Marvel may have had serious complications on some of its shoots, but perhaps none of them suffered as much as the attempt to revive the character of Blade in the company’s new cinematic universe. A production produced by the double Oscar winner, Mahershala Aliwho had to change director and screenwriter several times due to failure to find the necessary key to guarantee an entry level for the role in the MCU (Marvel Cinematographic Universe). On the executive side, they always wanted to remain calm, without any rush in matters of intellectual property, but blade fans They are starting to get a little fed up with the creative skepticism that the film is generating at all levels, with real concern about a hypothetical departure of the main actor which could really put a damper on the development of the project. With all this media buzz, Kevin Feige wanted to return to reassure the wondersensuring their complete confidence that the feature film will eventually move forward.
On the other hand, it is completely normal that the role created by Marv Wolfman and Gene Colan is not currently a priority in the brand’s short-term plans. The ecosystem of films and series from the house of ideas is experiencing a period of transformation derived from its recent failures both in theaters and on the small screen. A creative crisis which forced the studio to take an important turn in its strategic planning, rehiring the Russo brothers to direct the new Avengers film and bringing back actor Robert Downey Junior, this time to bring to life to the evil Doctor Doom. Added to all this is the reduction in the label’s annual production proposed by the CEO Bob Igerwhere Disney would require the studio to release a maximum of three films per year and three series for its streaming service. But all that doesn’t mean Feige wanted to deliver a hopeful update for fans of Blade at the J23 which took place in Brazil last weekend.
Hope for Blade fans
Feige was present at the conference held a few hours ago in Brazil, supporting the main news of the UCM and its new promotional advances. From the new trailer for Captain America: Brave New World promotional material that allows us to know a little more about the Love at first sight. Likewise, the boss of the house of ideas responded to the media by talking about the new delay in the release schedule suffered by the reboot with Ali.
The character has yet to make a real physical appearance yet. Even though we hear his voice in the post-credits scene of Eternals. A film which, on the other hand, somewhat marked the beginning of the decline of the new UCM in the era after the Infinity Saga and which, to our knowledge, will end without a sequel. A first foray a little “damn” for the superhero Eric Brooks which did not leave Blade fans satisfied at all. Fortunately, Feige has updated the development by providing a certain amount of security regarding the future formalization of the project:
“We are committed to Blade. We love the character, we love Mahershala’s version. And rest assured, any time we change the direction of a project or are still trying to figure out how it fits into our schedule, we let the public know. They are informed of what is happening. But I can say that the character will come in the MCU.
A popular role thanks to Wesley Snipes
In the vignettes, Blade made his first appearance in “Dracula’s Tomb” in 1973. He is a half-human hybrid vampire, who became extremely popular in the 90s thanks to the trilogy of films in which he starred. Wesley Bécassines. And the film industry is so changeable that we won’t have been able to see Ali debut the character, but instead saw Snipes’ momentary return to the role during his appearance last summer in Deadpool and Wolverine.
We can see Ali in 2025 in Jurassic World: Renaissance And BladeWell, we will surely have to wait until next 2025 to have an official release date again and find out if part of the cast that had been built with names like Delroy Lindo And Mia Gothic They are always ready to face the shoot.
