Before Blade's announcement, "Thor: Ragnarok brought vampires to the table, mentioning vampires on "Sakaar!" The MCU universe isn't something that comes about randomly or out of nowhere.

Fans who've gotten to see Loki might recall a memorable discussion.

Mobius brings us closer to these supernatural beings. What made Loki so cool? Mobius even mentions a lot of amazing creatures! "Kree", "Titans" and, you guessed it, vampires. If Marvel brings those creatures up casually! Those who have seen all the movies will recognize just how big a deal it really is. It sets up something exciting for fans to think about. These characters already exist in the "Marvel Cinematic Universe, and that's not even the end of it.

That may just be how they've taken so much time! But for those of us who didn't notice, it sets up something special in the way that these supernatural creatures were introduced, creating an amazing story! These vampires! It looks like we’re headed into a new part of Blade.

To really hit it hard. We have a brand new show that has made history! A show from Marvel, which takes on the elements of horror that was super popular when it came out.

What does it have? Well "Werewolf by Night,". One that had a pretty classic black and white look, so it really felt different! In this, the story of vampires got expanded. What we got was "The Nosferatu." This was super fascinating and shows just what Marvel is doing to really expand on their characters. It seems that Marvel went all in with these ancient and cool vampire creatures!

It might even make a great "Blade" tie in.

The big thing about the Nosferatu was, it is a throwback to this super old movie. They used the exact name in this scary story, making the tie back even more real for "Marvel’s"
It even went on to have appearances in the Bloodstone comic book series and even had connections to Dracula.
This all might bring Dracula, to the world of Marvel.

That’s just how much "Marvel" wants to explore the history of these characters and it is pretty crazy! With these amazing events in the Movies, but also in series, it's apparent just how much they've planned! Even in an unexpected, out of the blue appearance.

Fans of "Deadpool" were thrilled with the amazing news when this film made its release. This was huge!

A "Deadpool & Wolverine film. This had tons of great, cool characters! It took us back to Deadpool. For a very specific, exciting cameo appearance and you couldn’t ignore it because Wesley Snipes was back and took us back to the earlier "Blade movie franchise. The series seemed to even hint about those cool multiple universes that Marvel was going to start releasing.

What did this show about "Marvel?" Well, they were more than ready for a major "R-rated" comic film, proving that there’s no reason to worry! These characters were brought to life, especially when we have the potential to see this all played out in "Blade," one of Marvel’s biggest moves.

Fans are really getting invested! In Blade.

That includes Marvel, who made an attempt to show fans they had a plan in mind! To give fans all the action of Blade as an "R-rated" film. This was even more special since the "Marvel Cinematic Universe" typically releases PG-13 rated movies! But now, we have an entirely new era, that brings the intensity. This was the perfect blend for how they were able to get it all going!

However, as these great movies, make their way into production, it appears the journey has had some pretty epic detours.

They lost the initial director, "Bassam Tariq"
A number of script changes have taken place as well! So it was a big challenge to bring together the pieces! This meant delaying the movie,

Fans know they were slated for a release in 2023, but the date shifted a bit and now they are expecting the show in 2025.

Even with all of the obstacles Marvel seems to have weathered the storm to give us Blade! "Blade," promises a truly exciting experience and those who’ve always loved "Blade", are in for an incredible treat.

With an amazing, exciting release of Blade, in just a short time, it looks like Marvel has shown off what they have in store for Blade, it's a story about one of the universe's best!
