Marvel’s BLADE is reportedly on track to film next year

Last week the long-awaited Marvel event Lama the film was removed from Disney’s release schedule. This has left fans wondering what the status of the film is, especially since the studio has yet to announce a new director.

Hollywood fuck Daniele Richtmann recently shared that the film is still on track to begin production in the UK in 2025. He also added that it will be “dark and R-rated” and will have a “lower budget than other recent Marvel films.”

The report also states that a new script for the film is currently being worked on.

The last draft of the screenplay was by Eric Pearsonwho is the sixth writer to have been asked to work on the project. Previous writers include Michele Verde, Stacy Osei-Kuffour, Michael Starbury, Beau De Mayo AND Nic Pizzolatto.

As for a new director, Marvel has met with several potential talents and Jeymes Samuel he is said to have “impressed the bigwigs at Marvel”. Samuel has already directed the Netflix western The harder they falland the recent revisionist religious epic The Book of Clarence.

Mahershala Ali is still tied to the film and Marvel President Kevin Feige recently spoke about the rating, saying:

“Over the last few years, as we’ve been trying to make the film, the most important thing for us is not to rush. And making sure we get the Blade movie right.

“There have been some great ones Lama movies years ago… they were all rated R. So I think it’s intrinsic, like Deadpool, inherent to Blade’s character.

As for why the film took so long to develop, Feige compared the delays to this Deadpool and Wolverinesaying they’re just waiting for “the magic thing to fall into place.”

He said: “It’s part of the process. And when you have a famous character like Blade and a famous actor like Mahershala, everything that happens gets a lot of attention.

“I’m sure you’ve heard us talk about how we were struggling to find the perfect reason for Deadpool to exist, for the third Deadpool movie in the MCU, and then Hugh Jackman called, and everything fell into place.

“Sometimes you need that magical thing to fall into place. And sometimes it happens, sometimes it takes a day. Sometimes it takes two years. Sometimes it takes 10 years. But that’s what you should really wait for, until you accomplish something.

Ali’s last update on the project was: “We are working on it. That’s the best I can tell you. I’m really encouraged by the direction of the project. I think we will return to this topic relatively soon.”

“I’m genuinely encouraged as far as the situation and who’s on board and who’s leading the way as far as script writing and directing and everything else. So that’s all I can tell you.

This is a project Marvel isn’t giving up on, it’s just a project they’re trying to figure out and get done.
