I was listening to The Hot Mic podcast, and Jeff Sneider said something pretty shocking – he’s absolutely sure that Blade as a standalone movie is completely off the table at Marvel.

Recent buzz suggests the upcoming Spider-Man: Brand New Day might feature a particularly notorious and divisive character from Marvel Comics. Paul Rabin, a newer addition to Spider-Man’s supporting cast, could be appearing in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. If the rumors are accurate, Paul’s introduction might upset some fans, but it’s happening anyway.
While the emotional ending felt right for the character, it’s still odd that Sheldon hasn’t made an appearance in the first two seasons of the Young Sheldon spin-off. The show, Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage, already includes Mary, Missy, Georgie, and Meemaw in significant roles. With George Sr. gone, Sheldon is the only member of the Cooper family missing from the new series.
