Just when you think it can’t get any worse for Marvel, it becomes crystal clear that fate has other plans for the franchise. Captain America: Brave New World looks likely to face the crushing weight of the rumors that reshoots have come at a significant cost to the film.
While Kevin Feige & Co. would be hoping for a miracle, an old star, who played one of the series’ better villains, believes that Marvel is finally on the right track, and could very well leave all the bad times behind. That is just how Michael B. Jordan is.

Michael B. Jordan has a lot on his plate – ranging from his second directorial venture, a remake of The Thomas Crown Affair, to Ryan Coogler‘s, Sinner. That also means he doesn’t have a lot of time to spare for his personal life. But he has no qualms.
While the Thomas Crown Affair star has taken up a huge chunk of his time, he couldn’t be more excited for the same. After all, Creed III might have kickstarted his career, but it will be too early to judge whether he is here to stay.

Giving an insight into his experience, he said,
I’ve got a couple of deadlines I need to hit to wrap up the end of the year before the town goes on break. There is a whole new set of questions the second time around. The second time might be harder than the first. Now you have expectations. Now it’s like, Can you do it again? (GQ)

While that is proving to be an interesting affair, his next, Sinners, has generated a lot of interest from the fans. Its trailer was also a hit with fans, a testament to how they have bought into the movie’s vibe.

Sinners boasts of a stellar cast, including the likes of Michael B. Jordan, Hailee Steinfeld, Li Jun Li, Omar Benson Miller, Jayme Lawson, and Wunmi Mosaku. And it has been some time since fans have got a glimpse of a worthwhile story about vampires. Something many believed that MCU’s Blade would do.

Long ago, Mahershala Ali was unveiled as Blade in the MCU. Since that day, many of the projects that day have come to fruition (including movies in which characters were not unveiled at the time).
Marvel Studios’ inability to launch Blade might be symptomatic of the turmoil the franchise has been experiencing since the culmination of the Infinity Saga. However, Michael B. Jordan thinks the MCU is on the right track.
He said,
[Marvel’s] doing great. They’ll get it back.
While he couldn’t agree more with the fact that Blade is long overdue, he knows that it isn’t an easy task by any means. He continued,
Launching any franchise, it’s tough. I hope it gets together. I want to see a Blade movie, you know what I’m saying? The Blade franchise was everything.

Kevin Feige is aware of this reality. But for now, his eyes are set on the prize – the Avengers movies all set to hit theatres over the next few years. And how Captain America: Brave New World, which releases on February 14th, fares. The Black Panther star on the other hand must be waiting for 18th April for his best to hit the theatres.
