Marvel's Blade Reboot Stuck in Creative Limbo

David S. Goyer, the original Blade trilogy screenwriter, has voiced frustration and confusion over the persistent production delays and creative challenges facing Marvel Studios' Blade reboot, which was first announced in 2019. Despite Mahershala Ali remaining officially attached to the project, the film has no scheduled release and is stuck in creative limbo, with the departure of multiple writers and directors over the years. Wesley Snipes’ recent cameo as Blade in Deadpool & Wolverine has further complicated the reboot’s development, sparking renewed interest in Snipes’ portrayal. Goyer, while flattered by fan calls for his return, feels he may have already defined the character but is not entirely opposed to revisiting it. The uncertainty surrounding Blade's release casts doubt on its place in the broader MCU timeline, especially as major projects like Avengers: Secret Wars approach. Marvel has not provided an updated production timeline despite ongoing setbacks.
