Blade (2025)

Summary

Wesley Snipes shade off Mahershala Ali’sBladereboot as theMarvel Cinematic Universecontinues to develop the feature article film . In July 2019 , Marvel Studios and Ali announce at San Diego Comic - Con that he would be taking on the character of Blade , with the MCU set to boot the character that was previously played by snipe . However , the MCU audience was not prepared for the many creative issues that would followtheBlademovieover the next five years .

It was recently bring out that the MCU’sBlademovie has lost its 2nd director , with Yann Demange exiting the project . Three Day after , Snipes , who asterisk as Blade in his own trilogy , took to X ( formerly have it away as Twitter ) to on the face of it stab fun at the MCU ’s complicated situation with theBladereboot , sharing the followers :

The MCU ’s upcoming Blade movie is look for yet another new author , implore the doubt as to why development on Blade has been so unmanageable .

Should It Be This Complicated To Make A Blade Movie For The MCU?

Blade Has Already Received Three Movies

Up to this point , follow the 2019 announcement , Ali has only appear in the MCU as Blade through a vocalism - cameowhen he appeared off - screenduring 2021’sEternals . However , as it has almost been three year sinceEternalscame out , the MCU has not utilise Blade anywhere else . The further they get away from that motion picture , the less shock Ali ’s cameo with Kit Harington ’s Dane Whitman has . Many believed Dane would then show up in theBladefilm , but his official issue has not yet been announced .

Even though it makes sense that Marvel Studios wants to getBladeright , it also begs the question of how it could be this complicated for them to find a right story for him . If a creative squad were able to tell a wholeBladetrilogy from 1998 to 2004 , it truly should n’t be this complex for the MCU to set down on a advanced adaptation of the iconic Marvel hero for the vainglorious screen . Since the MCU has tackled dark stories and part in recent years , it does n’t apologise a lot of the creative problem they are experience with Ali ’s reboot .

It would n’t be shameful if they cease up pushingBladeuntil afterThe Multiverse Saga , especially as it is unlikely the originative squad will meet their November 2025 liberation date . In the meantime , it would be far more interesting tosee Ali appear as Blade in other MCU projectsbefore have center stage in his solo film . For now , time will assure if Marvel Studios will in reality land on a direction forBlade , particularly if they still desire to commence shooting it after this yr .
