1998: The original Blade movie was enough of a hit for 2 sequels. Without it, the MCU as we know it may not have existed, but we don't hold that against him.

the first fight in the first movie was ICONIC!

That whole club scene is so fucking epic. Still holds up to this DAY.

"disco bloodbath" is my favorite intro scene to any movie ever, no joke

Timeless classic!!

This was announced five years ago, but I'm sure it will start shooting any day now.

Which will come out first: The Blade reboot or The Winds of Winter?

There are rumors that TWOW may come out after HotD season 2, but I'll believe it when I see it.

How hard is it to reboot a film that was already a successful franchise?

How many directors and writers can they go through before Mahershala just drops out all together?

[sandstorm]

negl I think he may have already left. He's probably already on a TV show I bet you, JW4 just started filming and they build in reshoots and pickups.

[jontargaryen]

The contract is going to expire on its own in two years so, even if he hasn't gotten out of it already, there's only so long they can keep stringing him along. Of course, two years is a long time to continue not making a movie, but they've already done it for five.

THIS. And the fact that they can get their shit together to make Fantastic Four when it has a bad box office history just adds insult to injury.

Marvel must be pushing for a PG13 version and the results are so shit that everybody’s leaving

[genbu_no_miko24]

But that’s so funny because I think the upcoming Deadpool movie got the R-rating so I feel like if that’s successful it should give them a clue for other movies.

hope mahershala cuts his losses and runs from this project. his talent would be better spent elsewhere anyway.
