It’s been a long time since fans have seen Blade on the big screen, but the character has been getting a lot of love lately.
Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige recently brought up Blade in an interview, and he said that he thinks it would be cool to add the character to the MCU someday.
“We think it would be cool. Someday. My tenure at Marvel started 17 years ago, and there were two things that sort of launched the modern era. One was X-Men, which was the first thing that people said, “Oh, there’s life here.” But a few years before that, there was Blade. A character nobody had heard of at all, had only appeared in a few issues of Tomb of Dracula or something, turned into a big franchise. That was always a great lesson for me, where you go, “It doesn’t matter how well known the character is, it matters how cool the movie is.” Which, many years later, would be the reason we do Guardians of the Galaxy, Doctor Strange. I think Blade is a legacy character now, and I think it would be fun to do something with him one day.”
It doesn’t look like there are plans to use the character anytime soon, but that hasn’t stopped fans from talking about who could play Blade next.
Artist BossLogic decided to use his imagination and he put together some art work showing that Jamie Foxx could look like as Blade. Check it out below.
