As DC Comics’ ‘Batman vs Superman‘ continues to pull in mixed reviews its rival Marvel has set it sights on a number of black actors as they begin work on the latest ‘Blade’ project.
One of the names on their list of possible stars?
Michael B. Jordan.
‘Blade’ is a Marvel superhero who protects humans from vampires and was portrayed by Wesley Snipes for the very first time on screen in 1998.
The actor’s big screen portrayal of the character in its first movie swept up $131.2 million at the box office and now, after being picked up Disney, Marvel is keen to replicate this success with a younger player.
Marvel is gearing up an official reboot to their Vampire Action franchise, Blade. While there is no word on a director, the studio is reportedly looking at a very short-list of actors that includes Michael B. Jordan and Birth of a Nation’s Nate Parker; with relative unknowns Aml Ameen who had a small role in Lee Daniels’ The Butler, and Elijah Kelley from Red Tails and Hairspray. Marvel aims to start filming the movie this summer and as of this report, no mention on whether or not the movie will get an R-rating. With Marvel owned, of course, by Disney, fans are expecting a friendlier PG-13 rating.
If Jordan bags the role it would follow his success in the movie ‘Creed‘ and the commercial bomb that was the latest ‘Fantastic Four’ release.

He’s soooooo fine *bends over*
You dirty tense! You have no class and your Trashiness knows no bounds. Cheap dog!
Worry about your ugly fav getting dragged by a crackhead sis.
Bend? Like your self esteem when you saw Jackie’s sales?
Making numerous screen names to “attempt” to drag me? Goodbye AnnaLESSER
Just as loose and lowly as her credit score.
SCREAMING. Coming from a fake Rihanna stan? You could’ve at least fake stanned for a classier artist sis.
LMAO @JACK-0FF is such a try hard!!!! this HistoRih person has been commenting for months, but you just can’t handle the fact that multiple people are clocking your tea!!!! Keep that CØCKSUCKER shut sis!
All of these corny ass screen names are the same person. Gtfoh it’s probably you like I said.
What about Michael Jai White?
He’d be so good but he doesn’t get the roles he should. It’s so sad.
He should get it
I’M GAGGING at the slaughtering @crackie is receiving for ‘his’ seemingly innocent comment. LMAO and we all know how good David is at exposing troll accounts, so if it’s really me then he’ll let you know! get over your obsession sis, cuz I have no problem dragging u under THIS name!
Oh if that’s the case why hasn’t he exposed me/Molly? ? B**** drag yourself to the nearest clinic, A*** f**.
Has he ‘exposed’ me yet? I’m waiting…. oh right, no! SO SHUT YO CØCKSUCKER UP HŒ!!! And I truly hope you are the same person. It would be frightening to think there are two psychotic body-dysmorphia-suffering hœs unleashed to society, instead of one!
Drink bleach, fat ugly pressed b****.
SCREAMING!!! @ THIS PSYCHOTIC B*TCH!! how am I pressed when my name stays on your mouth like jízz? Tell your mama to swallow the load next time, and maybe we won’t have so many crazy ass b*tches like you unleashed on the internet. And tell your daddy to eat pineapple next time!… B*TCH!
Don’t flatter yourself bum b****.
YAWWWNNNN! Is it the end of your scene yet B*TCH? Or are you still pretending to be other people on the internet to escape your harsh reality!
Is he the only young black actor in Hollywood? Is there no one else to hand a job to?
I can see him playing Blade. He did a great job in “Fantastic Four” so I see him showing no mercy in this too. #GoodSh!T Jordan!
