Blade is coming to the MCU in just a few years, with the new movie starring Mahershala Ali as the Daywalker promising to open the door to the supernatural in the franchise. For the first time, vampires and werewolves and other monsters will appear in the Marvel Studios universe – and it seems the Blade reboot will dig deep into Marvel’s horror lore.
Sources have told We Got This Covered that the new Blade will feature two fan favorite villains. As we previously reported, one of these will be Count Dracula himself. This latest intel also tells us what the Prince of Darkness’ big evil plan may be: we’re being told that Drac wants to turn everyone into vampires.
The second character we’re hearing will appear is Vampire By Night. Alias Nina Price, Vampire By Night is the niece of Jack Russell AKA Werewolf by Night. A unique hybrid of vamp and werewolf, Nina isn’t actually a villain in the comics – she’s worked for S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Howling Commandos – but our info suggests she’ll be retooled as a foe in the movie.
Her family connection may just tell us a third fan favorite who’ll show up in the film. There has been talk that Russell could make his MCU debut in Phase 4, so Vampire By Night’s appearance suggests this will come in Blade. A Werewolf By Night spinoff is apparently in the works, too. A supporting role in Blade and then a solo movie or even a Disney Plus series sounds like a plausible plan of action.
What’s more, sources have informed us a Midnight Sons team-up film is in early development at Marvel, which could be another place we’ll see both Blade and WBN. Unfortunately, all of this is way off in the distance as Blade is yet to even get a release date. Though given Ali’s already attached, it shouldn’t be longer away than 2022 or 2023.
