Wow. How about that Marvel Hall H panel?
Red Hulk, Fantastic Four, Galactus, Doctor Goshdarn Doom, they were all there in some capacity, joining a long list of other characters and movies that made the San Diego Convention Center almost literally shake with noise. But you know who wasn't there? Our vampire-hunting favorite Daywalker, Blade. There was no mention of the Mahershala Ali character or film at any point in the raucous evening. And the weirdest part is that, at one point, there was a place for it.
Ok, let us explain: At the very star of the panel, Marvel Studios' creative boss Kevin Feige said that "we have three movies coming out in 2025." Those three films, as presented/sneak peaked at the panel, were Captain America: Brave New World, Thunderbolts, and Fantastic Four.
But here's the thing: As of this writing, Marvel lists Blade as coming out in November of 2025. So, we have to ask - just where the hell was it at SDCC?
Now, let's be clear here - Feige did not say that Marvel had only three films coming out next year. It's very possible that all he was doing was using the timeline as a way to group the movies together. Adding to the likeliness of this possibility is the fact that Blade has had a whole bunch of recent setbacks, meaning it might not have the required content to show off at a panel like Hall H.
Either way, we'd love some more good news on the Blade front. Just because vampires can wait for eternities doesn't mean we can.
