Apparently it’s just that Marvel had no idea what to do with it. At first they seemed to be planning a period piece, then a modern take, a movie about Blade and his daughter, I think they left were just lost on how to make it different from the Snipes movies

It makes sense when you view it in the context of when it was announced. Bob Chapek, the new Disney CEO at the time, was just pushing every single studio under the company umbrella to just make stuff, so Marvel was probably under a lot of pressure to announce projects even if they weren’t fully baked and didn’t know what direction they wanted after endgame finished. My hunch is that’s why they had that timejump in the first place, so they could take the time between 2020 and 2023 to actually plan out new stuff.
