MCU’s Blade Movie Might Hold A Shocking Doctor Strange Twist
The Marvel Cinematic Universe could use Blade to deliver a big Doctor Strange twist by introducing his brother. Plans for the Blade movie have moved slowly since Mahershala Ali was cast in 2019. The film is meant to be part of Marvel Studios' efforts to explore more supernatural characters and stories, which has become more prominent with Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and Werewolf by Night. The eventual arrival of Blade will be where vampires finally take center stage in an MCU story after years of teases about their existence.
Marvel Studios' secrecy surrounding Blade's story and setting has left room for speculation to grow about how the movie could connect to the wider MCU. It is one of the final films in Phase 5 before Avengers: The Kang Dynasty releases. However, Mahershala Ali's Blade could encounter some other MCU heroes before that film. Blade's place in the supernatural corner of the franchise creates a way for characters like Werewolf by Night, Man-Thing, Elsa Bloodstone, Black Knight, and more to appear potentially. Ali's character could have histories with many of them, but a Doctor Strange twist could also be in the cards.
