Blade (2025)
Summary
TheBlademovie did not even pull in a mention at Marvel ’s San Diego Comic - Con control board . The upcomingBlademovie , whichwill star Mahershala Aliand will introduce the character to the Marvel Cinematic Universe , has been trapped in development hell for some time , and there seems to be little sign of the zodiac of a result . Though it was meant to begin filming in Summer 2023 , it has been unendingly delayed due to the SAG - AFTRA and WGA rap , production issues , and scheduling conflict .
At the MarvelSDCCpanel , whereScreen Rantwas in attendance , Kevin Feige and the Marvel Studios cast and crew shared details about legion projects , includingAvengers , Fantastic Four , andThunderbolts , butthey failed to remark Ali ’s slow - progressingBladereboot . There continues to be no word about its developing , and it may stay in Hollywood purgatory for the foreseeable futurity .
What Happened To The Blade Reboot?
Will Mahershala Ali’s Blade Ever Be Released?
When it was first announced , theBladerebootappeared to be a perfect fit for Marvel Studios . Ali is a brilliant and award - winning actor , having taken home two Academy Award for his work onMoonlight(2017 ) andGreen Book(2019 ) . Attaching the wizard to an already - proven dealership was a lifelike decision , given that the original motion-picture show earned over $ 415 million from 1998 to 2005 . Ali ’s reboot could easily have find his niche within the macrocosm , especially after the Marvel Cinematic Universe added a supernatural revulsion side to its population through theWerewolf by Nightspecial .
Though production on the film has been harry with delays and work party changes , the MCU ’s Blade reboot is still very much expected to go on .
unluckily , the production has been addled by a series of unfortunate issues . It was first announced in 2019 , and Ali was already attached to the labor . He was then introduced to the universe itself inEternals(2021 ) in a minor , off - blind cameo persona . There was an intention of postdate up with a picture , butEternalsunderperformed at the box office , take in only $ 400 million on a budget of over $ 200 million . That necessitated a retooling of Ali ’s own project , which beganBlade ’s painful journeying into developmental hell .
After earning a November 2023 release date , filming postponement plagued the movie and finally sparked the director electing to depart the project solely . The WGA and SAG - AFTRA strike delayed shoot further , and a 2nd theatre director left in June 2024 . While Marvel announced that the movie will be free on November 7 , 2025,it is unconvincing that Marvel will be capable to gather the deadlinewhile searching for a new managing director . WithBladestill struggling , Marvel ’s refusal to address the movie at the San Diego Comic - Con venire is a troubling sign of the zodiac of its future .
