Wesley Snipes as Blade in Deadpool & Wolverine.
When pinpointing the most pivotal film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, many critics will often point towards Jon Favreau’s Iron Man in 2008 as the pioneering film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In some ways this is true: Favreau’s film would set up a series of interconnected stories told through movies and television that would span decades and cement Marvel as the premiere teller of superhero stories on the silver screen and eventually on television screens.
Although the critical consensus is that the subsequent films in the Blade series were lacking in many areas, the Blade series was in many ways iconic. Movies like The Matrix, which debuted 6 months after the original Blade, and the Underworld series, stylistically were very similar to Blade. What once had been a pioneering take on the genre had become one of many in an oversaturated market of moody people in leather doing cool action and fighting otherworldly beings.
In this first installment of the Blade series, Blade is a vampire hunter working with mentor Abraham Whistler and scientist Karen Jenson. He's a human-vampire hybrid after the vampire Deacon Frost infected his mother before childbirth. Blade now has the powers of a vampire without their weaknesses, save for the need to satiate his own thirst for blood. As he hunts down Deacon Frost, he also searches for a cure for his own bloodlust.
In this sequel, Blade returns in his quest to save humans from vampires. This time, he finds himself battling a spreading pandemic. The virus turns vampires into “Reapers”, whose bite can turn both humans and vampires into primal, zombie-like mutant creatures with a ravenous thirst for blood. After making a deal with ancient vampire overlord Eli Damaskinos , Blade teams up with Damaskinos’ daughter Nyssa and an elite team of vampires under the employ of Damaskinos initially trained to kill him.
'Blade: Trinity' Blade: Trinity is the third and final installment in the original trilogy. The film debuted in theaters on December 8, 2004, and grossed $132 million at the worldwide box office on a budget of $65 million. Directed and written by David S. Goyer, the film revisits the titular character. Unlike its predecessors, the film received mostly unflattering reviews.
