They should rework the Blade movie. Set it in the 70s. Give him his original costume. And end it with a flash forward to present day.

I think that would be the best option. It sets the new film apart from the Snipes version, nostalgia sells, and avoids the need for origin/introduction in the present day MCU. It's not crazy to think Blade has been fighting a secret war with vampires for several decades.

Sheen.. This is the 7th time this week we've heard "Rework the Blade movie." - Jimmy Neutron meme template

Ronenthelich2026-01-14 14:11

Tried finding it as a gif, but it’s all Charlie Sheen mental breakdowns.

SamwellBarley2026-01-14 14:32

Uhhh... Winning!

WildMongoose62062026-01-14 10:29

i would like blade to be a tv series instead of a film.

Swing-Full2026-01-14 10:32

Maybe it just doesn't need to be made

CharacterOld86912026-01-14 11:20

I would have liked a Highlander approach, show him on a quest through the centuries, maybe he’s faced Dracula and/or Lilith before.

Edboy7962026-01-14 14:20

And crossover with The Batman

idlefritz2026-01-14 12:22

I’m watching Blade right now and it holds up so well. It’s refreshing to have a superhero take himself seriously and enjoy what he does for a change. Rare to get both.

mackadoo2026-01-14 14:37

I watched the trilogy last week. The first one is kinda campy and fun, the second one has the Guillermo del Toro touch, but the third one was just not good. Proto-Deadpool Ryan Reynolds is OK but that's about it.

CaptHayfever2026-01-14 20:48

The Nightstalkers as a whole do their best to hold up Trinity, but there's only so much they can do when Snipes is phoning it in, Purcell is just awful, & all the writing/directing/design choices are atrocious.

Stormik2026-01-15 13:29

How dare you talk about Rebecca Silver like that!

ItsMeBenedickArnold2026-01-14 12:41

He was born in 1929 according to the comics so they could easily set it in the 60s/70s.

Thunder-Fist-002026-01-14 15:10

Give it to Coogler, tie it in to Sinners, profit.

NotMyFirst_LastName2026-01-14 15:45

Some of the costumes used in Sinners were originally made for the Blade movie, which was supposed to be set historically.

Thunder-Fist-002026-01-14 16:15

Interesting. I did not know that.

NotMyFirst_LastName2026-01-14 17:24

Not that you asked for sources, but I intended to include this in my post

That’s super cool. Thank you.

Let it go, it's not going to be made.

[Yup](https://youtu.be/m5utuystlTM?si=MvZfNsIkz-tdcL3g)

TheOtherBelushi2026-01-14 14:13

Pretty sure that was Sinners.

FewWatermelonlesson02026-01-14 17:08

— Person who didn’t watch Sinners

TheOtherBelushi2026-01-15 00:49

I did watch it. The rumor was that Sinners was Coogler’s pitch for Blade that didn’t take, so he went to WB to make Sinners.

FewWatermelonlesson02026-01-15 01:28

And that rumor is stupid. By Coogler’s own account Sinners was a very personal movie that he came up with out of the grief of losing his uncle, who loved blues music. There is zero credible indication it has anything to do with Blade, other than it being a vampire movie with black people in it and Ruth Carter reusing some costumes she’d designed for that production.

impuritor2026-01-14 14:28

It really shouldn’t be the most complicated movie to put together but it’s somehow eluded them.

Fawqueue2026-01-14 15:04

I think they should set it in the 1920s and make it really about his daughter. Oh wait...

FowlZone2026-01-14 15:15

why the 70's?

BarackaFlockaFlame2026-01-14 15:32

apparently it is scrapped and they're going to go for a midnight sons movie. I am totally ok with that lol

uhhhidkwhatusername2026-01-14 15:39

I genuinely cannot understand why they moved away from a period piece Blade movie. Now Sinners is a gorgeous wonderful film that should be left untouched but it's relevant because THE WARDROBE FOR BLADE GOT USED FOR SINNERS INSTEAD AND THAT MOVIE WAS DIRECTED BY THE RYAN COOGLER!

You could have an amazing, another culturally impactful, powerful movie with/about a black person the same way he did Black Panther and Sinners.

Seriously idk how they're struggling when Coogler is right there. But maybe because he's not feeling that story and character for his own style

punxtr2026-01-14 19:34

Because the lead actor didn't want it to be a period piece... Mahershala Ali said no to it. He wanted it to be modern day.

thainfamouzjay2026-01-14 16:16

I think sinners was gonna be blade but they changed it a lil bit

FewWatermelonlesson02026-01-14 17:08

No it wasn’t. It was a story Coogler had been working on for years.

PumpkinCarvingisFun2026-01-14 16:22

I think this is close to what the plan was. The costumes for "Sinners" were the unused costumes made for the Blade movie.

noodles_jd2026-01-14 16:35

So basically, the Captain America treatment?

A_Moldy_Stump2026-01-14 16:49

But WHY do we even need or want a shitty vampire movie in the MCU. What purpose does it serve for the over arching narrative?

This is why the MCU has been broken since end game. There's nothing bolting it all together. Doon is just going to show up and where supposed to accept that either another fictional country that's never been mentioned has always been there biding it's villainous time, or he comes from another universe/dimension whatever. Or his shenanigans pull about if multiversal heroes together against him, and for some reason they don't see each other as a threat at first.

Either way Blade doesn't fit into any of that

CaptHayfever2026-01-14 20:43

> another fictional country that's never been mentioned has always been there

Latveria was mentioned in First Steps.

A_Moldy_Stump2026-01-14 20:47

Right, but the F4 are from a different Earth. My point was Blade is totally irrelevant to what the MCU is currently doing. Vampires and shit aren't established. Phase 4 and 5 are chalk full of characters with stories disconnected from each other and multiverse we don't need another just got nostalgia.

Ok-Bake-35172026-01-14 17:04

Is werewolf at night set in the past? Have not seen it yet because I keep forgetting they made that show

CaptHayfever2026-01-14 20:42

It's set in 2025, so it's the past *now*, but it wasn't at the time of release.

Ok-Bake-35172026-01-14 21:06

Oh ok I seen the trailer and thought it took place in the past like 80s or even further

Real_Walk53842026-01-14 17:10

Please no more “there were heroes all along!” origin stories. It’s really played at this point.

punxtr2026-01-14 19:35

Mahershala Ali doesn't want it to be a period piece in any form.

Aromatic-Cupcake48022026-01-14 20:06

If Blade doesn’t workout first, I wouldn’t mind taking the route they did with Spider-Man and Black Panther in Civil War. Having Blade show up in the Midnight Sons and then getting his own film. Obviously the Midnight Sons would have to have some build up to it.

UnhappyShift61602026-01-14 20:35

This was my thought exactly. I posted a Reddit awhile ago saying they should just make a 70s Blade movie in the style of those 70’s movies like Shaft, Black Caesar or even the Warriors. A gritty horror movie with a Cool 70s funky soundtrack. With Blade walking the streets of Harlem and killing vampires in the subways where they hide. Make Deacon Frost a Nefarious Villain who’s killing the people in Harlem. Since it’s a 70s Harlem no one cares including the cops who some of them are on Deacon Frosts payroll. Just keep it to Blade and the story and build out from there if it becomes a hit. Man, I feel it could be done but it don’t know how Disney/Marvel fumbled the bag so horribly

jaid_skywalker852026-01-15 01:23

I would be very down for this.

BZenMojo2026-01-15 20:50

Every time someone suggests another period piece all I can think is, "So we can make a movie and then know nothing about the character or what they've been up to for decades/centuries the next time they show up?"

RyanRev7272026-01-17 19:21

Or instead of that they pick up from the eternals post credit scene and he takes kit harringtons black knight as his apprentice and teaches him/the audience about the inner workings of the underworld/supernatural side of marvel, and then hijinks ensue while they bond in a mentor/mentee way
