10 Awesome New Characters To Expect In MCU Phase 4

5. Blade

Now that the imminent arrival of Doctor Strange has opened up the possibility of a supernatural side to the Marvel Cinematic Universe becoming more prominent, expect Blade to be rebooted in order for him to become a part of that. The rights to the vampire hunter have reverted back to Marvel Studios since the days of Wesley Snipes being in the role and they would be foolish not to utilise him after the undoubted popularity of the original trilogy. There are a number of ways in which he could be introduced; he could be thought to be a threat and chased by S.H.I.E.L.D., he could be recruited by Doctor Strange to form the Nightstalkers or he could be part of a new Avengers roster (given that he was part of the Mighty Avengers team in the comics - albeit under the name "Ronin"). The Marvel Cinematic Universe started on Earth and remained there initially, it then branched out into space and other realms, and now it does seem as though the next stage could be set to focus on the supernatural - and Blade would absolutely have to be a part of that.
