Blade (1998) proved a Marvel character could carry a film five years before X-Men and a decade before Iron Man. The trilogy is dated in places, mostly the early-2000s CG, but the first two hold up as lean action horror. Trinity does not, and its making-of story is more entertaining than the film.
One order, one timeline, no reboots: Blade, Blade II, Trinity, then the 2006 TV series if you want more of the same mythology on a cable budget. The Mahershala Ali reboot has been announced and delayed so many times it has become its own genre of news item.
