What happened in Marvel’s Blade?
Frankly, this movie has been in development hell since it was first announced at Comic-Con in 2019. Mahershala Ali announced Blade with Kevin Feige on stage.
The film went through numerous directors and reportedly had at least six screenwriters on board.
What happened there was that, just like the last five years of the MCU, the Marvel clowns who were creating the content wanted to destroy Blade and replace the character.
According to reports, Blade was to be replaced by his daughter in the MCU, which is in line with Disney and Marvel’s policy over the past five years of pushing a “message” ahead of a quality story. is.
Even industry insiders reported it, but you can tell that this is unprecedented, which means the situation for the movie was very bad.
Details announced regarding the MCU’s Blade movies include that two-time Oscar winner Mahershala Ali plans to take a backseat to female characters in his films.
Variety previously said, “The story took a turn at some point into a female-driven tale full of life lessons.” Blade was relegated to the fourth lead role, which was an odd idea considering the studio had two-time Oscar winner Ali on board. ”
It is assumed that Ali’s misstep caused all the delays. Disney has now removed Blade from its release schedule. Ali will now star in the new film Jurassic World, co-starring Scarlett Johansson.
