He could play a similar role in the MCU, if the next incarnation of the team stumbles upon a vampiric threat that strengthened following the Snap. After working with other versions of the team over the years, Blade became a full-fledged member of the Avengers when the team was caught in the middle of a civil war between two factions of vampires, one led by Dracula. That's not to say there isn't precedent for Blade's mission hasn't led to him being a part of the wider Marvel Universe. A more logical debut for the Daywalker would have him operate on the fringes of the MCU, waging a war against the undead in secret. There's an outside chance Blade will make his MCU debut in Hawkeye, given he's one of the characters who used the Ronin identity. If nothing else, he might take an interest in the Tracksuit Draculas, if the show makes them literal vampires.

The surviving Avengers would be too busy trying to hold the planet together to be aware of any supernatural threats - and they wouldn't be in a position to do much about them anyway. It's difficult to imagine who would oppose them, given that efficient vampire hunter Doctor Strange was among those lost for five years. AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR Clip - 'Thanos vs Everybody' (2018) MarvelPLOT: Iron Man, Thor, the Hulk and the rest of the Avengers unite to battle their most power. Already natural predators of humanity, vampires would have grown stronger in a post-Snap world. They aren't technically alive, so the Snap wouldn't have cut their ranks in half. One population that would not have suffered from those consequences is vampires.
With humanity in survival mode, and many of its champions gone, some things inevitably fell by the wayside.
Cities fell into disrepair as those left behind were taxed to their limits.
That massive loss of created newfound unity among the survivors, but it also led to a near collapse of society. Thanos' snap famously eliminated half of all life in the universe. How Hulk Made The Snap Work: But how can the Infinity Gauntlet do the exact opposite of what Thanos had already used it.
