Marvel's Blade Movie Reboot Receives 'Perfect' Working Title

Marvel Studios has made two mass project announcements since initially revealing Phase 4 at San Diego Comic-Con in 2019. The first came at 2020's Disney Investor Day, and the second followed on 2021's Disney+ Day, but even across those events, details remain vague on one film from the initial Phase 4 reveal: Blade​​​​​​.

Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige concluded his 2019 Comic-Con presentation in dramatic fashion as he brought out Academy Award winner Mahershala Ali to announce him as the star of the MCU's Blade, a moment that shocked everyone.

But as that moment nears its third anniversary, there appears to have been minimal movement, at least publicly, regarding the production of Blade. The reboot has picked up a few cast members, founds its head writer in Stacy Osei-Kuffour, and brought on Bassam Tariq to direct, and yet there is still no sign of a release date.

Even with no public progress on the production of his solo debut, that's not to say Marvel Studios has Blade himself on the sidelines. Mahershala Ali made a vocal appearance in Eternals to deliver a warning to Kit Harrington's Dane Whitman and will reportedly return later this year in the Werewolf by Night Halloween Special on Disney+.

Almost three years after its announcement, Blade appears to be nearly ready to step in front of the cameras as shooting looks to be beginning soon.

The Cosmic Circus exclusively reported that Marvel Studios' Blade will be produced under Standoffish Productions LLC while using Perfect Imprints as one of its working titles.

The report also stated that Mahershala Ali's Blade is currently planned to begin filming in July 2022 in Atlanta.

Blade has yet to set an official release date, but the vampire hero recently made his first vocal appearance in the post-credits scene of Eternals.

How Doctor Strange 2 Sets Up Chris Evans' MCU Return

Image
Avengers: Endgame was the end of an era, particularly in terms of the MCU's original leaders: Robert Downey Jr.'s Iron Man and Chris Evans' Captain America. But while audiences witnessed the end of Downey's Tony Stark, Cap's current status is still up for debate. In the years following the 2019 film, there have been rumors hinting at Chris Evans' MCU return; and if he was ever going to make a comeback, Marvel Studios' Doctor Strange 2 doesn't just offer one possibility, but several.   Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness isn't just a sequel to Benedict Cumberbatch's 2016 origin film, but also a continuation of the Multiversal events from  Spider-Man: No Way Home .  ADVERTISEMENT However, while No Way Home  brought characters from other universes and franchises into the MCU, Doctor Strange 2 looks to flip the script, whisking the former Sorcerer Supreme through different universes to face Variants of hims...

Next up on Marvel Studios' slate is Benedict Cumberbatch's  Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness . After the introduction of the Multiverse in Loki  and a little further elaboration in  Spider-Man: No Way Home , fans are now going to get to dive into the deep end with the upcoming Sam Raimi-directed feature. Who better to take such a tippy journey than the former Sorcerer Supreme himself? Of course, he won't be alone. One of the main new characters introduced this go-around is Xochitl Gomez's America Chavez. What makes her character unique is that not only does she hail from a different universe, but she's one of few beings who can travel between realities. ADVERTISEMENT While it's unclear what threat may be causing the titular madness, plenty of evidence has been pointing toward Elizabeth Olsen's Scarlet Witch being the guilty party. It seems the Darkhold she had been studying after  WandaVision  may not have had the b...
