When Doctor Strange was released in 2016, he said: “They did ask a long time ago, and I think our answer was, ‘No, we’ll do something with Blade at some point.’ That’s still the answer.”
Now Boss Logic has mocked up Star Wars actor Boyega as Blade, as though he were starring as the human-vampire hybrid in an MCU solo movie – and he looks very convincing.
However Wesley Snipes, who played Blade in a film trilogy between 1998-2004, still believes he could continue in the role.
Spider-Man Homecoming director Jon Watts, who is working on the Web Slinger’s 2019 sequel, has teased how he’d like Morbius, the Living Vampire and Blade to show up.
Speaking in 2017, Watts said: “The tone of the character is pretty dark, but the vampire/Marvel Universe thing is pretty cool.
“Maybe we could get Blade to show up, too? That’d be neat.”
However Sony Pictures have since announced they have a Morbius spin-off in the works, but there’s still hope for Blade at Marvel.
