I would really like to see Disney+ unveil an Exiles tv version. Doesn't need to be the same original characters from the comics, but they could pull on the different Marvel adapted universes (plus LOKI's travels in his show and you have the "What If" animated chars as well)

The comics had a cast that rotated quite a bit. I don't really see the Exiles as having a defined membership. An ongoing Disney series would be cool with the team visiting an Earth or two each season.

Casting call for Blade indicates it will be a period piece (actors are warned they'll be required to cut/style their hair to fit the time period). No indication what time period it will be, but I doubt something like that would be called out on a casting call for anything newer than 80s/90s.

Blade stories, like other vampire stories, can take place in multiple time periods.

A lot of people have been saying that the post Endgame MCU lacked direction. I think this, along with the two announced upcoming Avengers movies, is the missing piece of the puzzle. I now see Secret Wars being a full-on Avengers, X-Men, Fantastic Four, the Spider-Men, Eternals, Guardians, you name it team up.

How do you go more epic after Endgame? This right here.

And realize that Kevin Feige has had a hand in the development of pretty much all of the things that he has brought into the MCU. He was there when they were developing the X-Men and Spider-Man movies. As Marvel Studios president, he's given notes on every Marvel-related project done by other Studios. This is starting to feel like a culmination of not only another epic saga, but of his entire career with Marvel.

When you look back at the start of the MCU when did we get the first bits about the Infinity Stones? Wasn't it until the first Avengers movie and that was the end of the first phase if i remember correctly and we didn't even know back then that these Infinity Stones would become central to the story of the MCU until Endgame.

Even if not it took them longer to get the Infinity storyline started than they needed to with the Multiverse saga. Loki kickstarted this whole thing and Nowhere Home blew the door wide open, that is pretty early so i'm not convinced that it lacks any direction.

Almost every movie and show since Nowhere Home deals with the Multiverse and other movies have their own mysteries they started that may connect to the Multiverse somehow ( Shang Chi's Rings for example).

The MCU wouldn't be where it's at without Feige - that's the one genius move made by Disney when they sidelined Isaac Perlmutter and handed the reins over to Feige, who lives, breathes and understands the MCU. Boggles my mind that they were not able to do that for Star Wars and wasted their money and time with the awful trilogy.

As has been discussed at length finding the right head creative organizer, like Feige, is not easy. DC hasn't done it, Star Trek hasn't done it, etc. Feige is apparently a very unique talent.

Not do derail the thread ( but i still will :p) - Dave Filoni. Disney has something like Feige in their Star Wars Department and he has proven time and time again that he can do it, chief amongst it the Clone Wars Series and Mandalorian. With the last one he did it together with Favreau but i don't know if Favreau would have been available back then when Disney took over and planned the trilogy. In either case i think Filoni would have turned out something much better if he had total creative control like Feige and just chose the right directors for each movie and kept them on a tight path ( which led to some MCU walkouts under Feige with directors, who were used to more freedom or having their own ideas that didn't overlap with MCU needs).

I don't like Fiolni but I can see the idea. I think the biggest factor is, as you say, a lot of freedom was granted to the SW directors, which resulted in less consistency than would be preferred. Honestly, I think the idea was to be closer to the OT than the PT, for reasons that I feel are obvious. But, it didn't work, and now I think it leaves them scrambling to make it work better rather than how things had gone initially. I think more structure will be helpful going forward in the future.

I am not convinced that Filoni is the best for what I want from a Star Wars film series but I can see the appeal.

The first time an Infinity Stone turned up was in Captain America TFA, we just didn't know it was an Infinity Stone at that point. The stones weren't mentioned outright in dialogue until Thor 2. I guess you could say the appearance of Thanos at the end of Avengers 1 indicated the IG plotline was underway.

Not just an idea, a literal fact. Dave Filoni has been Lucasfilm's executive creative director since mid-2020, which is about the same thing as Kevin Feige's post as chief creative officer of Marvel Studios.

I stand corrected.

Not my first choice but hopefully LFL learned from their mistakes going forward.
 
Personally, I've thought for years that Filoni was the best creator they had in SW-dom. There's nobody I'd rather see in charge.

I can't remember, did the earlier Blade movies bring up the fact that, as a "daywalker", Blade ages very slowly? I don't remember it being a factor in the trilogy, although its been part of the comics for awhile.

Regardless, the MCU could definitely use that to have some fun with different time periods, although I'm assuming Blade would end up in the present at some point of the film, even if its just at the end (since we know he's the one who talked to Dane in the eternals end credit scene).
 
Is Culture Crave a trustworthy source, I've never heard of them. Typically I don't trust any entertainment news unless the original source is something like IGN, EW, The Hollywood Reporter, or Variety.

Not the main MCU, but they still could return as variants a la Multiverse of Madness.

Yeah, I would definitely love to see the as variants.

As for Blade, with the original comics starting in the '70s, that would be my first thought for the time period. How much do we know about the MCU in the '70s? Wasn't that when Hany Pym and Janet van Dyne were originally active?
