I kind of wonder if the whole production was moved back a year because they got a director that they really want but whose schedule couldn’t fit with the 2022 release

HOLYSHIT

never expected a pakistani to direct a mcu film

Remember when u got banned for that

hey i dont know what ur talkinga bout

Something something Zayn Malik

perfect casting mahershala is an incredible actor

Interesting choice I guess

Anyone who reads comics is Blade muslim or is that not disclosed?

Apparently the directors work "aims to uncover the diversity of Muslim life and experience".

Win for brown people idk if we have a huge director like that who’s done 100+ million dollar movies for a big studio machine

So is he another mcu director who has done 1 other small movie that no one has seen

Need Blade to walk around like this

Damn I’ve actually seen this before

Excited for him

I can't even express how big of a W this is, I was already in for mahershala but expectations are super high right now

Mahershala is Muslim.

He probably had influence in this guy getting the gig

Blaxploitation flick type beat

Everytime I think of blade in the light, fluffy sitcomy world of sassy finger wagging superheroes of the mcu I cringe harder, I have next to no faith this will be good as a blade movie

Soon

and how are they gonna top the opening scene of the first movie?

Blade 2

No lie blade 3 is actually quite close to how I'd envision marvel doing blade other than the profanity

S***ty weak villain? Check

Quippy side characters who are reg humans but overpowered to make it seem like they re equal to blade? Check

Forcing unneeded side characters in just to set up future movies? Check

Low stakes with next to no tension? Check

Cause blade movies are perfect
