It's... something. If not a movie, then if it's R rated, it's for Hulu.

Well, yeah, that would the consequence of announcing all the Phase 4 stuff coming out in the next two years and saying that Blade (along with Black Panther 2, Fantastic Four, Captain Marvel 2, and the mutants) will be coming out after that.

This could only mean that Marvel and Sony are continuing their relationship, as Sony is currently filming a Morbius movie starring Jared Leto.

If Mahershala Ali isn't introduced in a post-credits scene of Morbius, I'm going to be highly disappointed.

Only problem with that is Morbius isn't going be tied to the MCU, at least not yet. So unless all of a sudden Sony/Marvel announce retconning their Spiderverse to be MCU films, I wouldn't expect a Blade intro post-credits.

Great news. 6 months to find a writer though? Is that normal? Either way I dont see this coming out before 2023.

If it were to come out in the fall of 2022, they have 20 months to get it done. You think that they couldn't do that?

Wakanda Forever is slated for July 2022. Are they really going to release 2 Marvel films in the same month? Or is this a typo that should read "July 2023"?

No, Blade is going to start filming in July 2022

Some interesting news on this: both Blade and the Ta-Neishi Coates/JJ Abrams Superman are looking at getting Black directors for their films. This Hollywood Reporter article says both studios have met with potential directors (their list seems somewhat speculative, so I won't include it). https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/m...a-nehisi-coates-warner-bros-movie-1234947599/

Oh duh thanks. It pays to actually read every word rather than every other word I guess. Note to self.

So perhaps between Blade and F4 we have the July and November 2023 films.

 

[MisterPenguin]

I originally thought blade would come out in 2022, but, it's clear npw it will come out in 2023.

Might not even be 2023 since it wasn't mentioned at all in the Phase 4 teaser that ended with the F4 tease. It could be the first film of 2024. Maybe they'll drop it in black history month like Black Panther in 2018.
