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.
