I would love a decent fourth, especially if they tied it into the MCU. Imagine if Blade was that one superhero that Fury can't/won't recruit because he's too out of control, even compared to Banner!

 

[Rentahamster]

I don't think I'd want Blade in the MCU. It wouldn't fit. More stuff like the first and second please.

 

[Discotheque]

Keep Triple H out tubby, he's no Batista.

yuck. surely you don't believe this.

unless you're talking about movies...but still you might be wrong

 

[Odoul]

Blade movies are overrated. They have none of the wit that is the trademark of the MCU.

I think Marvel would be just fine with a little less "wit" in their flicks.

Eh..Wut? The Guardians intro & the Mandarin reveal really aint comparable.

 

[BigJonsson]

Whoa

 

[number11]

It's funny how I have no problem with magic and aliens in the MCU.. But the thought of vampires in the same universe is slightly weird to me.

 

[Odoul]

Eh..Wut? The Guardians intro & the Mandarin reveal really aint comparable.

Couldn't find an ending gif.

Fair point though. No problem with it at the beginning, Has no place in a climax.

 

[Unbound By Death]

Michael Jai White has the charisma to pull off Blade outside of fighting, just give him the material.

Blade is in no way "too complex" for White.

And who cares if he doesn't look as close to Blade as Snipes? He's close enough and has the most important requirements checked off.

MJW would be a nice very fit and agile Blade. He also can pull off the badass easily.

But damn i think Snipes is very integrated to the role in peoples minds so its hard to let go.

it was a dance off bro!

Del Toro's commentary on Blade 2 is a must listen. It is hilarious, showing his enthusiasm for the Blade universe, while ripping his own film to pieces sometimes. There is a whole bit about putting a wig on the bald vampire but it was rejected because he looked too much like Michael Bolton.

I think I remember vaginas being mentioned a lot in this commentary.

Would love another Guillermo Blade.

 

[Busty]

I don't know, Marvel just made Guardians of the Fuckin' Galaxy into a huge blockbuster. They are on a roll and not afraid to take risks. I could see them very much doing a new R rated Blade to diversify their lineup so to speak.

I know I'd be impressed as all hell if they even had the stones to try it.

Disney's Marvel label will never, I repeat NEVER, do an R rated film.

Ever.

 

[charsace]

Wouldn't surprise me if it was MCU seeing as how Blade is an Avenger.

 

[Slayven]

Speaking of Blade, where is he comic book wise? I haven't heard a peep about his character in forever?

He wanted to kill Jubilee, and that's about it. He hasn't been majorly used in a long time.

Wrong, he is the Mighty Avengers. Being married and shit.

They just did a flash back to the 70s with him and Luke Cage's father.

 

[DeathyBoy]

Given Blade's done absolute fuck all in Marvel Comics for decades, I have to assume him being promoted in an Avengers comic suggests an MCU version is a distinct possibility. Maybe as a Netflix TV series.

 

[Trojan X]

Blade 3 was a piece of crap & Wesley Snipes knew it.
I don't think anyone can blame him when he was working with such a bad script & with b-level director & co-actors.

Yup. Wesley hated everything about Blade Trinity and it clearly showed on camera. It was THAT Bad. ha! He even made Dracula look like a laughing stock!

Well one of the things about Mighty Avengers is it's almost all black heroes, so Blade is an obvious choice. It's not like he's being pushed in the main Avengers or New Avengers books, which are the really big ones.

 

[Rayven_king]

Wouldn't mind a team movie with some of Marvel's darker horror based or oddball characters that I like. If they don't think they can stand on their own that is. GhostRider, Man-Thing, Blade, Morbius...Howard the Duck maybe?

I could go for a blade& ghostrider buddy horror action flick

 

[SJRB]

Just get Del Toro back and we're a-okay. Blade II was gritty, had great lore, cool characters, awesome action [shit CG sequence aside], cool visuals and a badass soundtrack. Plus, Del Toro means Ron Pearlman will be in it again in some way, which is always a plus.

I against I, son.

He was in Mi:13 for a good while

 

[Arkos]

1 is on one of the Cinemax channels atm. OMAX? Is that Outer Max? So good. Has Stephen Dorff ever done anything remotely this good?

 

[foxuzamaki]

YES, He's good for one more man, let him do it!

Lol right? That's all I could think of. I must watch 2 now. The ending is so great

blue marvel got one as a consolation prize for forced retirement

 

[foxuzamaki]

Well damn

 

[Deleted member 325805]

We need this, he needs this, make it happen.

 

[Slayven]

English royalty too. But her family has a bad habit of turning into vampires.

I still laugh at that.

 

[Cynar]

Blade is a marvel property. It fits. All of Marvel fits in its own universe.

 

[Cetra]

God yes. More Blade is never a bad idea. Count me on Team del Toro. I loved Blade II. The Vampire Mutants were interesting, looked insanely creepy and the action was fantastic. The sewer scene is worth watching the flick for alone.

 

[DaSorcerer7]

Plz happen.

 

[AdventureRacing]

Blade 1 and 2 are both fantastic films, blade 1 in particular is one of my all time favorite action films. Can't say i'm all that excited for a new one though.

 

[T.M. MacReady]

Blade 2 was so fucking good. I'd be on board for more.

 

[Nameless]

So, will they concoct some BS explanation for Blade aging or pretend it hasn't happened? Or does he age? Not that familar with the source material, tbh

He ages like normal people.

 

[Jagernaut]

Trinity was absolutely horrendous but had Triple H and for Dracula we had Sexy Michael Scott so it ain't all bad

Also I don't see anyone in here asking for Bokeem Woodbine to reprise his role from the TV show Blade

That wasn't Bokeem Woodbine, it was Sticky Fingaz from the rap group Onyx. I liked the Blade tv series.

Bookeem was in the show. Just not as blade

The release of Blade 2 is propably one of the most memorable for me.

I had tickets for the double feature and went to see it with a couple of friends. We were stoked, since we hadn't seen Blade 1 in cinema before. We were around 16 years old and had picked a cinema were they didn't really give a shit about your age.
In Germany you mustn't see movies that are rated 18 from the FSK when you are younger, so we chose with care.

Arriving at the cinema it was no problem to get the cards, but there was an extra guy at the entrance of the theater who was controlling the people and the tickets one more time.
A week or a few weeks ago there was a school massacre over in the states and German media went on a witch hunt for games and movies like they do every once in a while.

The thing is: Controls for movies went through the roof, because the government cranked up the unexpected visits and controls in theaters.
We didn't get into the movie and traded the tickets for.. Panic Room. Good movie, but the opposite of what we wanted to see at that moment. Even better: Panic Room starts relatively silent and adjacent to our theater there was the blade one showing and we could hear the soundtrack of the amazing Blade 1 intro. Worst night at the movies for me.

 

[BattleMonkey]

Does Blade fight or hunt other things than Vampires?

I remember saying exactly the same thing when I saw it with my friends.
