As Fans Criticize Disney Fumbling Wonder Man and Blade, Creator Acknowledges 'Important Conversations' About 'The Kind of Stories We're Prioritizing'
Wonder Man creator Andrew Guest has acknowledged the "important conversations" that fans are having following word of the show's cancellation, and after Blade star Mahershala Ali slammed Disney for fumbling Blade.
Marvel's Wonder Man and Blade shows have been canceled, sparking criticism from fans who feel the company is mishandling projects featuring Black actors. Creator Andrew Guest acknowledged the conversation surrounding the cancellations, expressing appreciation for the voices of fans and recognizing the importance of these issues.
Blade star Mahershala Ali harshly criticized Disney for failing to deliver his long-promised Blade reboot, while Wonder Man's creator noted that Marvel has made a "terrible look" for its support of projects starring Black actors. This situation has led fans to call for better care in the future, with numerous other projects featuring Black characters experiencing delays or poor reception.
Guest's acknowledgment of these conversations suggests that Marvel may still have live-action Disney+ shows planned, with only a few announced projects, such as Vision Quest and Daredevil: Born Again Season 3. However, the future of Marvel's movie projects remains unclear, with Black Panther 3 and Ryan Gosling's Ghost Rider set to release in 2028, followed by an X-Men reboot.
