David S. Goyer, who penned the original 'Blade' trilogy, is 'baffled' by the Marvel reboot facing so many delays: 'It should have insane ass-kicking. It should be pretty scary... It should not be complicated.'
The problem is Blade, like Deadpool, can only be done properly in an R rated film.
They don’t want to give the IP justice and want to pg-13 wash it because they think they will make more money. Deadpool proved that R ratings can take in cash if they let a passionate team and cast go and do what they want.
They don’t even need to integrate vampires into the main MCU. Blade gets a movie. Blade 2 has Blade working with Deadpool in a gloriously gory blood fest with Blade playing straight man to Deadpool’s fool and probably trying to kill him just to shut him up a few times. That way they keep the R rated films separate and build the dark MCU Earth-10005(Deadpool and Wolverine’s new universe) while acknowledging that they are in the same multiverse but are in a separate universe from MCU Earth-616.
