This is apparently the case. Ali reportedly has final approval over the screenplay – unsurprising, since the movie was only green lit because he asked for it – and wants Blade to have the cultural impact that Black Panther had. As much as I love Mahershala, and have no desire to air on the side of the soulless megacorp (whose CEO was threatening to hold out against striking performers until they started losing homes as late as last year), by all accounts, Mahershala wanting this to be a cultural touchstone of sorts seems to be one of the biggest hurdles. I feel like if all they were doing was a standard vampire killing movie with some tie-ins to Midnight Sons, this movie would've been over and done with years ago. To which, I might add, if you wanted a Black Panther-type cultural event, Blue Marvel was right there, and is the last remaining part to doing an Ultimates movie down the line (granted they want to use Shuri versus just waiting to recast T'Challa after Secret Wars). I mean, they still have time to beat DC to a Black Superman; they don't seem to have any plans to do Icon, and whatever they negotiated with Michael B. Jordan seems have gone nowhere. Speaking of recasting T'Challa, because this is the worst timeline, one of the myriad ugly parts of Twitter has turned the 1-2-3 punch of them not recasting for BP2, Blade's failure to move forward, and Jonathan Majors' unforced error into some sort of conspiracy on behalf of Disney. Sigh. They have Isiah Bradley right there, give us a prequel movie |

Sigh. The irony with the last part was that, if anything, Disney were irring on the side of caution with Majors too much. They really had no choice but to release Loki Season 2 even though Majors was literally in court during the airing and rather than make a decision, they waited for the court to which, hey, I get it, but it's not like there wasn't a history of contracts having clauses of any sort of court case or accusation being a cause for dropping someone before. Literally, if Majors was declared anything but guilty, we wouldn't even need Robert Downey Jr as Doom because they'd be carrying on with Kang. |

Honestly I think there's a chance they would've backpedalled on Kang regardless. The arc just wasn't getting over, granted not like they did it any favors having the most dangerous and scary Kang that even the other Kangs feared get immediately killed by a C-lister. |

Sure but if that were the case, they probably would have dropped him a lot sooner. Especially how much people got back into it after Loki. |

The weird thing is, I remember plenty of actors talking about morality clauses and whatnot with Disney. They have some serious constraints. Also, this would have been the easiest character in the world to recast. The character was pretty much built for it. It's a shame they felt the need to resort to RDJ as Doom which frankly reeks of desperation. |

So found out that Quantummania actually did turn a profit.
A profit of about 86 thousand dollars

Looks good.
I don't like The Spider-Man cartoon animation though. Plus, this is what, the 5th cartoon they done of him since 2010?

Marvel's Spider-Man (Three seasons) 3. Spidey & His Amazing Friends (present) 4. Friendly Neighbourhood Spider-Man And if rumours are right, the fifth will be Spider-Man '98 |

Yeah, that Spider-Man art style looks rather hideous.

Notes from Disney D23 Brazil
Kevin Feige confirmed the following:
-2026 will have just two films as well as three Disney+ series
-They are still committed to Blade
-He strongly indicated that Mutants will become the focus of the MCU after Secret Wars
-Miles Morales is coming to the MCU eventually

Theres someone alive rn who's going to be Miles F'n Morales. Hope it's as good as Hollands casting.

Honestly, still kind of find it weird What If's only going to be 3 seasons.
I don't think there's a better, cheaper way of keeping your universe relevant and reminding people of certain characters than just having the actors and soundalikes recite different versions of those story. It's something you could keep running for years.
EDIT: Even something as simple as "What if Agatha was unsuccessful on The Witch's Road?" would be fun to watch for fans considering the surprise success of Agatha All Along.

Though I do wonder if they're going to try to recast Blade at this point. Sorry that might sound rude. I appreciate the info. |
