Mia Goth has insisted Blade has been delayed because Marvel \u201cwants to do it right\u201d.<\/p>\n
The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) blockbuster was announced in 2019 and has suffered several setbacks after a slew of directors and writers have exited the project, but Goth – who will play villain Lilith in the film – has argued \u201cit\u2019s for the best\u201d that Marvel is taking its time on Blade.<\/p>\n
When Elle asked the 31-year-old actress about Blade\u2019s delays, she said: \u201cIt\u2019s for the best that it\u2019s taken the time that it has. They want to do it right.\u201d<\/p>\n
The MaXXXine actress added she had update on Blade\u2019s production.<\/p>\n
Blade is set to star Mahershala Ali as the titular vampire hunter, and the 51-year-old actor most recently said he didn\u2019t know \u201cwhere Marvel is right now\u201d with the movie.<\/p>\n
Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter, he said: \u201cI\u2019m just taking it a day at a time. I\u2019m doing the best work I can.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Jurassic World: Rebirth star pointed to his upcoming action flick Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother – which is being helmed by former Blade director Bassam Tariq – as a project that has scratched his \u201cstunts itch\u201d, though was still hoping the MCU movie would go ahead.<\/p>\n
He added: \u201cI would love for Blade to happen; we\u2019ll see, I don\u2019t know where Marvel is at right now. I\u2019m just looking for the next great part, I really am.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ali emphasised he was \u201cready\u201d for Blade.<\/p>\n
When Variety asked Ali for an update on the film, he said: \u201cCall Marvel. \u201cI\u2019m ready. Let them know I\u2019m ready.\u201d<\/p>\n
Blade was initially slated for release in November 2025, but was taken off Disney\u2019s release calendar in October last year – with Predator: Badlands taking its place.<\/p>\n
Around the same time, Marvel Studios announced three untitled films scheduled for February 18, May 5, and November 10, 2028.<\/p>\n
The Blade reboot has faced several setbacks, losing multiple writers and directors over the years.<\/p>\n
Both Bassam Tariq and Yann Demange were attached to direct the movie, though departed the project due to creative differences.<\/p>\n
True Detective creator Nic Pizzolatto had been brought on to write the script for Blade in May 2023, though reportedly parted ways with the project a year later – with the story said to be started again from scratch.<\/p>\n
Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige addressed the delays, noting that the creative team was \u201cstill trying to crack\u201d Blade and was determined not to rush development.<\/p>\n
He told BlackTree TV: \u201cFor the last two years as we\u2019ve been trying to crack that movie, the most important thing for us is not rushing it and making sure we are making the right Blade movie.\u201d<\/p>\n
Feige also confirmed that Marvel intends to maintain the character\u2019s darker tone and R-rating, much like the Deadpool series.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cThere were some great Blade movies years ago – they were all rated-R. So I think that\u2019s, like Deadpool, inherent with the character of Blade.\u201d<\/p>\n
Currently, the screenplay for Blade is being written by Thor: Ragnarok writer Eric Pearson.<\/p>\n
Although no director is officially attached at the moment, John Wick filmmaker Chad Stahelski was previously said to be in talks to helm the project.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
