So What's Next For Blade?

[myway]

Blade's a great character and I for one would love to see more of him. I thought Trinity was horrible but Blade: The Series was getting better and better with each ep. As far as I know, there's no plans to continue the series, although I did hear rumor of a direct to DVD conclusion of the series depending on DVD sales. I likewise haven't heard much about a new Blade movie so what's up?

It might be a good time for marvel to do a proper animated series/movie with the character. There's more edgy stuff coming out these days and Blade could be a good fit.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

The first 2 Blade's were fantastic, the third one was dissapointing. Also, I agree that there should be a proper Blade animated series.

 

[mediaman]

Animated Series STRAIGHT UP would be tight. Why can't they take a cue from the animated HBO "Spawn?" That series was amazing.

 

[Lord Blackbolt]

Maybe if the Black Panther series on BET is a success...then they might do a Blade animated series. Also....Snipes hasn't had a movie in theaters since Trinity....so what better way to get back on screen with another Blade movie.

If Snipes doesn`t return. I have other contender for a new blade.

Who are those guys?

 

[Chris Wallace]

Jamie Foxx-won an Oscar for playing Ray Charles.
Omar Epps-most recent claim to fame is "House", starred in "Love & Basketball" & some bad "life in the hood" movies.
Tyrese Gibson-was last seen in "Transformers", "Death Race" & also did some bad "life in the hood" movies.

Brian J White for Blade. Martial artist. Up and comer. Has played too many cocky characters but I liked him a lot in his darker role on The Shield

I don't like Brian J White his face. he doesn`t look tough enough

 

[ANTOINE X]

Omar Epps is more the type of Snipes. But he really need to beef up!

 

[cerealkiller182]

looks fine to me

I would still like to see Michael J. White get a crack at him, preferably live-action, but animated form would be cool too. White isn't the best actor, but he has the physicality, the voice, and the right aura to be a more worthy successor to Wesley Snipes than Kirk Jones was, though Jones was getting better.

Animated Blade might be cool if they keep it R rated, or at least push the boundaries on PG-13. I'm not a big anime fan, but I could perhaps see Blade as an anime series.

 

[I Am The Knight]

Development hell.

 

[ANTOINE X]

I always saw Micheal Jay white as Luke Cage but yeah! He can certainly handle Balde easily.

 

[ANTOINE X]

Now that I think about it It`s time for Marvel to do a Black Superhero movie. Either Blade,Black Panther or Luke Cage. It`s more then 4 years ago since we saw Blade trinity.

 

[gwynplaine]

They should get avon barksdale to play Blade or at least Luke Cage.
And Omar for the Black Panther.

NO!!

 

[gwynplaine]

OK, OK (just a big fan of the Wire). Any suggestions ?

 

[ANTOINE X]

Omar Little for Blade

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

I think it's time to let the character go, the 3rd movie already ruined the series. We don't need another disaster.

 

[Chris Wallace]

I don't know about that, ISS. If everyone adhered to that way of thinking, our last memory of Batman would be this.

As opposed to this.

 

[cerealkiller182]

Gasp! Is Chris Wallace recommending a reboot!!!!!!

 

[Chris Wallace]

God, no. I'm just saying we don't necessarily have to give up.
You know how you might have an exterminator come out & get rid of all your roaches? Sometimes there's an egg or larvae left behind that survives, & when it matures, it & all its young are now immune to the particular poison that the exterminator used. This same mentality can be applied to the Daystar virus.
