Feige talks about Marvel phase 3 movies pt. 2



Punisher, Ghost Rider, Blade:
As recently revealed, these characters have reverted back to Marvel after being on loan to other studios. “So Punisher, Ghost Rider, … Blade, all those characters are back,” Feige says. “They all have potential, but I think we need to find the right time.” In other words, don't expect them to be part of Phase Three.
Hulk:
Feige shoots down those Planet Hulk rumors -- the ones that had already been shot down elsewhere -- while also saying that while there is no solo Hulk movie in the works yet, “Mark [Ruffalo] could stand in his own movie. … We’re talking about it. We’re excited to sit down and go, ‘What is a stand-alone Hulk movie?’”
Inhumans:
The Inhumans had been floated by Feige in the past as a possible Phase Two team movie, though the slot they would've filled seems to have been taken by Guardians of the Galaxy. But he still seems hopeful that those wacky moon-dwellers might make it to the big screen eventually.
“… all the craziness that comes with Inhumans, we’ve done in the other movies already,” Feige says. “But this would have some of the social drama that we haven’t really done yet. [Fox’s] X-Men, obviously, has been touching on that stuff for a while.”
Runaways:
This Brian K. Vaughn comic was slated for a 2011 production start before being delayed indefinitely. Could it still happen?
“It’s a matter of where it fits,” Feige says. “The way the business is working now, you either have really inexpensive, sort of surprise movies that can come out and be hits, but don’t cost much. Or you have the big giant summer blockbusters that really swing for the fences. Right now, we’re just swinging for the fences every time. Runaways sort of falls in between those, in a way. We just haven’t found where or how to do it… right now.”
Marvel Zombies:
Feige seems inclined to not make a Marvel Zombies movie at the moment. “Are you going to draw figures in chalk with your 3-year-old with Hulk eating someone? Or Captain America with his brains coming out of the top of his head? Probably not,” Feige says. (Though I would point out that the first Minimates figures I ever bought for my son were Marvel Zombies. He was about one-year-old at the time. But that's just me.)
Still, you know, this is Marvel Studios. I wouldn't put it past them to zombify things if even with a standalone film at some point…

Wesley Snipes may consider being Blade again?!




Wesley Snipes the man who I believe single handedly brought comic book movies to the highest level with his portrayal of Blade in the movie of the same name. While Snipes was the second best representation we had for African American super hero movies, Michael Jai White portraying Spawn in the movie adaptation in 1997 beat him to the punch but the more the merrier right?

I bet you were wondering the same thing I was asking all these years after Blade Trinity was released. Are we going to see more of Blade and Wesley Sniped returning to the role of the day walking bad ass vampire? Well Snipes has been quoted saying the following from prison.




"Getting asked this question all the time, my response is: 'Under the right circumstances, with the right team, yes, I'd do another one.' But don't get me wrong, I'm not waiting around for the opportunity. I've got plenty to do, plus an unraveled character in the works who I think will give Blade a helluva run for his money."



Some people forget or overlook my/our contribution to this current trend," Snipes has said. "The 'Gaming' community knows and the streets give us credits, but the movie world frequently plays us like the 'ugly step child' or the 'kitchen help,' especially when the conversation revolves around the 'boys in tights' or 'the bat'


Unfortunately Snipes was incarcerated for tax fraud June 6th, 2011 with a possible release date of July 19th, 2013 nothing to recent for our boy here but who knows with good behavior he can get a lighter sentence and be out and about making new Blade movies in no time. With all this being said I don’t think Marvel is going to touch Blade and possibly leave it until Snipes is ready to do it again.



 Don’t get me wrong Kirk Jones from Blade: The Series didn’t do bad as Blade in his portrayal, Snipes just owned that part to the point where the fans including myself know and recognize him. With marvel planning everything they are who knows maybe there could be blade cameos in the 2013 Marvel films in time for his return to do Blade maybe.
