Marvel's Midnight Suns are set to assemble on PS5 on 2nd December (with previous-gen versions coming at a later date), and we got a series of trailers introducing us to the Daywalker himself, the half-vampire Blade. We learn more about the character's history and see how he performs on the battlefield.
You would be forgiven for only knowing the character from the iconic Wesley Snipes portrayal in the Blade trilogy of films from the late '90s and early 2000s. Blade has been revamped several times throughout his long comic book career, which began with his first appearance all the way back in 1973, and you can learn all about it in the video below.
In Midnight Suns, Blade performs a melee DPS role, supporting the rest of the squad by dispatching foes with precision and speed, utilising blades and bullets to do so. His half-vampire heritage gives him supernatural speed and enhanced senses which aid him in this role.
What do you think of Blade? Are you a fan of the character? What do you think of his inclusion in Marvel's Midnight Suns? Hunt those cursed by vampirism in the comments section below.

i think the game will be good i want to have a good Marvel game since the PS2 will preorder after i see some gameplay
If it is like X-Com than it will be best Marvel game since Ultimate Alliance 2 while there won't be some issues in rules... But I still don't believe in 2nd Dec release, rather Q2 2023.
I can believe that it'll release in December, partly because Firaxis have form for releasing things in a very rough and unoptimised state. Waiting until Q2 next year might be a good idea either way
@Eagly I think its removed from the MCU, like the New Spiderman games.
Think Disney will probably push for certain characters to be included for promo purposes (Like Blade, as theres a film coming out). Blades cool though!
Hope this turns out well.
As an aside, Blade deserves better than the MCU. Rewatched the first two Wesley Snipes movies, and as campy as they are, they're infinitely more watchable than the unbearably tedious crap the MCU has been endlessly forcing through the conveyer line for the last several years. There's little doubt that the MCU/Disney flick will be as toothless and generic as the rest of their stuff, with early reports suggesting they're making a bloodless film with a soft PG-13 rating, and their policy of overruling their directors' choices.
@GuyProsciutto Why would Blade be PG-13, when they're allowing Ryan Reynold's Deadpool 3 film to be R rated?

@Eagly I'd highly recommend the new Werewolf by Night special, it dropped on Disney+ yesterday.
@KidBoruto Seems like Blade will be PG-13, I recalled reading it recently. I think Feige wants all the MCU movies to be PS-13, except the ones that aren't. 😉 Also, Werewolf by Night was really good, but I am the target audience, I read those comics back in the day, and watched my share of Vincent Price movies.

@GuyProsciutto Blade was great. I've never seen all of 2 but I watched 3 for the first time recently and it was great. It was like Deadpool's backstory. And Triple H. Who doesn't like Triple H?
@rjejr That CBR article is just speculation from the previous actor who played as Blade. Disney/Marvel and Fiege have not confirmed a PG-13 rating yet.
@Eagly Happy to hear that! I also enjoyed the special too, here's hoping we get to see more monsters in the future.
Ok... now this game has my attention. Glad they had him keep the Snipes look.
Wonder if Snipes got paid for this?
@KidBoruto Well while true that article was about Snipes' comments, he was saying it wouldn't be rated R b/c of what Fiege said previously. And what Feige says goes.

@rjejr If you read further down in that article though...
"All signs point to Blade receiving an R-rating, with even Ali acknowledging that the hero is “darker” in terms of tone and portrayal. That said, there's always a chance that Feige is just misdirecting the press, and the original intention is for Blade to correspond with the original theme of the character from the comics and the previous movies."
@Eagly F this phase nonsense just make cool stuff i think this phase crap does more damage then good.
@KidBoruto If Blade is in the MCU as a movie that is part of the multiverse saga I can see them trying to make it PG-13 so the kids can see it. Deadpool so far hasn't been connected. If Blade was connected to Sony's Venom/Moebius universe then I could see it as R. My guess is they film it, release it in theaters edited down to PG-13, then release the R version on bluray and Disney+. See also that PG-13 Deadpool movie. So like that, but in reverse.
Blade would have fit right in the Werewolf by Night special. Hard to tell if that would have been R w/ the blood. No sex or language I noticed so probably PG-13. Jurassic World, the first of the new trilogy movies, was so violent and bloody my kid wanted to leave. I thought it was way too much myself for a dinosaur movie. So I think they can get away w/ A LOT of violence in PG-13 these days. Blade doesn't need to curse, just stare.
@Eagly I clocked out ages ago i want something to end and with a finish with games movies and series so for me its something i will skip. All my favorite series and movies and games have a clear finish which will take less then a decade or two. Hauting of Hillhouse short to the point does not overstay its welcome.
