MARVEL STUDIOS BLADE ANNOUNCEMENT - NEW OFFICIAL PLAN FOR FILM

When Blade finally comes out on Blu-ray they better have a bonus feature explaining all this drama 😂

In the last 5 years, Blade could have had two movies and at least 2 cameos and one collab project by now

Its a movie about a black, day-walking vampire who hunts other vampires, with existing storylines and lore to pull from, and they can't get it right. This is sad 😢

” some motherfuckers just like to ice-skating uphill.....“ -blade I guess this goes for marvel Studios as well. It’s not that hard to make a blade movie. It’s already been done perfectly. We just need a slight modification and in the marvel cinematic universe. How hard can that be? I’ve seen fan made movies by now that would do justice. in the words of Deadpool ; let’s fucking go

The continuous delays are getting to the point where the Blade movie will coincide with the next time the Dallas Cowboys make the Superbowl

I'm sure Ali has a line in the sand that once it's crossed, he's out.

I’m over it at this point.

On one hand, glad he’s not settling for garbage! On the other, bro could’ve crowd sourced this movie by now!!!

5 years after the announcement is crazy.

They better not come weak for Blade.

Please do Blade justice. I'd like Blade and Ghost Rider to have a simular theme.

Ali is wanting to put a good product, after the bar being set so high after it's first rendition. The marvel fatigue is real, but not because of the poor writing -- yet due to scheduling to push out as much content. Let's go back to phase one schedule setting. One or two well written movies a year is prime.

I’m not believing anything about this movie until I see an official trailer lol

I can't wait for BLADE movie

On one hand I want Blade already, on the other hand hearing that he views this as his “Black Panther” gives me some hope for the film. Mahershala wanting it to be that good at least shows that whatever Marvel has done wasn’t maybe up to code. Hopefully the new script is up to par and if any leaks come out they are pretty solid

Michael, I enjoy watching your timely Marvel Studios updates and your own analyses on developments, plot lines, etc. And while I understand your reluctance to travel down any roads that are even somewhat controversial, any discussion of Marvel's many Phase 4/5/6 problems, and especially any discussion of the problems that have mired BLADE, seems incomplete (if not intentionally omissive) if Disney's corporate DEI policies and hiring practices -- especially those which have recently come to light -- are not addressed. I'm a lifelong comics fan/reader/collector, a huge Marvel Studios fan who has great respect for the Universe they've created, not to mention a former Disney employee, and the last thing I want to happen is for the characters and franchises / IPs that Disney has the high responsibility and privilege of overseeing to be handled poorly or mismanaged to any degree. But the undeniable and obvious problems with the STAR WARS THE ACOLYTE series and those which seem to have permeated Lucasfilm for years clearly are not contained to just Skywalker Ranch. As but one example: you state in this video, given the less-than-experienced list of directors Marvel has presented Mahershala Ali with, the actor has taken the task of finding a director upon himself, and the reasons for this that you outline -- cost, wanting to have control over the director in order to create the movie by committee -- have you admitting that their actions don't really explain why Marvel Studios has gone after green directors and writers who have very little experience doing blockbuster films, and many of whom may be doing their first work on these films. While several very reputable channels on You Tube have long been talking about the ramifications of Identity Politics so endemic at Disney, the O'Keefe Media Group's just-released video with Disney Senior Vice President Michael Giordano literally confirming and specifically detailing Disney's highly discriminatory Woke business practices, especially those where it comes to hiring talent that is not qualified for the jobs they're given but who are given them for the "diversity" that they represent (by a person of color, a female, a person of a certain sexuality/gender, or someone with a disability) makes this matter something that can no longer be avoided. Marvel's biggest failures post-Endgame --- She-Hulk (Jessica Gao, showrunner), Eternals (Chloé Zhao, director), The Marvels (Nia DaCosta, director), and now Blade (former directors Bassam Tariq and Yann Demange) -- are blatantly indicative of Disney and Bob Iger's misguided and destructive political agenda. Whether Disney, Star Wars, Pixar, or especially and specifically Marvel, no one with a voice should overlook this very serious issue or pretend that it doesn't exist. It's clear, from the current The Acolyte debacle, that much mainstream media is unsurprisingly supportive of Disney, as opposed to the overwhelming majority of the fans and independent media, none of whom are beholden to Disney or whose jobs rely on favorable reviews. It's a poor, sad creator who blames their fans for the failure of their product. When I watch your updates, I truly appreciate your enthusiasm and love for Marvel Studios, both of which come across very clearly and which create the environment of true fandom and untouchable superhero fantasy which draws viewers to your channel. I want the fantasy that the Marvel Cinematic Universe has given us to remain healthy and move forward to bigger and better things as much as anyone, but there's a hard dose of reality that has directly impacted the MCU's ability to do so well, or as in the case of Blade's five-year delay, to move forward at all. I encourage you to join the discussion on this very serious matter; it's a very big part of "Everything," and more of a threat to Marvel's movie universe than HYDRA, Ultron, Thanos, Kang, Mephisto, Galactus, The Beyonder and all of their Multiversal Variants combined could ever possibly be.

Ali is smart. He’s investing into it like RBJ with iron man, HJ with Wolverine, or RR with Deadpool.

Every delay should be another million to Mr. Ali's paycheck.

Between Sony destroying Morbius and Marvel screwing up Blade, it sucks being a Midnight Sons fan.

I am happy that this movie has so much devotion to getting it right. I am surprised people are still on board because of all the delays.
