Bringing Blade into the MCU is proving hard for Marvel, but the signs were there all along

Blade.

Blade is one of the coolest superhero movies ever made, point blank period, and I stand by this. It's a bold claim, but without Stephen Norrington's 1998 horror-superhero flick, we might not have a Marvel Cinematic Universe – or, at the very least, Marvel movies would look a whole lot different. 

Fast forward some 26 years later, Marvel is now planning a redo in order to introduce Blade as a new hero in the MCU. In some ways, this felt inevitable – though the studio has definitely been taking its sweet time reintroducing staples like the X-Men and The Fantastic Four into the MCU.
