Chances are you’ll need to be immortal in order to finally get to watch Marvel Studios’ Blade, following the inevitable news that the oft-delayed, long-gestating reboot has been removed from the release schedule.
Without a director since White Boy Rick‘s Yann Demange became the second filmmaker to leave the project after Mogul Mowgli‘s Bassam Tariq departed in 2022, Blade has been beset with problems since it was announced to much fanfare at 2019’s San Diego Comic-Con. A global pandemic, writers strikes, and multiple release date changes have led to the Mahershala Ali-headlined film being delayed indefinitely.
The endless setbacks have meant that since the film was first announced, the original Daywalker Wesley Snipes, who starred in the Blade trilogy between 1998 and 2004, has had time to reprise the role before it was rebooted by cameoing in Deadpool & Wolverine.
Blade‘s November 7, 2025 release date has been taken by Dan Trachtenberg’s latest Predator movie Badlands, which pits Elle Fanning against the iconic intergalactic hunter. Marvel weren’t just removing films from the schedule though, with the studio announcing MCU projects would be released on Feb 18, 2028, May 5, 2028 and Nov 10, 2028.
