Overview

• Disney pulled Blade from its November 2025 slot in October 2024, leaving the project off the studio’s release calendar indefinitely.
• The film has lost at least two directors and cycled through multiple writers, with Eric Pearson and Nic Pizzolatto now drafting the screenplay.
• David S. Goyer offered to assist on the reboot but was turned down after Marvel said it had “cracked it” without his input.
• Mahershala Ali has remained attached to star as the Daywalker and has publicly stated he is ready to begin filming.
• Kevin Feige has emphasized Marvel’s commitment to Blade and its mature, R-rated approach as the studio carefully retools the project.
