Screenwriter David Goyer (Blade) had the following to say to Comics 2 Film about the upcoming Black Panther film, set to star Weseley Snipes:

As has been reported in the past, Goyer and Snipes are hoping to do Black Panther at some point in the future. However, Blade is the top priority for now. "We both agreed it would make the most sense to table things until Blade 2 is underway. No doubt we will have more discussions during production."

The Black Panther movie would provide a change of pace from the grim, supernatural themes of Ghost Rider and Blade. "We both would like for it to have a different feel than the Blade films. The Black Panther is a very regal character, with absolutely no shred of self-loathing -- the opposite of Blade in many ways."
