Black Knight Can Easily Still Appear In Blade (Even If It"s A Prequel)
Despite rumors that Marvel Studios' Blade movie will be a prequel for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Black Knight could easily still appear. The introduction of Dane Whitman (Kit Harington) in Eternals gave comic readers a tease that he could one day become a hero. He acquired the powerful Ebony Blade by the end of the movie after watching Sersi and other Eternals taken from Earth by the Celestials. The tease of Dane's superhero transformation was expected, but it was surprising to see the MCU link his future to Blade through a voice cameo by Mahershala Ali in Eternals' post-credits scene.
The established connection meant instant speculation that Dane Whitman would be in Blade, and that the upcoming MCU movie could be where Kit Harington's character finally puts on the Black Knight armor. However, there has been a growing concern that this is unlikely to happen thanks to rumors about the movie's setting. Unconfirmed reports suggest that Blade will be a prequel and set in the MCU's past, allowing Mahershala Ali's Eric Brooks to be introduced without needing to connect to the current Multiverse Saga story. This would seemingly eliminate any chance of Dane Whitman appearing, but Black Knight could still be in Blade.
