While blade didn't have a direct connection to the MCU, he definitely helped show that a comic book movie can be faithful to the source material and not make a joke of itself and financially successful at the same time which was a huge step in after the later 90s Batman movies nearly killed superhero movies...add in that a black superhero was so successful and you have to give props.
A blade and deadpool crossover would be dope.
He hires wade to help with a new army of blood suckers, the comic value of both of them would be GOAT.

Again,
"Blade" wasn't made by Marvel, it was made by New Line Cinema. Marvel didn't even get the cinematic rights to Blade back until 2012.

Again,
Marvel didn't even have the cinematic rights to Ironman back until 2005. And, like I said, they didn't get the Blade rights back until 2012.
So no, I have no idea what Stan Lee is talking about.

gotdayumshiiet , bring back Jessica Biel as well
i think she slimmed down a bit too much and lost it tho

this is accepted in the community......
shiiet , bring back Jessica Biel as well
she would have to be an all new character, because she cant be whistlers daughter, that role is tainted
it would be worth it if reynolds shyts on his hannibal king character most of the time like he does green lantern
If you want to argue it re-established comic movies as a viable genre
cool but cats are in here talking about it's responsible for the MCU when #1 Marvel didn't own the rights to it and #2 there was several successful comic movies between "Blade" and the MCU starting. shyt makes no sense whatsoever.Fred.
im not them cats, i echoed what is reality. blade flopping would've pushed ironman's release past 2008. this whole universe would've been stalled, BP may not have even happened....

I'm all for a blade movie but not necessarily for a movie starring blade's made-up daughter taking the reigns from her grumpy
dad. (Yea they tried to make it into a comic 3 years ago but it never got passed the sketches). We'll see what other news comes from this before jumpin the gun tho. But if it came down to that or recasting Blade as a young breh to be *the* lead, i'd rather they recast just like they will with hugh jackman and every iteration of batman.. or just use some of that de-aging tech on Wesley. He don't need much of it
That's not reality. The fukk?
"Blade" came out in 1998. Marvel didn't own the cinematic rights until 2012. So it's success or failure had no bearing on the MCU at all.
Let's say "Blade" flopped. "X-Men" was green lit (with Bryan Singer attached as director) since 1996. So it was happening regardless.
Anyway, "X-Men" came out, did $296 million.
"Spider-Man" comes out, does $821 million.
"X2" comes out, does $421 million.
"Hulk" came out, did $245 million.
"Spider-Man 2" comes out, does $781 million.
"X-Men: Last Stand" came out, did $459 million.
etc etc etc.
Comic movies would exist as a genre with or without "Blade".
So yeah....what reality are you in, where the MCU specifically....let alone comic movies in their entirety....is based solely on the success or failure of "Blade"?

To me, my board!
no Blade.. and you really think you get this whole marvel movie renaissance in the early 2000s leading to Iron Man
Blade made $70 million, Marvel only saw $25,000. I mean you can say Blade made comic book movies popular again (which I disagree with cause it was never really marketed as a comic book movie), but I don't think it's accurate to claim the MCU exists because of Blade.
If anything, it's the success of Spider-Man and X-Men and the fact that Marvel saw so little of their profits that pushed Marvel to create the MCU.
