Blade & Black Knight: Unleashing the Supernatural MCU

 

🧛‍♂️ Blade, Black Knight & the Supernatural Side of the MCU

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has explored space, time travel, and the multiverse—but one mysterious realm is still largely untouched: the supernatural side.

With Blade and Black Knight on the horizon, Marvel is gearing up to introduce vampires, ancient curses, and magical weapons. And when that door opens? It could change the MCU forever.

Let’s dive into what this supernatural side looks like, and why Blade and Black Knight might be key players in the next phase.

⚔️ Who Is the Black Knight?

We first met Dane Whitman (played by Kit Harington) in Eternals. While he didn’t get much screen time, a post-credits scene teased something big.

In the scene:

  • Dane opens a mysterious ebony sword.

  • The blade whispers to him, and he struggles to control it.

  • Off-screen, a voice asks: "You sure you're ready for that, Mr. Whitman?"

That voice? None other than Blade (voiced by Mahershala Ali).

🧠 In the comics, the Ebony Blade is a magical weapon that:

  • Can cut through almost anything

  • Protects the wielder from death

  • Slowly corrupts the soul of its user

Dane Whitman becomes Black Knight, a cursed but heroic warrior who walks the line between light and darkness.

🧛 Who Is Blade?

Blade is a vampire hunter with a unique twist—he’s a Daywalker.

  • Half-human, half-vampire

  • Immune to sunlight

  • Has enhanced strength, speed, healing, and senses

Originally portrayed by Wesley Snipes in the classic Blade trilogy, the character will now be rebooted into the MCU by Mahershala Ali.

🧛 Expect Blade to battle:

  • Vampires

  • Other supernatural beings

  • Possibly even characters like Werewolf by Night or Mephisto

🌒 Supernatural Threads Already in the MCU

Even though Blade and Black Knight haven’t had solo films yet, Marvel has already sprinkled hints of the supernatural:

  • Moon Knight introduced Egyptian gods, avatars, and spiritual realms

  • Werewolf by Night explored monsters and monster hunters

  • Scarlet Witch tapped into chaos magic via the Darkhold

  • Doctor Strange deals with demons and dimensions, like the Dark Dimension and Dormammu

🧩 All of these pieces suggest a growing world where magic, monsters, and ancient curses are about to become mainstream in the MCU.

⚔️ Blade + Black Knight Team-Up?

Their post-credit connection implies they may work together.

What could that look like?

  • Blade recruits Dane Whitman to fight supernatural threats

  • They form a new team (more on that below 👇)

  • Together, they battle vampires, undead warriors, or ancient evils like Chthon or Mephisto

Fans are even speculating that Marvel could be setting up the Midnight Sons—a dark supernatural team from the comics.

🧟 Possible Members of a Supernatural MCU Team

Here’s who could form a Midnight Sons-style team:

CharacterRole
BladeVampire hunter and team leader
Black KnightCursed warrior with a magic blade
Moon KnightVigilante tied to Egyptian gods
Elsa BloodstoneMonster hunter (Werewolf by Night)
Ghost RiderSpirit of vengeance (rumored to appear soon)
Doctor StrangeMagic expert and multiverse guardian
Scarlet Witch (if alive)Chaos magic user with massive power

This team would operate in the shadows, handling threats the Avengers can’t—or won’t—touch.

🔮 What It Means for the Future

Marvel is clearly expanding the MCU beyond science and space into a darker, more mystical realm. This opens the door to:

  • Vampires, werewolves, and demons

  • Magical weapons and curses

  • Ancient evils like Lilith, Mephisto, or Dracula

And with Avengers: Secret Wars looming, the supernatural corner may have a role to play in saving—or corrupting—the multiverse.

🎬 Final Thoughts

While we’re still waiting for official release dates for Blade and more Black Knight appearances, one thing is clear:

The supernatural side of the MCU is awakening, and it’s going to bring a darker, more mature energy into the universe.

Whether you’re into vampire slaying, cursed swords, or haunted heroes, the next few years of Marvel are going to be a wild ride.

Why Kang’s Variants Are More Dangerous Than Thanos

  🕰️ Why Kang’s Variants Are More Dangerous Than Thanos Ever since Thanos was dusted in Avengers: Endgame , fans have wondered who could possibly top The Mad Titan as the next big threat. The answer? Kang the Conqueror —or more accurately, his infinite variants . While Thanos was a nearly unstoppable cosmic warlord, Kang brings something even scarier to the table: mastery over time, technology, and multiple versions of himself , each more unpredictable than the last. Let’s break down why Kang’s variants are way more dangerous than Thanos ever was—and how the MCU is slowly building to a multiversal war of epic proportions. 🧠 Thanos: The Singular Threat Before we get to Kang, let’s give credit where it’s due. Thanos was a one-of-a-kind, calculated villain who beat the Avengers in Infinity War and only lost in Endgame due to some serious teamwork, time travel, and Tony Stark's sacrifice. He was brutal, powerful, and believed what he was doing was right—even if it meant w...
