Marvel has embarked on the new phase of its MCU. The big bad is there, the films follow one another, and other superheroes will also enter the dance shortly. Only then, some films have some problems, in particular one which finds itself once again on stand by.
Director problem, conflicts, controversies… Marvel studios have been jostled by several cases for a few months and some have upset the plans of Kevin Feige and the House of Ideas. While he had already drawn the outline of his phases 5 and 6, the latter could well be upset soon. Again, it’s one movie in particular that’s the problem, a certain long-toothed vampire.
Marvel is struggling with its MCU sequel
Yes, it’s once again Blade who is in turmoil. After being pushed back several times, criticized by its favorite actor and finding itself without a director, the feature film never ends. This time, it’s the scriptwriters’ strike that puts big spokes in the wheels of the film. While a new writer arrived recently, the latter is already on strike. Without a screenwriter, the film simply cannot exist. The fears of the industry are confirmed, the general strike is already beginning to hinder the work of the big productions in progress. It’s official, Blade is still at a standstill.
Originally scheduled for the end of 2023, the film was finally postponed several times until 2024. Now it is completely on stand-by and its future is uncertain. Difficult to know what will happen to him and what place he will have in the MCU. Since if it is currently on hiatus, the other Marvel projects are progressing or are not affected. Which further suggests that Blade will have little or no impact on the Phase 5 and 6 story arc.
Actor Mahershala Ali (Green Book, True Detective) who must play the role of the superhero, has not yet spoken on the subject, but his reaction is expected. So far, he has always had a loose tongue when it comes to openly criticizing the feature film and the way it is managed. Yes, he does not hesitate to bare his fangs.
Blade is in the sauce, what’s next?
What will become of the film Blade ? Good question. Nobody really seems to be able to answer it, but things are off to a bad start. For now, these are Guardians of the Galaxy who are in the spotlight with an ultimate adventure currently in cinemas. Ant Man 3 as for him has already made his show and has not convinced. At the end of the year, it’s the superheroines of The Marvels who will go on stage to take over. Worn by the trio Brie Larson, Teyonah Parris and Iman Vellani. Many other Marvel movies are expected as Fantastic Four, Deadpool 3 or Captain America 4. Everything will end in apotheosis with two big films Avengers already considered the greatest and most ambitious films in the history of cinema. Just that.
