How ‘Agatha All Along’ Could Be Paving the Way for the Upcoming ‘Blade’ Movie

As many already know, Oscar-winner Mahershala Ali is set to star in Marvel Studios’ highly anticipated film Blade. However, with the project currently in a strange development phase, it’s hard to predict the outcome or even whether the movie will be released at all.

Fans are eager to see Blade come to life, but at this point, the studio’s decision is what truly matters. Despite the uncertainty, it seems Marvel hasn’t given up on the project. In fact, the recent success of Agatha All Along might be laying the groundwork for Blade‘s larger lore.

In Episode 4, titled “If I Can’t Reach You / Let My Song Teach You,” a character references a healing vampire bite, a clear nod to the Blade comics and further confirmation that vampires exist in the MCU. Could this be a sign of what’s to come? Read on to find out!

In the episode, the witch Lilia casually mentions a healed vampire wound, which at first seems like a throwaway line, but actually confirms several key things. We’re going to break down the deeper implications of this moment, which is more significant than it initially appears.

On the surface, this scene reaffirms the existence of vampires in the MCU—something that’s been hinted at or outright confirmed in several other projects, such as WandaVision, Loki, Eternals (featuring a Blade cameo), She-Hulk, Werewolf by Night, and Deadpool & Wolverine (where another Blade appearance occurs). So while this is the most obvious takeaway, it’s far from the most important detail in this scene.

Building on this, many fans speculate that this moment could serve as a subtle setup for the upcoming Blade movie, especially given the timing—when anticipation for the film is high. While the reference doesn’t establish the full Blade lore, it might be a key hint of what’s to come. But how?

Lilia’s vampire bite suggests that witches (and possibly werewolves) may be in conflict with vampires. Whether this is an isolated incident or part of a larger, systemic clash remains unclear. However, with Marvel’s next phase likely diving into the supernatural, this scene could play a crucial role in what’s ahead.

That’s why this moment carries more depth than it first appears—and why we’ve broken it down for you.
