I read it - I just find it unpersuasive in support of your “no reason for pessimism” approach.

This production has a lot working against it. It now has to find another director, its third. It’s had a half dozen scriptwriters. The next director would seemingly want more input on the story, leading to further delays, or will be a hired gun type that’ll shoot what’s been approved.

There are few films that have gone through such a production process and have 1) actually been made, or 2) actually turned out good.

Why are you saying this? It's so weird.

There's no *could* think some sort of problem as *possible*...

The film was to start production in fall 2022, lost a huge creative force, then got delayed due to strikes, and has now lost rhe replacement creative force. Those arent *possible* problems. They've happened.

Feige calls out how Blade isn't killed, but has had... troubles.

Troubles lead to more delays, and thus being taken off the theatrical schedule. Especially when the CEO says to cut back on Marvel movies.

Could Blade be dead? (pun intended) Sure.

Should one jump to that conclusion? Sure, if you can get rubes to click on your bait.

But if one is not a rube, then one can't conclude that Blade is no more.

Namecalling from our resident polar waddler aside, drinker's video highlighting the insane amount of people who were attached and then left the production reveals once again the utter chaos many recent Disney productions find themselves in.

Looking at things objectively, he's a lot more right than wrong on this one. He was pretty spot on with his Rey movie video a couple weeks back too. And it sure is looking like he's going to be right about the Rey film. You have to take all YouTubers, no matter the side, one video at a time.

Kevin Feige Delivers Updates on Blade, Scarlet Witchʼs Future, and When Miles Morales Will Be Introduced to the MCU - IGN

Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige has given a number of somewhat vague but tantalizing updates on various M.I.A. MCU projects and characters at D23 Brazil, including Blade, Scarlet Witch, Miles Morales, and the X-Men.

"We're committed to Blade,” Feige said. “We love the character, we love Mahershala's version of him. And rest assured: whenever we change direction with a project, or are still trying to figure out how it fits into our schedule, we let the public know. You're up to date on what's going on. But I can tell you that the character will be coming to the MCU.”

I don't know if this specific movie is cancelled or not, but its clear they want to bring Blade into the MCU in some way. So whether its this movie, a D+ show, or bringing him into another movie, its clear they are moving forward with the character with Mahershala playing him. Its just a matter of when it happens.

Hopefully we'll see it sooner rather than later.

I agree. The only thing I'm not confident with is it being Mahershala playing him. It wouldn't surprise me if it takes another few years to start, he walks away.

They keep hiring inexperienced writers or writers whose past work isn't well suited to horror/vampires. He may only want to focus on making his own original content, but I'd love to see someone like Jordan Peele write and direct a Blade movie.

After watching Mahershala is many roles over the years I think he has what it takes for the role.

If it does come to pass that he ends up walking away due to not being able to get the project to move forward I think it'll be a loss.
