Production on the MCU's upcoming Blade reboot has been tumultuous, so Marvel Studios may turn to the past to learn some valuable lessons.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Marvel Studios already knows what will work for the upcoming Blade reboot, thanks to Marvel's previous trilogy that featured Wesley Snipes in the titular role. Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige officially announced the development of a Blade movie in the MCU at SDCC 2019, with Academy Award-winner Mahershala Ali being confirmed to be taking the lead role.
Wesley Snipes' Blade Was The Perfect Model For The MCU Close Blade's first appearance in a live-action feature film came during 1998's Blade, produced by New Line Cinema and starring Wesley Snipes as the titular vampire hunter. Blade led to a trilogy of movies, with Blade II releasing in 2002, and Blade: Trinity hitting theaters in 2004. Although the Blade trilogy had its flaws, the movies garnered a positive response from audiences, and gained a huge cult following.
Lessons Blade's 1998 Original Can Teach The MCU Reboot By looking back at 1998's Blade, Marvel Studios can learn some valuable lessons about how to make its own upcoming Blade reboot even stronger. Currently, many are worried that Blade's tumultuous production period will be reflected in a disappointing narrative and poor character development for Mahershala Ali's debut in the MCU.
Blade Grounded Its Monstrous Characters In Realism Previous depictions of vampires on screen had often been campy and unrealistic to the extreme, but 1998's Blade brought the mythical species into the real world with a huge amount of power. Grounded in the real, Blade's vampires were terrifying, but very human, and these themes should continue into Marvel Studios' upcoming Blade reboot.
