If before the situation was understandable, between complications due to Covid and strikes by screenwriters and actors, now it is almost becoming a meme: Blades continues to lose pieces and seems to have a great desire to end up like another Marvel film, which has become almost “legendary”.
We gave you a recap of everything that had happened to Blade from 2019 to today, underlining how in 5 years the situation had only gotten worseand now without even the excuse of strikes anymore.
That’s why it seems so much that Blade is doing his best to end up like Gambit, a Marvel feature film which since 2009 has had a much more troubled (and inconclusive on balance) history than the film with Mahershala Ali. Yet Blade is trying to catch up.
Do you think that the character had appeared for the first time in X-Men Origins: Wolverine with Taylor Kitsch’s face, though Channing Tatum should have played him already in previous films without succeeding. Tatum himself was then the face attached to the project (even to start a franchise on the character) starting an incredible ordeal that never led to anything.
Channing Tatum himself proposed the project to several directors without getting the OKwith others who signed on to direct it and then abandoned the film: Rupert Wyatt, Doug Liman and Gore Verbinski, with the script that kept changing and at a certain point (just in 2019) Channing Tatum himself who had proposed to direct Gambit. The film was later canceled following Disney’s acquisition of Fox, although Channing Tatum may still be ready to return.
In short, the hope is that Blade doesn’t end up like Gambit, yet the similarities are starting to become a bit too much. Even Mahershala Ali’s lawyer complained about the Blade situation.
