Marvel Plans Chad Stahelski to Direct Blade Reboot

The long-anticipated Blade reboot from Marvel has faced numerous setbacks since its announcement in 2019, with Mahershala Ali cast as the lead. Originally directed by Bassam Tariq, the project saw multiple directors come and go, including Yann Demange and Cary Joji Fukunaga, due to script issues and creative differences. Recent reports suggest that Marvel is now considering Chad Stahelski, known for directing the John Wick series, to take over the project. Despite frustrations from Ali regarding the delays, co-star Mia Goth has expressed support for the development process, indicating Marvel's commitment to getting it right. The latest script drafts are attributed to Michael Green and Eric Pearson, with fans hoping that Stahelski's action-oriented style will finally bring Blade back to the big screen. Marvel has yet to comment on the potential hiring of Stahelski.
