Movies: Marvel Cinematic Universe Discussion - Part 4

For those following the bouncing ball of the state of the Blade movie. While some people believe it is not dead. The music guy, the costume person and other back room people have all now come out and said they have have been released from their contracts.

I am not saying that there wont be a Blade movie again--but it has been kicked WAAAAY down the block now in the development at marvel and it is now back to square one.

And I admit, seeing Blade set in the 1920's? that would have been interesting. Ali has confirmed he is still attached to Marvel and hopes to do a Blade movie but the problem I see it calls for 3 movies over either 6 or 8 years depending on who you want to believe. Blade is not suppose to be a one and done movie.

Here is the problem I see with Mahershala Ali and his Blade is that Ali is a great actor and in high demand. He has just turned 51 and all indication are it maybe up 4 to 5 years before we see the next Blade movie and it is suppose to be a at least a 3 segment movie over 6 or 8 years. Meaning he could be in his mid 60 by the time the last movie comes out.

As I posted previously, I can see Ali being moved into the Black Panther franchise or something else where he is a larger role.

and yes here are the links for people linked to the project that have left( Now that the embargo has been lifted things are being reported)

I am curious to know if it was the 1920's setting that turned off Marvel from the movie?

I read somewhere that there's a feeling Blade might be better suited for the post-Secret Wars phase/era.

I don't see Ali being in the Black Panther franchise. He's definitely not going to be the new T'Challa as it seems they're going with an alternate universe grown up version of his son. I don't quite know what else would do there or even want to do there.

At this point it's just funny to me.

I kinda want Marvel to keep treating Blade like Jimmy Kimmel treats Matt Damon. As a bit.

I thought that they’ve reduced content to streamline to the multiverse saga since they admitted they’ve stretched things out too much.

Seems like a Blade movie would happen post Secret Wars
 
After the original trilogy, I don't have much interest in a Blade solo franchise again.
However, I'd be interested if they took a bunch of their supernatural IP like Blade, Werewolf by Night, Morbius and Moon Knight a dumped them in a movie similar to League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.
 
One of Jeff Sneider's sources sent him the supposedly full cast list of Avengers: Doomsday. He's not sure how true it is but interesting list:

Not sure if anyone posted this but they wanted to do a season 2 of Hawkeye but Renner said no as the bean counters offered him half the pay

I look at it 2 ways.
First, is if they are doing S2, it means S1 did well enough to warrant a S2. So, pay should be matching S1 or better at first glance. Second, it then comes down to screen time. Is this a transition from Clint to Kate for the mantle or would Clint still have close to the same amount of screen time as S1? If yes, he should be paid accordingly. If not and he's down to half of S1, then I can understand the pay cut. But, doesn't sound like the final script is ready so don't know for sure.

But, Marvel needs to be prepared to pay Renner if their script includes a lot of his character and not lowball him.

If they want Renner then they should pay him appropriately.

Personally, I can do without him. His version of Hawkeye has never been that interesting and was an awkward fit in season 1 where they tried to kinda do the great Matt Fraction series but with the MCU/Renner Hawkeye which isn't really like the Fraction Hawkeye.

I'd rather just move on and see a new Kate Bishop series.

Vision Quest continues to expand its cast of cybernetic characters and is set to introduce a version of Jocasta. The character has been cast but the identity of the actress is being kept under wraps.

Vision Quest is currently shooting in London and is expected to wrap filming in June of this year. The series was created by Terry Matalas who is also showrunning, producing, and directing. Paul Bettany returns as the titular character and is joined by returning Marvel actors, James Spader as Ultron and Faran Tahir as Raza. Ruaridh Mollica and Todd Stashwick have also been cast in undisclosed roles.

Terry Matalas being involved is a good. Did a fantastic job with Picard season 3.
 
Doomsday and Secret Wars releases delayed from May to December of the respective years. Also, Jeff Sneider says Marvel is currently castin for Ghost Rider for Avengers: Doomsday.
