MCU Phase 4: 10 Ways Marvel Could Reboot Blade

10. On Their Own Streaming Service

While it could be a case of a streaming service too far, Disney have good cause to launch their own to rival Netflix and Amazon Prime. It comes at the expense of convenience, but when you have Marvel and Star Wars sitting under one roof, the prospect of not signing up sounds equally unpalatable.

And that's where (violence permitting) Blade could next set up shop. It looks as though Netflix will be unable to add more heroes to their library in the wake of that deal, and while the character seemed like a natural fit for that set-up, there's no reason why Blade couldn't be Disney's first flagship TV superhero.

Granted, it's still unclear as to what will - and won't - be permitted on Disney's new service, but given that they've dealt with dark properties since buying Marvel and later Lucasfilm too, there's little cause for concern. So while Disney might be terrifying everyone with their ludicrous industrial takeovers, the launch of their own streaming service shouldn't invoke the same response.
