While celebrating the 20th anniversary of Batman Begins<\/em>, David S. Goyer says that he can\u2019t understand why Marvel can\u2019t get Blade right as it\u2019s a pretty simple concept. That\u2019s not all as Goyer also questions why the MCU would bring back Wesley Snipes when they are supposedly launching their own franchise with Mahershala Ali.<\/p>\n

Goyer wrote the Blade <\/em>movies starring Snipes and even directed the third film. <\/p>\n

\"Marvel's<\/figure>\n

What does Goyer say?<\/h2>\n

Goyer appeared on Josh Horowitz\u2019s YouTube<\/a> channel and was asked about comic book movies. Goyer was last involved with Zack Snyder\u2019s Man of Steel <\/em>and Batman vs. Superman<\/em> and hasn\u2019t touched a CBM since. He says he\u2019s not in a \u201ccomic book place\u201d right now and that he does follow all the social media chatter, including how fans want him back on Blade for the MCU, but he says while he \u201cthinks it would be fun\u201d that he already did the \u201cdefinitive Blade.\u201d<\/p>\n

Goyer Agrees: Blade Is a Simple Story\u2014What\u2019s the Problem?<\/h3>\n

Horowitz then questions Goyer about why Marvel can\u2019t crack Blade and that it\u2019s insane.<\/p>\n

Goyer agreed saying, \u201cI don\u2019t either because in my mind, I think Blade is a relatively simple story. It\u2019s not complicated.\u201d<\/p>\n

Goyer: Blade Should Be Simple, Scary, and Kick Ass<\/h3>\n

He continued, \u201cI always think about when you embark on a movie like this, you have to distill down what is the promise of the movie. So the promise of Blade, a new Blade, is that it should have insane ass kicking, it should be pretty scary, might be R-rated, and it should not be complicated. It should be a simple story.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cSo I don\u2019t know why it\u2019s been so hard. I have no idea why [laughs]. I\u2019m baffled. I\u2019ve sat on the sidelines, and Mahershala Ali is an amazing actor\u2026 I don\u2019t know why.\u201d<\/p>\n

Goyer Says Bringing Back Snipes Just Adds to the Confusion<\/h3>\n

Regarding Wesley Snipes, who returned in Deadpool & Wolverine<\/em>, Goyer questioned Marvel bringing back that version of Blade, and said he\u2019s not involved at all with the MCU.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought that was cool, too, but it\u2019s confusing also, if you are trying to do another one,\u201d said Goyer. \u201cYeah, it may have just been an acknowledgement that \u2018yeah, we can\u2019t crack it right now.\u2019 I have no idea. I haven\u2019t been involved in the conversations.\u201d<\/p>\n

What is Marvel\u2019s problem with Blade?<\/h2>\n

Regarding why Blade has been in development hell, reports offer that Marvel was going the route Kevin Feige has gone post-Endgame<\/em>, as they planned on replacing Blade with his teen daughter like they did in the comics. <\/p>\n

Reportedly, Mahershala Ali, a two-time Oscar winner, clashed with Marvel and pushed back against the concept and development on Blade has stalled.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
