Any Hopes of This Movie Still Happening or Is It Essentially Dead at this Point?
At this point, in the year 2026, does anyone even know what the status of this movie is? We’ve heard NOTHING about this movie for months!!!
Pre-2025, I felt like every few months, we always got some sort of an update on the upcoming MCU Blade reboot. It was almost always an update on its development, like with new writers, director changes (no director is attached as of right now), budget changes, Mahershala Ali’s frustration, etc. I just feel like ever since this project was announce back in 2019, every update contradicts itself and it keeps re-entering development.
I have been excited for this movie since it was announced back in 2019 (SEVEN YEARS AGO)!!! I am a huge fan of Blade as a character. He is easily in my top 5 favorite Marvel characters. I’ve always wanted to see Blade in the MCU, so I was hyped when this was announced. But as each year passed and continues to pass, we get nothing but neutral-negative updates on this project. And since this project has been quiet with no updates for months, I now have doubts about it. Even when actors say they are still attached to the project (like Mia Goth back in October) and Kevin Feige confirming it’s in development, I think they are just telling us what we wanna hear at this point and this movie is dead. I know there were some reports from scoopers that this movie is dead and they are trying to introduce Blade either in “Avengers: Secret Wars” or in a Midnight Sons movie, but until Marvel, Disney, and/or Kevin Feige say otherwise, I am taking it with a grain of salt.
It’s sad since this should NOT be a hard project to do. In fact, Blade is a very straightforward character to write and do in my opinion. If Marvel could make three Blade movies from 1998-2004 (before the MCU), they can do it in today’s world. My only explanation for why it’s taking so long is that they don’t know how to explain where vampires have been in the MCU this whole time and tying it into the Blip, other characters, the universe already being established for nearly two decades now, etc. However, I might not be a writer or a producer in Hollywood, but I can think of at least 3 ways to explain where vampires have been in the MCU.
I’d love to know what people think:
\-Do you still have confidence that Marvel will get this made or is it dead/cancelled?
\-Does Mahershala Ali still seem committed to it or he’s just telling us what we wanna hear?
\-How big of a reset do you think the movie is going through (if it even is)?
\-And if it does happen, do you think it’ll still connect to the larger MCU or become more of a standalone elseworlds type project?
\-Or will it be like “The Fantastic Four: First Steps”, where Blade is in a new universe separate from the MCU but he somehow crosses over into the MCU similar to what was teased in “Thunderbolts\*” and will eventually see in both upcoming Avengers movies? I know that wouldn’t make sense considering he had an off screen voice cameo in “Eternals”, but they could retcon it to be someone else.
\-Do you think this project will happen but Mahershala Ali will eventually step down from the project and they are going to move forward with a new actor?
\-Do you think this project has quietly been cancelled?
Curious what the overall sentiment is here. Do you all still hope, or has this movie basically flatlined?
