Of course, at this point we don’t actually know when a Blade movie is going to come together.
Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige has admitted that the project wasn’t really born out of a specific idea, or a filmmaker’s creative approach, but instead simply Mahershala Ali’s interest in the character (to paraphrase Ghostbusters, when a two-time Oscar winner wants to take on a role in your massive big screen franchise, you say yes).
As a result, the project isn’t set up to be a part of the announced Phase Four action, and it may not even be a movie made during Phase Five – which is already projected to be filled with features like Black Panther 2, Captain Marvel 2, and potentially The Fantastic Four.
