Reimagining Marvel’s Blade
Marvel’s Blade was first announced in 2019, starring Mahershala Ali as the iconic vampire hunter. The character, previously portrayed by Wesley Snipes, has yet to see new life on screen. Several script versions have been considered, with the latest set in modern times.

- Previous script drafts depicted Lilith crossing paths with Blade in the 1920s.
- Marvel Studios has chosen a contemporary setting for Blade.
Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige emphasized the project’s delays are due to the need for a strong script. The aim is to avoid compromising the film’s quality or Ali’s portrayal of Blade. Feige highlighted the importance of having an exceptional script from the start.
Impact on Marvel’s Timeline
Marvel fans eagerly await Blade’s release, but the film’s debut remains uncertain. The studio is currently focused on upcoming projects, including two Avengers films, Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars, scheduled for December 2024 and December 2027, respectively.
Future Prospects
Ahead of Blade, Goth will feature in Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey” next year and “Star Wars: Starfighter” in 2027. Meanwhile, anticipation grows for future Marvel projects, such as the X-Men reboot, with Jake Schreier linked to direct.
