I wouldn't dismiss Spike so quickly
fuck them other 3 bitches...
Spike Lee hire would be genius
IF
IF
IF
story & screenplay are written
with any of the following Fuqua, Priest, Mosley,
James Ellroy or give this guy a chance
Sam Boyd | Writer, Producer, Director
Known for: Love Life, In a Relationship, Goosebumps
www.imdb.com
just as important for a Blade movie will be who is hired as 2nd unit director, stunt choreographer etc
they better get on the phone with team Wick
fuck that kid
btw - rumor is the script that was scrapped had only 2 action scenes
Please Marvel don't fuck this one up, delay the shit out of it if they have to. 
I can see Spike pulling this off, it would be his first time directing a $200 Million dollar blockbuster.

would be his first time directing a $200 Million dollar blockbuster.
Marvel might budget max $120 million to film this
shiiiit - if Spike gets hired it will be more like $90 million
fuck Goyer - he is inconsistent - does Goyer that wrote the "why did you say Martha?" twist show up?
or Goyer that wrote the Deacon Frost monologue?
and both Nolans did heavy lifting on writing those Batman movies

Naw Blade probably will cost at least $200 million, its go big or go home for Disney at this point.
Agreed. Moon whatever is just aight
Man please.
yall...it was in PRE production
this is exactly the stage it should be in to switch things up.
preproduction means theyre finding cast and crew, making meeting schedules, figuring out budget allocation, etc.
the problem is that Disney shares too damn much info, and when they hit a snag folks lose they shit.
calm down.

both could be true...
I don't think he would be THAT cheap though
Sounds like it's gonna be a hot wad of garbage if something radical isn't done.
Lovecraft Country’s Yann Demange Will Master the Art of Marvel’s Blade as New Director

“What did one blade of grass say to the other? ‘Without a director, it’s really hard to make dew.’” That’s why Disney decided to push back production on the upcoming Marvel film Blade after losing its original director, Bassam Tariq. However, there is now a new director ready to master the art of the Blade franchise, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Lovecraft Country’s Yann Demange is set to take over directing duties for the project that has been in paused for a while. Joining Demange to steer the film in a new direction is Emmy-nominated writer Michael Starrbury as the new screenwriter. The film, which stars Mahershala Ali in the titular role as well as Aaron Pierre and Delroy Lindo, was scheduled to begin production this November, with a November 3, 2023, release date. But with the new team on board to start, Disney is giving them a little bit more time with a production start date of 2023 and a new September 6, 2024 release. There’s no word yet on if the new release date will push the project into the Phase 6 Marvel plans.
Marvel has said that Tariq’s removal is due to production issues, not artistic differences. “Due to continued shifts in our production schedule, Bassam is no longer moving forward as director of Blade but will remain an executive producer on the film,” Marvel stated to THR on September 27. “We appreciate Bassam’s talent and all the work he’s done getting Blade to where it is.” Tariq released his own statement, calling it an “honor” to work with Marvel on the film.
The film was announced in 2019 as part of Marvel: Phase Four and reportedly went through a number of revisions; Beau DeMayo had allegedly tapped in for rewrites of Stacy Osei-Kuffour’s script, but Marvel has not made any statements about the writing credits of the film. Ali as Blade made a brief appearance in the post-credits scene of Eternals, solidifying his place in the MCU as the character earlier than expected. Turns out there are worse things out tonight than vampires — they’re called production delays.

Really? Why
Honestly, they should invite Stephen Norrington, the director of the first Blade film, to direct this one. I know this is in a new universe but he's the only one who has done the character right so far IMO.
Well good he declined
if he was ever really offered
If he had been tapped it was intentional cause they now it'd be garbo
