​Tonight on Blu's News, we dissect the corporate strategy, the data vacuum, and the troubling optics surrounding Marvel's shifting priorities—from Wonder Man to the ongoing stagnation of Mahershala Ali's Blade.

When Marvel Studios released Black Panther in 2018, it was celebrated as a historic cultural watershed moment. But nearly a decade later, a troubling pattern has emerged across the Marvel Cinematic Universe: Wakanda serves as a corporate shield while the rest of Marvel's Black catalog gets relegated to sidekick duty, stripped of depth, or quietly shelved altogether.
​In this episode of Blu’s News, we break down the business, the culture, and the narrative receipts behind the MCU's treatment of Black heroes—from Rhodey's retconned agency and Monica Rambeau's interdimensional exile to the sudden cancellation of Yahya Abdul-Mateen II's Wonder Man.
