Each of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s upcoming movies and television shows are spotlighting a different corner of the Marvel universe, ranging from established tenets of comic canon to newly-created additions. One upcoming installment to that will be a new feature film for Blade, which will star Mahershala Ali as the titular vampire-killing daywalker. While the project was announced all the way back in 2019, subsequent updates have been scattered in the time since, as a director, writer, and members of the supporting cast have begun to be announced. That has left a lot of room for speculation about what story the Blade movie could tell, particularly to differentiate itself from the Wesley Snipes-led Blade movies of the ’00s. One prevalent theory has been that Marvel Studios’ Blade movie could be a multigenerational story with both Blade and his daughter — something that a new move from Marvel Comics itself might have just forecast.
