i think its funny that Blade has had a completely different look in each issue he's been in. I'm also excited to see Blade interact with Thor. I think there could be some cool mythos building there around the history of vampires in the MCU

If anyone's interested in what Idris Elba would've been like as Blade, check the Fast and Furious trailer
I agree. I love Idris but if he played Blade like his Fast and the Furious villain it would be terrible. I'd take his Gunslinger character over Brixon and even that would be less than ideal.

I think the issue with Blade is that while the Wesley Snipe version is so iconic, Marvel fans are sort of used to different versions of the character.
Some are more talkative, some are almost like the Punisher, some are more fun and witty.
I'm not offended by the idea of Mr. Elba, but I'd have to see how he'd approach it. Aside from that, of course, there's the pragmatic "optics" of having played Heimdall in films. There's also the French monk he played in Ghost Rider 2 a lot of people have forgotten, lol. (Yes, not MCU, but anyway..)
The next TV/Film Blade needs to be a ladies' man. Women dig vamps. Especially if Morbius is given a love interest(s), why not Blade? Back in the 70s, didn't one of his girlfriends work as a strip club dancer?
Morbius's love interests always feel weird to me. They're either rather young given his probable age or they are nuts. Or both. I mean, the guy has to be in his late 40s at the least. I don't have much faith in the movie adaptation so I'm just ignoring that for now.
Is Blade really a lady's man or is it just that he's hot? I like his thing he had with Spitfire. It was cute and romantic, but it felt like a relationship between competent adults
I remember the 90s cartoon made Morbius around Peter's age, which was a dramatic change.. I don't know if some fan perceptions see him in that interpretation.
I guess I wouldn't mind Blade having some sway with women, just to be different from the stoicism and monomaniacal anti-vamp outlook that many attribute to him.
