With the indefinite postponement of Blade, it’s possible Marvel has decided to integrate the vampire hunter into a larger Midnight Sons movie. Rather than focusing on a solo story, Blade could emerge as the leader of a supernatural team featuring Ghost Rider, Moon Knight, and other dark heroes.
Mahershala Ali, still attached to play Blade, would be a perfect fit to guide this group, combining his vampire-slaying expertise with the unique skills of his teammates.
In the comics, Blade is already closely tied to the Midnight Sons, a team created to handle supernatural threats that mainstream heroes might not be equipped to face.
Alongside Blade, characters like Ghost Rider and Morbius are classic members, but the MCU has been hinting at a more expansive lineup. With Moon Knight, Werewolf by Night, and Black Knight already introduced in the MCU, the groundwork is in place for this team to form. This potential movie could include darker, mystical characters like Wong and Doctor Strange, tying into the larger MCU narrative.
The post-credits scene in Eternals hinted at Blade’s involvement in the MCU when he speaks to Dane Whitman (Black Knight).
This sets up a natural way for Blade to be the driving force behind the formation of the Midnight Sons, as he could rally other characters to fight supernatural threats.
Given Marvel’s success with ensemble films like The Avengers, a Midnight Sons movie would allow them to explore the darker corners of the MCU while leveraging familiar faces.
This shift from a solo Blade film to a team-up movie would also solve the delays and production changes that have plagued Blade.
By positioning Blade as a central figure in an ensemble, Marvel could introduce fresh dynamics while avoiding the need to carry the entire narrative on one character.
Plus, this opens up exciting possibilities for crossovers with other MCU heroes, expanding the supernatural side of the Marvel universe.
A Midnight Sons movie, with Blade as the leader, would not only bring together fan-favorite characters but also add new layers to the ever-expanding MCU.
