Marvel Studios is starting to retrench and is putting a number of movies on hold after writers, directors, and producers were fired for taking their movies into uber-woke directions that executives knew would lead to box office failure.
One such film is the upcoming Blade reboot.
If you are not familiar, Blade is is a superhero vampire. He’s a superhero because he denies his vampiric affliction and uses his powers to destroy the evil vampire scourge that is out to murder humans. Several movies have already been made with Wesley Snipes in the lead. But Marvel is planning on remaking the movie, this time starring Oscar winner Mahershala Ali.
But Marvel has discovered a very serious problem with their remake.
Star Ali is (or was) about ready to quit over the script.
According to Variety, the whole project has been put on hold because the film’s now former writers and directors were trying to turn Blade into a woke nightmare.
Marvel’s top boss, Kevin Feige, became alarmed when Ali was ready to walk.
Ali was about to quit the movie because the script put him as the FOURTH lead in the film even though he was supposed to be the superhero Blade! Ali was upset that three female characters were given more of the story than him. The script focused on the three women who were “learning life lessons” and blade was just a glorified cameo.
The movie was put on hold, the directors and writers fired and now it is being reworked. It has already gone through five writers, two directors, and one shutdown six weeks.
Feige has now ordered the whole thing to go back to the drawing board.
Woke is destroying Hollywood.
