Marvel Studios’ ‘Blade’ has been removed from its November 2025 release date with no new date announced. The project has faced multiple delays, going through two directors and at least six writers since its announcement five years ago. ‘Predator: Badlands’ will now take the release slot previously held by ‘Blade,’ marking the franchise’s return to theaters after ‘Prey’ (2022) succeeded on Hulu. ‘Blade’ still lacks a director and has not started filming, though Mahershala Ali remains attached to star as the titular character.
