The ‘Midnight Sons’ Could introduce Mahershala Ali’s ‘Blade’ In The MCU
While the fate of ‘Blade’ remains uncertain, there is a glimmer of hope for fans of supernatural heroes in the MCU. According to insider DanielRPK, Marvel Studios is actively developing a ‘Midnight Sons’ project, a team-up film featuring some of the MCU’s most mystical characters.
The ‘Midnight Sons’ concept has been gaining momentum in recent years, with projects like ‘Werewolf by Night’ and ‘Agatha All Along’ introduce key players in the supernatural realm. These shows have hinted at the potential for a larger team-up. Additionally, the ‘Midnight Sons’ film could serve as a way to introduce Ali’s ‘Blade’ into the MCU.
However, this might crush fans’ dreams for a standalone ‘Blade’ film. This approach has worked well for other MCU characters, such as Black Panther. The character’s introduction in ‘Captain America: Civil War’ helped to build anticipation for his solo film, which went on to become a massive success.
