Marvel has plenty of projects bound to be released in the next few years, and we know that most of these projects have been stuck in a sort of limbo due to the historic SAG-AFTRA strike that paralyzed the whole industry as a whole, causing plenty of projects to be both delayed or altogether canceled. 

One extremely anticipated Marvel Studios project that had problems way before the strikes began is ‘Blade.’ It is an MCU-based movie following Eric Brooks, the most notable vampire hunter in comics, and a reboot of the already highly popular ‘Blade’ trilogy that contributed to paving the way for the MCU that we know today. 

Next to nothing is known about the ‘Blade’ movie besides the fact that Mahershala Ali proposed the project and will be playing the titular vampire hunter. The movie was originally supposed to come out in 2023, but the release date was pushed all the way to 2025 (so far) due to Ali not exactly being happy with the script.

Several names were attached to the film before anything concrete was known one of them was Aaron Pierre in an undisclosed role. Now Variety reports that Pierre is no longer involved with the project as per his own words:

Early on, there were conversations. As the project evolved, I’m no longer part of that — attached.

This is just one of countless changes in the movie. A few months ago rumor was going around that Mahershala Ali dropped out of the project completely due to the movie facing delays once again before eventually releasing a statement that he is fine with the story so far and sticking with the project. Apparently, Michael Green was hired to do rewrites and they are aiming to conserve the “R” rating under any means necessary, something that Demange stated even several months ago.

A couple of days ago, rumors spread that ‘Blade’ is no longer a period piece and that the story has undergone changes again, there’s also talk that the filming location is being moved to London.
