10 Thrilling Predictions For Blade In The Marvel Cinematic Universe
2. Blade Will Appear In Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness
A Blade solo film has not been announced for the MCU’s upcoming Phase Four slate, but the vampire hunter should be introduced in this Phase before having a full solo adventure in Phase Five. Doctor Strange and Blade have worked together in the comics to combat supernatural threats, serving as members of the Midnight Sons and teaming up to destroy all vampires by using a spell known as the Montesi Formula. Therefore, Mahershala Ali should debut in the upcoming Doctor Strange sequel, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
As indicated by the title, the new Doctor Strange film will introduce the multiverse to the MCU. When introducing this concept to audiences, the film should use footage from the original films to show that the original Blade trilogy took place in an alternate universe. Treating fans to a glance of Wesley Snipes is a fun way to recognize the lasting impact of the Blade trilogy as the progenitor of the modern Marvel film.
Nightmare, ruler of the Dream Dimension, is the rumored villain of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Doctor Strange will need to recruit aid from across the multiverse to defeat Nightmare and Blade’s intelligence and fighting prowess makes him a clear choice for the team. The fallout from this battle will result in Blade’s reality being merged with the current MCU and provide the MCU's vampire origin story.
