I'm really looking forward to seeing what the MCU does with Blade. It seems like a long time since the announcement of Mahershala Ali in the role, and we've heard nothing about the project since. Blade deserves to be handled well - the Wesley Snipes movies really got the ball rolling as far a s putting Marvel heroes on the big screen and proved that even B or C list characters could look cool and have theatrical success if handled well, even in a Rated R film.

I wish DC would put out a Dr. Fate movie or series. A series might be better. The different hosts of Fate could be highlighted more
I'm pretty sure the upcoming Blade movie will be PG-13; only Deadpool gets to be R! But I, too, am hoping to see Blade pop up in Phase 5, even if only as a supporting character leading in to his actual feature (a al Spider-Man in Captain America: Civil War.
@jlbgriggsw: I agree; Smallville demonstrated (in its double-length episode "Absolute Justice") that Doctor Fate can be done quite well in live action. I don't think they'd highlight the different hosts, though, except to keep bringing the helmet back to Kent Nelson and/or to pass the mantle in the finale.
@JLBriggs: just so long as they don't try another Blade series. Sticky Fingaz wasn't bad in the title role. But, he'll never beat Wesley Snipes!
I wonder who vampirized her? Von Strahd of Barovia from "Ravenloft?" Or Dracula from "Castlevania?"

But Where is Petey? Is I Vampire trying to be destroyed by the Sun Yet Again? Is The Phantom Stranger going to show up to be weird and cryptic or Tearjerkingly Heartwarming? Where is a Tricycle riding Chaos Lord When You Need one, Could he actually be listening to Michael Bolton? Tune In Next Time Same STFP Time Same STFP Web address!
It's a good thing Blade is Black or he'd be recast as a "WAAAmyn" who's the "bestest evarrrrr". "...You Know It's Sad But Truuuuuue!..." - MetallicA.
The way Denzel was recast as Queen Latifah for the upcoming reboot of the old "Equalizer" series?
Denzel?? go to the original.
The Equalizer (TV Series 1985–1989) - IMDb
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088513
Sep 18, 1985 · Created by Richard Lindheim, Michael Sloan. With EDWARD WOODWARD, Keith Szarabajka, Robert Lansing, Mark Margolis. A retired Intelligence Agent turned private detective helps various threatened clients to equalize the odds.
Yep! Plus, Wm. Zabka (Daniel LaRusso's arch-enemy in the original "Karate Kid" movie) as temporarily estranged son Scott McCall.* Now, THAT was an action-adventure series!
*No relation to the lacrosse-happy Teen Wolf from MTV's bastardization of the Michael J. Fox film. Some changes really are for the worse, are't they?
