I mean at least they planted the seeds of a multiverse years ago, before the decline seriously started, so they could theoretically bring this about organically.

Pure desperation. Can you imagine the cost?

Really? The first one was a decent cop movie.
It wasn't super hero car movie until Fast 5 when they added the Rock and it devolved into Fast X.

This is one of the worst ideas I’ve ever heard.

Bob agrees. He's making them rewrite it and he nuked their budget.
Have RDJ borrow Murtaugh's semi-infamous line from the 'Lethal Weapon' movies at some point and I'm in.

Bob can’t do anything right…often the case when you have your head firmly planted between your glutes.

Comics bringing characters back from the dead? It's so common it's practically a cliche. I have no doubt this is something they keep in the back of their minds.
Some will criticize it from a creative standpoint but for this genre, it's kind of expected. Not that I love the idea of undoing what was a great finale for the Infinity War ear.
As far as costs go, yeah getting those actors back might be expensive but Endgame did make a bit of money so I think they'd be okay with it.
They can also do what X-Men did with days of future past and bring back legacy characters for briefer appearances. They didn't have to pay as much to bring people in for a few days of filming.
One person familiar with the “Blade” script changes says the story at one point morphed into a narrative led by women and filled with life lessons, with Mahershala Ali's Blade relegated to the fourth lead.
There was a script in which Blade was just a friend to the Sex in the City gals?
I don't believe it.
Though someone "familiar with the script" sounds totally reliable.
OTOH, if that script did exist, then kudos to Feige and Marvel for killing it.

Yep...social media blows. And the comments section of any news article.

What if we confirm the source was in fact a makeup artist?

This sounds like a bad game of telephone....
"the story at one point" bit indicates to me that it was more just a plot idea kicked around during writing sessions, as is the case during all script treatments.

Disney doesn't have anything playing well at the theaters right now, so we're all just rambling a bit. But...
Next week The Marvels opens with its $275 Million budget, and then we can talk about how huge its box office is and how audiences of predominantly teenage boys and young men naturally flock to inclusive stories of female empowerment.

Financial performance is an objective measurement of what, exactly? The performances of the actors? The special effects? The film overall? What about the marketing of the film? The timing of its release? The competition?

You're kind of proving my point with this: When writers on a troubled film production are throwing out rewrite ideas, at least one person (seeing everything through a particular ideology) interpreted at least one of the ideas as "a narrative led by women and filled with life lessons. Blade was relegated to the fourth lead."
And other folks (who share that same ideology) read a report like this, click on the article (the goal of the post) and read & interpret the whole thing through that same ideological lens: "Look, Disney wants to turn Blade and every Marvel film into [insert ideological boogeyman here]. We knew it!"

Just an FYI once again, ~45% of all MCU viewers are female. This was especially seen during the first Captain Marvel movie -Disney doesn't have anything playing well at the theaters right now, so we're all just rambling a bit. But...

So its not predominately male anymore (and likely never really was).
