Disney has reshuffled another Marvel Studios movie, and this change made for a long time affects Marvel’s ‘Blade.’ Initially, it was expected to be out on November 7, 2025. This announcement comes at the heels of some significant announcements from the studio, which has reportedly decided to push for the release date of 20th Century Studios’ ‘Predator: Badlands.’ Once heralded as a look forward to the project, ‘Blade’ now limps in with the uncertainty of its existence.
The movie, which will reinvent the legendary persona first represented by Wesley Snipes, has Mahershala Ali as the protagonist. That being said, ‘Blade‘ was only announced at San Diego Comic-Con in 2019, but the global crisis has dramatically delayed the project and its creation. The grind also stems from a series of strikes by writers in the company that held up the script in the first place. Unfortunately, when the film was first made, it was planned to be directed by Bassam Tariq.
Nevertheless, with Tariq gone, it was handed over to Yann Demange to start directing the movie. The most encouraging news about Blade is that the lady who acted in the new film A Cure for Wellness, Mia Goth, will portray the supervillain named Lilith. The President of Marvel Studios said he would only make a movie like Blade if he had the best script, which guarantees the audience something different. This decision alone proves the studio seeks not just a film at par but one that will reignite the franchise.
Blade appeared in this year’s Deadpool & Wolverine, which was good at the box office at $1.3 billion. This cameo will generate interest in the character, but mainly from the long-time fans eagerly awaiting his return. As the first of the R-rated superhero movies, the Blade trilogy’s first installment was a groundbreaking release in the late 1990s. The first installment of the series Blade came out in 1998. Blade II followed in 2002, and Blade: Trinity, the final installment, came out in 2004. The series made about $418—1 million worldwide.
After the revelations above, Disney has announced that the three untitled Marvel films will be released on February 18, 2028, May 5, 2028, and November 10, 2028. According to this series, the Marvel Cinematic Universe is still in full swing. Fans anticipate Blade, the iconic character, returning promptly.
