According to a recent intriguing theory, the script for Marvel Studios’ long-awaited Blade reboot may already be in place, as it potentially ties into the events of Avengers: Infinity War from 2018. The announcement of Mahershala Ali taking on the role of vampire hunter Eric Brooks in the MCU’s Blade revival was made by Marvel boss Kevin Feige back in 2019. However, since then, the studio has been grappling to find the right approach for the highly anticipated reboot of the Blade franchise. The theory suggests that a suitable storyline may have already been established as early as seven years ago.
A compelling fan idea posted on Instagram proposes that the upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) Blade movie could commence post-Thanos’ cataclysmic event in Avengers: Infinity War, where Thanos utilized the Infinity Stones to diminish half of all life in 2018. This cosmic calamity plunged the universe into five tumultuous years before the Avengers managed to undo it. It’s crucial to note that Thanos eliminated half of everything living, but since vampires are considered undead in the MCU, they would not have been affected by this event.
In the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), vampires are relatively fresh characters, so we’re yet to fully understand their origins. Mahershala Ali has voiced Blade, and Terrence Clowe portrayed Saracen in She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, but their roles haven’t been thoroughly explored. Nevertheless, it’s well-known that vampires aren’t truly alive, which might make them immune to the snap Thanos initiated in Infinity War, potentially increasing the number of vampires compared to humans.
If “Blade” had been released following the events of “Avengers: Infinity War” and the Snap, Mahershala Ali’s Daywalker might have faced a surge of vampires who managed to survive Thanos. This potential storyline would have been captivating for several reasons, not least because it could have linked Blade’s eternal struggle with a significant MCU event, and also delved deeper into the implications of the Blip. Marvel Studios has tended to avoid exploring life during the five-year-long Blip, despite its rich potential for compelling storytelling. However, “Blade” might have addressed this gap in narrative exploration.
The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) initially planned to release “Blade” in October 2024, but due to numerous director and writer changes during a tumultuous period, it was removed from the schedule. Last year, the project continued under the radar as Marvel worked on rebooting Blade. Recently, there have been positive developments, although no concrete updates have been shared yet. It’s exciting to speculate that “Blade” might delve into the MCU’s Blip event, but it seems more probable we’ll witness a contemporary story that introduces Mahershala Ali into the current Marvel universe.
