Marvel has been working on a 'Blade' movie for five years, but has made no progress, leaving fans dissatisfied with the delay [0caadd3f]. In an attempt to address the issue, an AI-generated script for a 'Blade' movie titled 'Blade: Dark Horizons' was created. The script features Blade and his assistant Abigail Whistler fighting against the vampire warlord Varnae. It includes crossover cameos from Doctor Strange, Spider-Man, Black Panther, and Captain Marvel [0caadd3f].
The AI-generated script is surprisingly solid, but it also highlights the formulaic nature of Marvel's house style. Fans believe that a new 'Blade' movie should have a unique and subversive take on the source material, something that the AI script lacks in terms of creativity and storytelling depth [0caadd3f].
The delay in making the movie may be due to Marvel cycling through creatives to find the right vision. However, fans are eager for a new 'Blade' movie that offers a fresh and innovative perspective on the character and the story [0caadd3f].
In the midst of these struggles, there are rumors that Wesley Snipes, who portrayed Blade in the 1998 Marvel film, may be returning to the character in an upcoming Marvel installment. Snipes' return could potentially involve him playing a multiverse variant of Mahershala Ali's iteration of Blade. One possible film for Snipes' return is 'Deadpool & Wolverine', which is expected to feature alternate timeline variants and surprise Marvel guests. Additionally, Snipes' Blade could make appearances in future Avengers movies, such as 'Avengers: Secret Wars', which are anticipated to conclude the multiverse storyline in the MCU [e63d1e12].
This news adds an intriguing layer to the Blade franchise, as fans eagerly anticipate the release of the upcoming Blade reboot starring Mahershala Ali. The potential collaboration between Snipes and Ali opens up exciting possibilities for the future of the character and the MCU as a whole [e63d1e12].
