I'd argue revenue for a Blade or a War Machine movie would be bigger than this Agatha show.
The only way a Blade movie with Ali could be considered "big risk" is because of all the delays they caused themselves. It should not be THAT difficult, specially considering all the resources they have.
I'm sorry I just don't understand the logic behind some of these shows.
Blade could probably attract more revenue, since its going to hit theaters first. Plus digital sales/blu ray sales later on, that most Mcu shows don't even have right now.
But I also think The Marvels flopping really caught them off guard. If that movie earned trice of what it made at the box office (plus Quantumania grossing over at least $600 million worldwide), I bet the confidence for Blade and Armor Wars would have been a lot higher right now, even if they were still taking "long" to make. If 1 Mcu film already flopped (surprisingly), then they are definitely not immune for another one especially with less popular Marvel characters like Blade and Rhodey, in a lead role.
And oh, without Disney+, I doubt Kevin Feige would even entertain a War Machine movie. It was probably "upgraded" to a movie, because maybe they thought there's more money to be made for theaterical movies, than just putting it in a streaming service.
Both of these projects are in trouble because of their own doing. Too many things in development while seeing diminishing results in reviews and at the box office.
