Ali is gonna just age out of the role with all these delays.
shareRight? He was a fantastic casting but holy shit the behind the scenes & developing of this movie has been a shitshow!
shareYeah, tell me about it. Itβs been kind of surprising how this project is the one that Marvel Studios has been having the most trouble with.
shareFor real! I get Fantastic 4 & X-Men being an issue but this one is "easy".
At least on paper. You don't need a 200+ million budget for this project. You can do it on the cheap.
Let it be "Street level" & grounded, ala Daredevil & The Punisher.
A mysterious, shady guy, who doesn't have any people skills, moves into the neighbourhood asking about & looking into recent disappearances that have been happening around Brooklyn/Harlem (pick your poison).
They always happen at night. Homicide is also up. With victims being reported as having "the blood sucked outta them".
Wait a sec, did I just pitch a Blade movie? π
Exactly, you donβt have to spend the GDP of Malawi to make a solid Blade movie.
shareI'm wondering if Marvel are having second thoughts about using the character.
shareI feel like some of it has to do with the fact that Mahershala himself has been pushing back against some of the creative choices that they've tried to make with this movie.
shareWhat were the 'creative choices'? I must have missed something.
shareI think the recent "leak" said something like, it was supposed to focus on female leads & he'd be like the fourth lead or something.
They've been other reports but I can't recall them all, sorry.
The first script he rejected apparently only had two fight scenes. Marvel is getting the wrong people to write and direct this movie.
share2 fight scenes in a fricking blade movie? C'mon!
Why not just get the guys who did the John Wick movies. One of them even made Deadpool 2.
Two fight scenes? Do these people even know who/what Blade is?? π

Movie delays and cancellations have literally happened about 10,000,000,000 times in the history of Hollywood. This one is mainly being talked about because it was going to be a black project.
That could explain why Blade kept on shifting storylines and time periods. The version that was aiming to shoot last year was set in the 1920s, according to sources, and featured Mia Goth as a vampire villain named Lilith who wanted the blood of Bladeβs daughter. (Goth remains attached to star in the project.) For another iteration, under Tariq, Marvel built a massive train set, but it was never used. (It may be passed on to a different Disney production.) The new take on Blade is said to be present day.
I wish they'd come up with a motivation for Blade's movie enemies other than they need his blood (or in this case his daughter's).
shareA Flash movie history goes back even further. They was a screenplay first written for a Flash movie 30 years ago.
