MCU: Every In Development (& Rumoured) Marvel Movie & TV Show - Ranked

25. Blade

Blade Fist Pump
New Line Cinema

Status: Rumoured

Release: TBA

Blade holds a special (and oft-underrated) place in the Marvel movie oeuvre, with Wesley Snipes' take on the character crucial to the comic book boom on the big screen.

The third movie was awful, but since the MCU has grown over the last decade, there's been lots of chatter about a Blade reboot or revival. Kevin Feige has said it'd be cool, and Snipes himself has been saying he's had discussions with Marvel over various projects. The biggest hurdle for Blade - aside from removing those memories of Trinity - is that he's very much at odds with the rest of the MCU.

That's tricky - but not impossible - to overcome, and he is a great character, but again it's hard to imagine it's too high on Marvel's wish list right now. There's also a question of whether Snipes is still right for the role - his career hasn't exactly been great in recent years - or if anyone else could replace him.
