Hey folks! Let’s clear one thing up: there’s no need to worry about Marvel’s ‘Blade’ getting canceled. I know there have been rumors whirling around. However, don’t let them get you down. Kevin Feige, the big man at Marvel, made it clear that the project is still in the works.
Here’s the scoop: They plan to start shooting ‘Blade’ on November 1st. Yes, you heard that right, this date was setup quite some time ago, and there’s no sign that they will cancel it. So, rest easy, ‘Blade’ fans.
Now, I get it, some of you may be feeling a little edgy over the director situation. Renowned directors like Yann Demange and Bassam Tariq left the project. Yes, that’s unfortunate, but would Marvel let ‘Blade’ go down without a fight? Absolutely not!
Guess what, they’ve been evaluating from a handful of talented filmmakers for the job. Word has it, they might have even settled on one. Keep your eyes peeled for their surprise announcement soon.
You might have heard the name Jeymes Samuel. You know him? He’s the director of “The Harder They Fall” on Netflix, and there’s buzz indicating that he may pick up the helm of ‘Blade’. His previous film, “The Book of Clarence,” didn’t do too well, but who’s to say he can’t hit big with ‘Blade’?
And, stop yourself if you thought Jordan Peele would step in as the director because Mahershala Ali, our own Blade, followed him on Instagram. As much as that would be exciting, Peele hasn’t been part of any talks with Marvel. Let’s stick to facts, guys!
Let’s move to some really cool news now. Eric Pearson, the sixth writer to put pen to the script, seems to have hit the mark. His version of ‘Blade’ has satisfied everyone involved. Finally!
For those new to this, ‘Blade’ was initially announced five years ago at San Diego’s ComicCon. It’s been a bumpy ride with countless delays due to COVID, strikes, casting problems, and script hiccups. Also, there’s a big change – instead of setting it in the 1920s, Blade will now be slicing through vampires in the present day!
Star Mahershala Ali, though a bit vexed by the ruckus, is on board to play the fearsome Blade. Alongside him, Mia Goth will be ‘Lilith’, a vampire thirsty for Blade’s daughter’s blood. The cast did face some shake-ups with Aaron Pierre and Delroy Lindo bowing out, but the show must go on!
So that’s the roundup, people. If things stay on track, we’ll be watching ‘Blade’ unfold on the big screens come November 7, 2025. Stick around, we’ll keep you updated with all things ‘Blade’!
