Blade is struggling, but they are still working on it, announced a replacement director, and seems to still be on track to eventually be made. It’s not the first time a project struggled or had to be delayed - Ant-Man and Guardians of the Galaxy 3 comes to mind - but so far the only project the MCU ever cancelled was…
Is the TV landscape finally ready for ‘God Cop’?
On Twitter they’re rallying for him to join the MCU, mostly as Captain Britain but also Cyclops or Sentinel. I wonder if he might be done with the superhero experience, at least for a little while — all this DC business would leave a bad taste in anybody’s mouth.
Would be nice to see him in something original, playing…
Time for the MCU to snap up Henry, then. Maybe an X-Man?
While I’m relieved we won’t see a Superman vs. Black Adam movie, what’s the point of making a Superman prequel? Unless there’s Silver Age Superboy zaniness, compelling stuff only happen to Clark Kent once he becomes Superman.
Samuel L. Jackson even made up a fake spoiler about Captain Marvel just because he was so sick of being asked about it.

Variety and THR generally don’t fall for that kind of crap -- and cut off sources that try it. That’s why they’re Variety and THR.
someone is telling vetted industry publications like Variety and THR this stuff
Squashing rumors about comic book movies is a full time job in itself. Brie Larson quit/was fired half a dozen times between Captain Marvel and Endgame. Youtube accounts with 300 subscribers know someone who works on the set of Fantastic Four that swear Topher Grace’s Venom is going to appear.
yup (and on a nicer note - it was a house for his mum).
There was a stigma associated with science fiction that persisted well into the 2000s — if you were writing SF and were critically acclaimed or a huge bestseller, you couldn’t be writing “genre” fiction, you were writing real literature that was reaching and influencing a wide audience.
“I’d just bought a castle, I had to pay for it somehow!”
The funny thing is that Crichton cited Gregory Benford, an actual scientist and SF writer, as a source for his anti-environmentalist screed State of Fear, and he misrepresented Benford’s research to support his “climate change is bullshit” thesis.
And while I respect the man, Michael Crichton. I’ve been frustrated with the system he learned to manipulate. Dye in the wool sci-fi authors were exploring the latest ideas and barely getting by while MC would dust off something old enough to get a senior’s discount at the popcorn stand and make millions off it.
Kinda get the feeling that going to any movie in 2022 that isn’t a blockbuster is the equivalent of buying Neil Young’s Harvest on 180 gram vinyl.
“I have never seen the film, but by all accounts it was terrible. However, I have seen the house that it built, and it is terrific.”
You just described my utopia. The movie theaters of the ‘80s combined with the sneakers of the ‘90s...combined with the car design of the ‘70s...only powered by fusion reactors from the future.
I believe it due to two words, Michael Crichton. And it seems he still lives on in spirit in he halls of Hollywood.
