5. David Fincher Was Supposed To Direct Blade
Writer David S. Goyer first pitched the idea of doing a Blade movie during the late 90s. The studio wanted either Wesley Snipes, Denzel Washington or Laurence Fishburne in the lead role, and the part, of course ultimately went to Snipes. It's difficult to even imagine anybody else playing badass Daywalker vampire slayer Blade. Snipes was also attached to another Marvel Comics movie to be Black Panther, a project that never came to fruition. When it came time to search for a director, the studio looked towards none other than David Fincher. He later dropped out to pursue other projects, but just dream with me for a second. That movie would have been pretty awesome, right? Am I right? Or maybe it would have been terrible, what do I know?
