Marvel‘s reboot of the Blade film franchise has been removed from its calendar listing its slate of films planned for release in 2025.
According to Variety, on Tuesday (Oct. 22), news of the film being pushed back surfaced, continuing a succession of false-starts and delays of the anticipated project since it was first announced over five years ago.
Blade‘s delay is largely speculated as a byproduct of director Yann Demange’s departure from the film this past June, as well as Disney CEO Bob Iger’s recent declaration that Marvel will only release three movies per year for the foreseeable future.
Predator: Badlands, the sixth film in the popular franchise, is now listed to arrive on the Blade reboot’s previous release date of Nov. 7, 2025.
Starring Mahershala Ali, the reboot of Blade was first announced in 2019 at San Diego Comic-Con after Ali pitched Marvel President Kevin Feige on the idea of taking on the role of Eric “Blade” Brooks in a reboot himself.
However, the project has been subjected to numerous roadblocks in recent years, beginning with the COVID pandemic and continuing with the departure of Bassam Tariq, the first director to helm production over the film, in 2022.

This resulted in the film’s intended release date of November 2023 being pushed back to September 2024. Another roadblock occurred when Marvel suspended pre-production for Blade following the 2023 WGA strike, pushing the movie back again to November 2025.
While fans awaiting the Blade reboot are likely unpleased with the latest development regarding the project, with Marvel listing three untitled film releases on the calender for 2028, hope still remains that we’ll get to see the reprisal of the franchise in the years to come.
