The MCU's upcoming Blade movie has been plagued with production issues, but a good Blade movie shouldn't be hard to make. Blade follows Eric Brooks, a human/vampire hybrid who hunts down other vampires in an attempt to eradicate them all. The Blade reboot to be set in the MCU was first announced in 2019. The new Blade movie starring Mahershala Ali is expected to be released in November 2025 and will be the first Blade movie since Blade: Trinity came out in 2004.
Marvel Already Knows The Best Way To Make Blade A Vampire Killer Killing Vampires Is Perfectly Simple Close Mahershala Ali has the challenge of following in the footsteps of Wesley Snipes, whose take on the iconic daywalker in the original Blade trilogy still holds up to this day. The Oscar-winning actor has proven time and again that he is more than up for it, but for some reason, Marvel Studios is having a hard time getting the highly-anticipated film off the ground.
The woes didn't end there, though. There were also rumors of Mahershala Ali being unhappy with the production of the movie and ready to leave the project altogether. That didn't happen, and he is pleased with the direction the movie is taking now. Because of these issues, Blade was pushed back an entire year from its original release date of November 2023.
