All of us noticed this one coming, however Marvel has formally taken Blade off of its November 7, 2025 launch date.

It has been no secret that, for some cause, Marvel hasn’t fairly been capable of get its footing on the subject of Blade. The movie was first introduced 5 years in the past, with Mahershala Ali within the title function, and some years later Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige even confirmed the movie was going to be out in 2023. That clearly by no means occurred, and over time the directing and screenwriter roles modified palms so many instances it is not value itemizing all of them out, however the latest director connected Yann Demange left again in June, with Eric Pearson becoming a member of the undertaking to work on the movie’s script. And now, Marvel has taken it off of its 2025 launch date, with no new launch date in tow, clearly displaying there is not a lot confidence in it proper now.

Should you had been determined to see a movie on the precise launch day of November 7, 2025, there may be some excellent news no less than, as Disney has opted to launch twentieth Century Studios’ Predator Badlands on that day as an alternative. This one comes from Dan Trachtenberg, who beforehand helmed 2022’s Prey, a prequel Predator movie set in 1719 centered on a younger Comanche lady. I am positive Badlands will make it as much as all of the cinemagoers that needed to look at presumably a bit an excessive amount of violence unfold on the large display screen.

Whereas it has been a superb 20 years because the final official Blade movie, Blade: Trinity, the actor that initially performed him Wesley Snipes did seem because the character as soon as once more on this 12 months’s Deadpool & Wolverine. That individual MCU outing was an enormous ship as much as a number of Marvel movies produced at Fox, and went on to gross $1.3 billion on the field workplace, making it the very best grossing R-rated film of all time – the upcoming Blade is about to be R-rated too, however with all these hiccoughs, we’ll simply need to see the way it does.
