Blade Is Still “Coming Soon” — We Don’t Believe You - Error Code Show

WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.139
Studios skipped Blade entirely in their San Diego

00:00:05.139 --> 00:00:08.759
Comic -Con 2025 presentation. Even though the

00:00:08.759 --> 00:00:12.419
film was long expected to appear this year, despite

00:00:12.419 --> 00:00:17.300
being announced back in 2019, its absence this

00:00:17.300 --> 00:00:19.460
year suggests an ongoing behind -the -scenes

00:00:19.460 --> 00:00:23.280
issue. Blade had originally gotten a release

00:00:23.280 --> 00:00:27.620
date of November 7, 2025. Slotting into phase

00:00:27.620 --> 00:00:31.879
6 of the MCU, but in October 2024 Disney pulled

00:00:31.879 --> 00:00:36.140
off the release Replacing it with the predator

00:00:36.140 --> 00:00:40.899
badlands slot Since the announcement multiple

00:00:40.899 --> 00:00:44.880
directors have came and gone on this I don't

00:00:44.880 --> 00:00:48.340
know journey with us The project has also seen

00:00:48.340 --> 00:00:52.039
a lot of script rewrites But it appears that

00:00:52.039 --> 00:00:54.579
we don't have a finalized creative direction

00:00:54.579 --> 00:01:00.079
yet In a surprising turn of events, so costume

00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:05.180
designer Ruth E. Carter repurposed the 1920s

00:01:05.180 --> 00:01:08.859
period costumes originally designed for the Blade

00:01:08.859 --> 00:01:14.640
movie for the actual centers movie that came

00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:17.359
out this year. And she did that. That's kind

00:01:17.359 --> 00:01:19.019
of that's kind of interesting. A little weird

00:01:19.019 --> 00:01:21.439
fact there. Maybe that'll win you some trivia

00:01:21.439 --> 00:01:27.859
points at the bar later. Now, Marvel repeatedly

00:01:27.859 --> 00:01:32.200
sold and ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba

00:01:58.040 --> 00:02:02.719
what I'm gonna say a Couple things one. I love

00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:06.659
Mahershal Ali Okay, that is a talented talented

00:02:06.659 --> 00:02:09.280
man right there and I don't I can't think of

00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:11.199
any projects I've I've watched that I didn't

00:02:11.199 --> 00:02:14.419
like him in number one Number two. I love blade.

00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:16.979
All right that opening scene from the original

00:02:16.979 --> 00:02:20.639
blade movie is Bloody and I mean bloody iconic.

00:02:21.139 --> 00:02:27.340
Okay, cuz bloods literally kind of nice I I absolutely

00:02:27.340 --> 00:02:28.900
was hoping they were gonna get played into the

00:02:28.900 --> 00:02:31.280
MCU Okay, they announced this thing like you

00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:34.219
mentioned six years ago when Mahershala Ali was

00:02:34.219 --> 00:02:43.099
45 He is now 51 years old 51 years old I believe

00:02:43.099 --> 00:02:46.039
that Mahershala Ali would rocket his blade as

00:02:46.039 --> 00:02:51.639
the chat is so aptly pointing out but but He's

00:02:51.639 --> 00:02:54.740
51. How long is he gonna play blade for? The

00:02:54.740 --> 00:02:57.039
movie I think they haven't started filming yet.

00:02:57.340 --> 00:03:03.099
Okay, and so unless they start Filming before

00:03:03.099 --> 00:03:06.400
February he's gonna be 52 when they start filming

00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:09.800
blade at least So do I think this movie's coming?

00:03:10.319 --> 00:03:13.219
No Kevin Feige insists that it is Marvel insists

00:03:13.219 --> 00:03:19.620
that it is I I just don't Yeah, I I don't know

00:03:19.620 --> 00:03:25.539
I kind of believe like The Henry Cavill project

00:03:25.539 --> 00:03:29.379
is actually further along than this one the Not

00:03:29.379 --> 00:03:32.979
hill divers. Oh my god war hammer 40k. Yeah war

00:03:32.979 --> 00:03:35.080
hammer I believe that's like further along than

00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:43.500
blade is at this point. It probably is No Yeah,

00:03:43.580 --> 00:03:50.199
I I want to believe I really do I just don't

00:03:50.199 --> 00:03:55.560
You know I Yeah, here's the thing. I think that

00:03:55.560 --> 00:04:02.479
they in a lot of ways Okay Blade was announced

00:04:02.479 --> 00:04:05.879
before the Bob Chapek era of of Disney right

00:04:05.879 --> 00:04:10.500
which really messed everything up. Okay Bob Chapek

00:04:10.500 --> 00:04:13.020
screwed a lot of things up with Marvel and everything

00:04:13.020 --> 00:04:15.840
else while he was there, and it's now taken Kevin

00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:18.420
Feige a couple of years to kind of get the ship

00:04:18.420 --> 00:04:21.600
righted again. And as we mentioned in our non

00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:24.759
-spoiler review, right, I am ready to say that

00:04:24.759 --> 00:04:27.000
the MCU is back. Three of the four last films

00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:30.660
have been great, right? Fantastic Four, Thunderbolts,

00:04:30.860 --> 00:04:32.779
which both of which you could see on our YouTube

00:04:32.779 --> 00:04:36.990
channel. and Deadpool and Wolverine, all great

00:04:36.990 --> 00:04:40.649
MCU films. They've only had one kind of one in

00:04:40.649 --> 00:04:44.709
there and that was Captain America 4. But I think

00:04:44.709 --> 00:04:48.149
that that disruption, the change with the Kang

00:04:48.149 --> 00:04:51.170
plan, everything else that happened. And how

00:04:51.170 --> 00:04:57.910
do you bring vampires into this MCU? I think

00:04:57.910 --> 00:05:02.379
you've got a challenge with that. And as much

00:05:02.379 --> 00:05:05.019
as I would love to see a midnight sun's show

00:05:05.019 --> 00:05:11.019
or or movie right because I love that I just

00:05:11.019 --> 00:05:24.819
don't I just I just I don't see it Yeah, I I

00:05:24.819 --> 00:05:28.620
don't know I I too desperately want this to happen

00:05:29.870 --> 00:05:33.009
But I mean, come on now it's it's been six years

00:05:33.009 --> 00:05:43.490
Yeah, I just I I'm with you Who are the Midnight

00:05:43.490 --> 00:05:47.009
Suns Midnight Suns are another Marvel group all

00:05:47.009 --> 00:05:49.870
of the X -Men and Avengers, but they are more

00:05:49.870 --> 00:06:01.689
around Supernatural stuff Right and so a lot

00:06:01.689 --> 00:06:06.050
of the stuff with them was Obviously and I'll

00:06:06.050 --> 00:06:09.449
bring this up for for our friend Jay because

00:06:09.449 --> 00:06:13.709
Jay loves this it centers around Various supernatural

00:06:13.709 --> 00:06:17.089
characters like Ghost Rider Who's one of my favorites

00:06:17.089 --> 00:06:24.990
blade and of course Jay's favorite? magic Magic

00:06:24.990 --> 00:06:30.839
is a a prime character the Midnight Suns universe

00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:37.980
right I was okay here's here's your piece of

00:06:37.980 --> 00:06:42.620
hope okay they did finally bring Mephisto into

00:06:42.620 --> 00:06:46.720
the MCU so we have a Mephisto now right so bringing

00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:49.560
something like Blade or Ghost Rider or any of

00:06:49.560 --> 00:06:54.839
that stuff makes more sense now That we've got

00:06:54.839 --> 00:06:57.500
like a Mephisto and some other stuff like I could

00:06:57.500 --> 00:07:01.879
I could see it Right. I just don't think we will

00:07:01.879 --> 00:07:09.519
You know I'd love to but yeah, I'm with you.

00:07:09.519 --> 00:07:13.759
I think it's dead. They just won't admit it Yeah,

00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:16.899
I we and I think we desperately need it. This

00:07:16.899 --> 00:07:21.699
could be what could save Marvel movies, you know

00:07:21.699 --> 00:07:28.620
