Overview
- Mia Goth said on the Happy Sad Confused podcast that she has no new information on Blade and that Marvel still appears to want to make the film.
- She recounted a scrapped 1920s iteration that advanced to an Atlanta chemistry test with Mahershala Ali plus costume and wig fittings, praising Ali’s “interesting take.”
- The period concept was dropped and the movie was removed from Marvel’s release calendar after several date changes from 2023 through a briefly held 2025 slot.
- Mahershala Ali and Goth remain attached, while reports note earlier attachments like Delroy Lindo and Aaron Pierre are no longer involved after years of director and writer turnover.
- Reporting also indicates wardrobe from the shelved version was repurposed for Ryan Coogler’s Sinners, as coverage points to Marvel prioritizing titles such as Spider-Man: Brand New Day and Avengers: Doomsday.
