Marvel Studios has removed the reboot of 'Blade,' starring Mahershala Ali, from its release calendar, originally scheduled for November 7, 2025, due to continued production delays and creative challenges. The film has experienced multiple setbacks, including the departure of directors Bassam Tariq and Yann Demange and numerous script rewrites, leading to speculation about its indefinite postponement. The movie's removal follows Disney CEO Bob Iger's statement that Marvel will limit its annual releases to three, with 'Blade' being the least advanced in production. Wesley Snipes, who originally played Blade, has recently reprised his role in a cameo in 'Deadpool & Wolverine,' sparking fan interest and disappointment over Ali's stalled project. 'Predator: Badlands' will replace 'Blade' on the release schedule, with Marvel also announcing three new films for 2028. Despite these challenges, Mahershala Ali remains optimistic about the project's future direction.
