I think the Reyes Ghost Rider could support a general release individually. Including Blade would just sweeten the pot adding value and options. They could do a specific modern comic look (a small piece man thing has sort of attached itself to him as a sidekick) and just say "hey obviously we're going to release a Blade again, just not this version" and be done with it. I don't think anyone thinks they'll never release another Silver Surfer because of the Galactus Haslab.
I think it would have been a strong value add, especially if it was included in the base, but I get not wanting to trade the potential "unreleasable otherwise" figures for a character that is definitely able to survive at retail.
As far as Mahershala goes, this seems like a passion project for him, from what I understand he basically used the momentum from his Oscar win to push this movie specifically, he isn't the factor in the movie I'm worried about. Cruise seems to be doing fine with Mission Impossible, Daniel Craig in Bond, Arnold was still putting out good stuff into his late 40s, I think Mahershala will be able to hang. My bigger worry was that they attached a director who hasn't done really anything, let alone an action movie, and that Marvel is gonna turn it into a CGI fest. Get Gareth Evans from The Raid on this, then we could really be cooking with gas.
That all said, of all the ways the Blade movie could suck, ending up like a lazy late era Seagal movie is probably the best way it could suck.
