Amid Cancelation Rumors, Beau DeMayo Has a Simple Plan for the MCU’s ‘Blade’

by

As a seasoned gamer and Marvel fan with over two decades of experience under my belt, I can confidently say that the current state of Blade’s development is causing quite the stir among us enthusiasts. The rumors swirling around about Marvel potentially scrapping this highly-anticipated project have left many of us in a state of anticipation tinged with apprehension.

It’s common knowledge that the Marvel Studios project titled Blade, featuring Academy Award winner Mahershala Ali as the lead character, has generated much excitement. However, this production is in an unusual stage of development, and it remains unclear how things will unfold or when (or if) we’ll eventually get to watch Mahershala Ali’s Blade film.

Lately, industry tipster DanielRPK has spread a speculation suggesting that Marvel Studios might be considering dropping not one but two projects – “Armor Wars” and “Blade”. It’s believed that production problems are the primary cause for the potential cancellation of “Blade”, which is the focus of our discussion here.

Shortly following this rumor’s revelation, Beau DeMayo – previously a writer on X-Men ’97 – expressed his own ideas for the Blade movie on Twitter. Fans were swift to respond, and if you’re curious about his thoughts, keep reading to discover more!

The controversial filmmaker, who is currently feuding with Disney over his firing, provided us with a very controversial plan for the Blade movie, as you can see in this tweet:

As a gamer, I’d reimagine a John Wick-style action flick with a twist: Instead of mobsters, they’re bloodthirsty vampires! Instead of Keanu Reeves, let’s cast Ali (whoever that may be in the context of our game) as the protagonist. But instead of a daughter, he wields a mighty sword, and it’s not his name on the line, but the fate of the entire vampire world!

A white Blade? This idea was proposed decades ago and was immediately rejected, so we don’t know where this is coming from, but it could be a partial stab at Disney. Be that as it may, a lot of fans have reacted to this tweet, and here is what they have said:

From my perspective, you seem to have grasped every point thoroughly. It appears that they targeted you because your performance suggested potential for an outstanding series. There’s a lot of diversity and inclusivity involved, but it seems they didn’t appreciate any deviations from the original formula that worked well before.

As a gamer, I find myself yearning for the seamless connection of Marvel’s universe post Secret Wars, but it seems like an overwhelming task. It might be more feasible to achieve this interwoven narrative through their television shows instead. The limitation on number allows for a more manageable storyline, and since they span longer periods, they offer a more captivating and immersive tale-spinning experience.

Appreciate your sharing a Cliff’s Notes-style guide for rebooting Blade. Nevertheless, I’m pondering the financial implications of incorporating two-time Academy Award winner Mahershala Ali into the Marvel/Disney universe.
