I've known people to advocate Wesley Snipes reprising the role of Blade to canonize his films.

The Raimi trilogy is the MCU's forebear: Spider-Man 2 was the standard subsequent Marvel films aspired to. However, it could only have worked if Marvel took the risk of having Peter Parker retired by the events of The Avengers to raise "Mayday" elsewhere and made Miles Morales the resident teen Avenger.
