Summary created with AI assistance · Source: independent.co.uk
  • Ali was announced as Blade’s star in 2019 and says he has moved on after seven years of production limbo.

  • The project lost directors Bassam Tariq in 2022 and Yann Demange in 2024, while its planned November 2025 cinema release was later removed from Marvel’s schedule.

  • The film also had to contend with the pandemic and Hollywood’s 2023 strikes.

  • Marvel boss Kevin Feige acknowledged in July 2026 that he felt like a major loser and failure over Blade’s collapse.
  • Again, you had me under contract, they have billions of dollars, if they wanted to do the movie, we would’ve done the movie. So we’re not doing the movie.
