BLADE Started Marvel’s Movie Boom BEFORE Spider-Man?! #Shorts #Marvel #MarvelStudios #XMen

In BLADE (1998) In a sense, the movie led to the boom of Marvel Comics-based movies. Though later overshadowed by the 2000's more successful X-Men (2000) and Spider-Man (2002), Blade was the first Marvel movie to be a bona fide financial and critical success (Men in Black (1997) came out first but technically, it was more a property bought by Marvel than made by Marvel).
And granted, some productions such as the aforementioned Spider-Man had long been gestating, but the movie's success proved that Marvel characters could headline their own movies. #Blade #WesleySnipes #Marvel #MarvelMovies #SpiderMan #XMen #MCU #90sMovies #MovieFacts #Shorts
