I totally get that Kang got scrapped because Majors is an abuser. With that said, as you said, Blade would have been an easy win and scrapping three movies with Black main protagonists still smells like bullshit to me.

I didn't even wanna watch it, but they could have just recast majors. They already did it before, why the weird insistence on not recasting people?

I believe Blade had some problems with developing it (aka Disney/Marvel didn't give a shit and didn't push to get the movie made except for just early casting and script writting). Then that Deadpool movie happened with Wesley Snipes returning as Blade (that movie was just a bunch of marvel references the movie), and then Disney decided to scrap the Blade reboot.

I heard that the extras in Sinners wore costumes that were originally going to be used for the Blade reboot.

That could be true. I think a Blade reboot was sort of going to be hard to make because you already have Disney being racist and having zero interest in POC heroes/characters. And there were the Original Blade Trilogy Fans who wanted something like the first two Blade movies instead of the usual MCU stuff.

It sucks, too, because Blade was one of those iconic early successes in comic movies.
