The Blade Movie Reboot: Setbacks, Challenges, and Updates


The Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Blade movie reboot seems to be facing a series of setbacks, with the recent departure of yet another director, Yan Deage. This follows the exit of previous director Boson Tariq back in 2022. The project has seen multiple writers working on the script, indicating a turbulent creative process.

The film’s projected release date of November 7th, 2025, remains unchanged despite these challenges. Actor Mahershala Ali is still attached to the project as the lead, but there seems to be a lingering uncertainty surrounding the production, as highlighted by former Blade star Wesley Snipes’ cryptic comments on Twitter.

While fans were initially excited about the reboot announced in 2019, questions have arisen about the necessity of rebooting a successful franchise like Blade. Wesley Snipes, who portrayed the character in the original series, remains enthusiastic about the role and in good shape to potentially reprise it in the MCU.

In other entertainment news, PlayStation Studios has announced the cast for the film adaptation of the Until Dawn video game, with new actors taking on roles that build upon the game’s storyline. This decision leaves room for the original cast to possibly make cameo appearances in the adaptation.

Additionally, exclusive images of Deadpool and Wolverine from Total Film have been revealed, teasing a potential crossover between the two characters in a post-apocalyptic setting.

As the Blade movie reboot navigates through its challenges, fans can only speculate on the future of the project and whether it will meet its scheduled release date. The entertainment world is abuzz with anticipation for these upcoming adaptations and crossovers, promising exciting developments for fans of the Marvel universe and beyond.
