In this episode of The ESE Files, we break down Blade’s ongoing production hell and why Marvel still doesn’t seem to know what kind of movie it wants to make. We ask the uncomfortable question fans keep avoiding: does Blade even need a solo movie anymore? And would a Midnight Suns debut actually be the smarter move?

Then we turn to a far bigger problem. A new report suggests movies could hit streaming just 17 days after theaters — and that one change could completely reshape how (and if) people go to the movies. If all you have to do is wait a couple of weeks, is the theater experience already doomed?

Plus:

• The God of War series finally casts Kratos

• Helldivers 2 proves live-service games don’t have to feel greedy

This isn’t just news — it’s a warning about where entertainment is headed.👇 Sound off in the comments:
