My problem with Blade being a main MCU film, instead of on TV, is that Blade is one of those characters that requires an R-rating (like the Punisher).

Are they willing to do that with one of their major movies? Will it be under the Fox label? I doubt it.

I like the actor they got, though. I wonder if he'll be British, like in the comics.

The best Luke Cage villain.

I don't think phases actually mean much beyond the basic organizing structure at the planning stage. Phase 1 was the Avengers. Proving there was value in doing this stuff as a cinematic universe. Sure, that all needed to be a conceptual unit.

But there's really nothing about Phases 2 and 3 that make them all that distinct from each other. Maybe Phase 2 can be seen as a "holy shit" scramble when they realized they've got to keep the machine turning and plan for something bigger, and Phase 3 is when they actually had a plan for Thanos and moved toward it.

If it helps Marvel Studios keep it all structured and gives us all some shorthand to keep the MCU from feeling too scattered, then fine. But let's not get too fixated.

I expect a Spidey movie to be in the mix in this phase as well even though they havent announced it yet. They didnt announce anything for July 2021 and I imagine that will be the slot for that.

Funny that it took over a decade since the last film for Blade to be rebooted, the film that kicked off the superhero movie boom, but Spiderman got 3 reboots and the X Men got so many reboot/sequels/requels

@dracula - I think it was a combination of Blade and X-Men that kicked off the superhero movie craze.

Remember, Blade was so obscure back in the 90's that almost no one even knew it was a Marvel movie except comic fans. I didn't know a single person that knew it was a Marvel character when I told them.

And they did nothing to advertise it as a comic movie. When Blade was in theatres and its first run on VHS the movie itself didn't even say "Based on the Marvel Comics character" in the opening credits. You had to wait until the end of the end credits to see that. And since End Credit Scenes weren't a thing back then, no one saw that.

But it is very possible that everyone at Fox and Marvel knew it was a Marvel movie and when they saw the success of it decided to move forward with X-Men. Because if an extremely obscure comic character can do so well, what could their most popular product at the time do?

When X-Men came out everyone knew they were Marvel characters. So that's what really got the general audience thirsty for comic movies.

Pretty much confirms that 2023 is BP2, Guardians 3* and Captain Marvel 2 with Blade either kicking off 2023 or moving one of the 2022 movies back a year.

Feige is truly a madman

* It cannot be overstated how much the Gunn firing messed up the rhythm of what they had worked out at least initially. If GOTG3 was next year we're definitely looking at a different outlook on the size and scale of Phase 4 as well as potentially another slot for an Ant Man/Wasp film in 2023
