Marvel has proven it can make money in Feb and March. Marvel has too many characters. (As proven by all the names we've heard both yesterday and today.) They need to loan some more to Sony. And seriously, they probably need to go all in and go for 4 movies a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seems more like a date they’d reserve for a newcomer like Blade. No one said they're obligated. I just think they'll go with what worked last time for Captain Marvel. (Then again, they're moving Black Panther, so...) And I don't see Blade anywhere other than late summer or fall, no matter which year. New Line released only one out of the three previous Blades in the winter time frame in the U.S. (Blade I: Aug, Blade II: March, Blade III: Dec.) ...so the character itself has that small precedent... (Well, Blade II was March, but it always felt like a 'winter' film to me, for some reason, its Prague-setting and all.) But these are totally different circumstances now, different studios, different creatives, different global market... and of course a different (likely PG-13) Blade.

The July 22 date is late, almost August (and could be pushed there, eventually). If I were at Marvel/Disney and planning (I'm not, unfortunately), that's where I'd put Blade. The first Blade in 1998 did very well, there. But the sequel did even better in March three years later. So I know I'm self-defeating. Just my gut feeling. Would work best as a late summer or fall darker action film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Universal seems to be the one going strong the most among non-Disney studios this year while Sony is about to have a great fourth quarter.

Hawkeye got skipped last night too. Little Mermaid and Artemis Fowl also got skipped. Suffice it to say, Disney just had too much to talk about. You can only announce so many things. If they made a million other announcements, all of their news would start overshadowing each other. Heck, it may already be at that point. They'd only be stealing the spotlight from themselves.

lorddemaxus Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 I actually thought yesterday's presentation was a lot more interesting and surprising than today's, especially in the Marvel department. The only interesting stuff from today for me was Soul and Jungle Cruise. The rest only had a little bit of new information (SW TROS, Black Panther 2, and Frozen 2) or don't look so interesting (pretty much everything I didn't mention above).
