Case File 013: Blade

February 26, 2020 / Christopher Schrader

We're back! And to celebrate our return, we're shaking things up with an investigation into our first antihero - Blade.

It's a deep dive on the Daywalker's comic book origins, how he was updated for the first film, the highs and lows of the sequels, other paths not taken, and where it all goes from here now that Marvel has reacquired the rights to the character.

Other topics include: the state of comic book movies when the first film hit theaters in 1998, alternate casting choices for the title role and other notable directors who circled the project, the small changes Blade II makes to the character that have a huge overall impact, the turmoil behind the scenes of Blade: Trinity and how that effected their plans moving forward, a long list of potential spinoffs and crossovers that never materialized, speculation about Blade's upcoming introduction into the MCU, and much more!
