Earlier today, Deadline published an extensive report on what fans should expect from this weekend's San Diego Comic-Con, and a couple of very interesting details seem to have flown under the radar.
When breaking down the potential projects Marvel Studios will likely showcase during their Hall H panel, the trade refers to the upcoming MCU Blade reboot as "The Blade," and the planned X-Men project as "The Mutants."
This isn't the first time we've heard The Mutants mentioned as a possible title for the studio's elusive X-Men reboot (the rumor did the rounds last year, and appears to have been confirmed), and while calling the Daywalker's next movie The Blade may seem like an odd choice, it would be one way to differentiate the project from the original trilogy starring Wesley Snipes.
This doesn't make either title official, of course, but Deadline has been known to drop these kind of reveals in Comic-Con previews over the years, so it's definitely worth keeping an eye on as we head into the weekend.
Even if we don't get any significant updates on these particular projects, we're hearing that the first trailer for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is all-but guaranteed. We will also likely see some new footage from She-Hulk, and hopefully first looks at other Disney+ shows, but the studio is expected to save quite a few major announcements for D23 - so probably best not to get your hopes up for that big Secret Wars confirmation!
What do you guys make of these developments? Would you be happy with those titles for the Blade and X-Men reboots? Drop us a comment down below.
