It really does seem as if the “Blade” film is cursed, right? Something is going on that is preventing the film from moving forward at Marvel Studios. We’ve seen numerous writers come and go, as well as directors. Yet, apparently, it’s still a priority for Marvel. 

According to Omelete (via Deadline), while appearing at the D23 Brazil event, Marvel’s Kevin Feige talked about the current status of the “Blade” film.

Even though “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” didn’t reach the billion-dollar milestone that the first film did, it still earned more than $859 million worldwide. That’s a pretty damn good number for a Marvel sequel nowadays. So, even though Marvel hasn’t announced it, we can assume “Black Panther 3” is in the works. But what we would never have guessed is who would slip up and confirm it early.

“Deadpool & Wolverine” was the second biggest movie of the year, following “Inside Out 2,” but it could have been even bigger. The highest-grossing R-rated movie ever globally, it raked in 1.3 billion this year worldwide, became the 18th highest-grossing film of all time, and became the sixth highest-grossing Marvel movie ever, only bested by four “Avengers” films and “Spider-Man: No Way Home.”

Filled to the brim with cameos, of course, Chris Evans as the Human Torch, Channing Tatum as Gambit, Wesley Snipes as Blade, Jennifer Garner as Elektra and more, there were definitely more cameos on the table in early drafts.

In a literal gift for the cast and crew of “Agatha All Along,” Walt Disney Television and Marvel Studios have decided to reclassify the hit Disney+ program in the Comedy Series category for awards purposes.

If you believe what is online, there seems to be two types of folks who watched Marvel Studios’ “She-Hulk: Attorney at Law” — people who hated it and the woke mob. For some reason, we live in a world where fandom has grown so toxic that you can’t even enjoy a silly superhero sitcom without being accused of having the woke mind virus. It’s really ridiculous. But thank god we have Tatiana Maslany as She-Hulk because she gets it and she’s hilarious.

Don Cheadle is one of the longest-running veterans of the MCU. First appearing all the way back in “Iron Man 2,” Cheadle’s Rhodey has been one of the foundational stars of the cinematic universe.

At his age now, you wouldn’t think of Harrison Ford as someone who is keen on joining another major franchise. This is someone who has been the star of multiple massive franchises.

Marvel Studios is known for spending millions of dollars on projects, “The Marvels” project from last November, which flopped, reportedly featured a budget of $300 million. And in the late summer of 2023, Marvel underwent what we described as the Marvel TV Reckoning, which was the company overhauling the way they made TV (leading to the restart of “Daredevil: Born Again”). But their strategy hasn’t ended there either.

Following his turn in “Top Gun: Maverick,” actor Lewis Pullman, the son of Bill Pullman, seems to be everywhere. From appearances on “Lessons With Chemistry” opposite Brie Larson to “Outer Range” with Josh Brolin, the 31-year-old actor is definitely on the rise. His latest onscreen appearance is the supernatural horror film “Salem’s Lot,” written and directed by Gary Dauberman, which was the opening film at the Beyond Fest earlier this week and is scheduled to be released by Max on October 3, 2024.

Today, Marvel decided to release a teaser (a tease that’s over three minutes long) for the upcoming team-up film, “Thunderbolts*.” The film shows a lot of action and seems to focus on a group of anti-heroes brought together for a common good. Most people are calling it Marvel’s version of “The Suicide Squad.” However, according to one person in the cast, it’s more like “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.”

“Thunderbolts*” will feature a less well-known Marvel super-team. Unlike the “Avengers” and “Fantastic Four” franchises, which have enjoyed a steady level of popularity in the comic medium for over five decades, giving them a built-in audience for their film adaptations, “Thunderbolts*,” a more obscure Marvel property, will have to win the affection of its audience to some extent upon its theatrical release. While this is not totally unfamiliar territory for Kevin Feige and Marvel Studios, having introduced three movie installments of the relatively unpopular “Guardians of the Galaxy” comic series to massive critical acclaim and commercial success in the last decade, it is still a risk that Feige and Marvel are willing to take.
