? When was it ever supposed to be a show?

Arobat-Tim32026-01-10 13:16

it should be a special presentation

BatmanForever232026-01-10 13:29

No it absolutely shouldn't. Blade can be a massive character, and if it ever gets off the ground it deserves a much bigger release than a special presentation.

Arobat-Tim32026-01-10 13:31

yeah true I was thinking more of the format of a movie but not as long like werewolf by night

BatmanForever232026-01-10 14:59

If it's the format of a movie... just do a movie. Blade should be on the big screen, not Disney+.

I think the best thing right now is for Mahershala Ali to finally walk away. I feel like it’s become pretty clear that he’s the roadblock in all of this, not Marvel.

But it would be neat if Marvel continued to do a bunch of individual “One-Shot” Special Presentations for each Midnight Son member before leading into an actual movie.

We haven’t heard anything so long that I can’t help but think he already walked away. They probably feel there’s no point in addressing it until or if they announce a new actor.

I've been saying this for years. A 6-part miniseries would be better. Small budget, TV-MA rating.

They can't seem to come up with a worthwhile 2hr story, they definitely shouldn't be trying a 6hr one.

mediaguy12342026-01-10 13:49

At this rate we’re never gonna get blade.😭😭😭

You might be on to something.

I’m probably one of the only people who feels this way but I don’t want vampires in the MCU. It’s too much. It’s a multiverse. Make a Blade movie set in the same universe as the older movies but with a new actor, Blade isn’t meant to age like regular humans anyway. Have Blade in DP&W be another older Blade and the joke is there’s plenty of Blade’s out there just like everyone else. Build of the story of the first three movies, make no mention that one of the characters from Trinity looks like Ryan Reynolds. As with the old movies there’s no superheroes there, only Blade, humans and vampires. Maybe some weird monster hybrid shit too. But that’s it.

This doesn’t all need to be set on the earth that has our Avengers on it. It also doesn’t have to connect to anything else in any way. As soon as you say Vampires exist on the same earth as the one that we saw in Iron Man, it stretches this thing way too much. Where we the vampires before, where during? Them not being known about when they have space stations for SWORD and dimensional portals makes no sense.

The Werewolf By Night show was fun in showing werewolves and monsters, and that stuff can exist in the MCU, the Lobo Brothers would be cool to see one day. Having A vampire like character here and there is cool to, Morbius the movie sucked pun intended and not intended, but the idea of the character works. Having lord knows how many vampires in legion out there and them being there supposedly since forever? Doesn’t work in my opinion. Too much in the same universe.

I want a Blade movie. Make it in “the Blade universe”. Blade doesn’t need to be in the MCU, he just needs his space to be Blade.
