Marvel Studios has encountered challenges in launching the Blade reboot, starring Mahershala Ali, as it has gone through various writers and directors. However, actor Mia Goth, also part of the Blade cast, believes this extended process is beneficial. In a discussion with Elle, she emphasized the importance of getting it right, stating, “They want to do it right.”
Blade’s Journey: From Announcement to Reboot
The film was initially announced in the summer of 2019, with Mahershala Ali attached to portray the titular character originally brought to film by Wesley Snipes. Snipes’ portrayal of Blade has received significant attention in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), including roles in Deadpool and Wolverine.
Challenges and Roadblocks
Since its announcement, the Blade reboot has faced numerous hurdles in development. The original concept, featuring a flashback to the early 20th century, was eventually scrapped. The period costumes designed for this idea were repurposed for Ryan Coogler’s project, Sinners. Despite these setbacks, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige assures that the film is still in the works.
