Summary
It has been five years since Mahershala Ali was announced asBlade , and followingDeadpool & Wolverine , theMarvel Cinematic Universegets a new way to see how it could fix the movie ’s issue . I think Ali is the arrant choice for Blade , but the actor is already 50 , and since the movie was announced , Bladehas switched theatre director , writers , and even actors . Ali is not getting any untested , and I think we have yet to see a concrete sign that theMCU ’s Blade rebootis in the end on the correct rail after geezerhood of takings .
At least when Marvel Studios latterly changed some movie dates , Bladeremained in its current November 2025 slot . That kick in me desire the movie will make the particular date ; however , I ca n’t help but think Marvel will later announce thatBladeis moving again . With plenty of issues to get the movie ’s floor right on , I think Marvel can useBlade ’s star - stud castin a different way . There are a few paths Marvel could take to rework the moving-picture show to make Mahershala Ali’sBladea hit , andDeadpool & Wolverineoffers a great resolution to the film ’s troubles .
Though production on the film has been chevy with delays and crew changes , the MCU ’s Blade reboot is still very much gestate to go on .

I’d Love To See A Blade Team-Up Movie With Mahershala Ali And Wesley Snipes
Marvel Could Use The Multiverse While It’s Here
Wesley Snipes , the original cinematic Blade histrion , returned as his version of the lineament inDeadpool & Wolverine . Snipes calculate neat in the role , not missing a beat as Blade . The movie showed that he can still deliver the same classic gas constant - grade military action and snarky dialogue his Blade became know for . After such an exciting execution , I want to see more of Snipes ' Blade , and I suppose the MCU could take advantage of the Multiverse Saga and ten-strike while the branding iron is raging , reworking Mahershala Ali ’s Blade movie to be a team - up with snipe .
BeforeDeadpool & Wolverine , rooter were already comparing Snipes to Ali without a single minute of footage of the MCU actor in the function . After the movie , snipe ' public presentation led to some thinking he should get a newfangled movie , with Ali’sBladecanceled . I disagree with the latter , but I think a Snipes Blade moving picture could be what the MCU want , serving as a formal passing game of the baton from Snipes to Ali . The MCU ’s Blade will be R - tell on , so it could be theLogan - comparable Blade moving-picture show Ryan Reynolds suggested for Snipes , which I would love to see .
Ryan Reynolds has suggested an thought for a final Blade solo movie with Wesley Snipes , and that history would be the perfect send - off for the Marvel hero .
Marvel Studios' Blade sees the return of the iconic vampire hunter more than two decades after Wesley Snipes first played the character in live-action. Starring Mahershala Ali as Eric Brooks, the Blade reboot officially introduces vampires to the Marvel Cinematic Universe after Eternals' second post-credits scene teased the Daywalker’s MCU debut.
Marvel Could Turn Blade Into My Most Anticipated MCU Team Movie: Midnight Sons
The MCU Has Been Slowly Moving Toward The Supernatural Team
Another way Marvel could rework the Blade movie if Snipes does n’t return is to transmute it into a true squad motion-picture show . There have been rumor that a Midnight Sons project will come soon , and I sure believe them , as Marvel has been slowly acquaint characters for the team . I love the Midnight Sons — and the excellentMidnight Sunsgame — and I am excited to see Marvel delve deep into the MCU ’s supernatural character and what they have to offer . Mahershala Ali ’s Blade pic could be rework into Blade being the drawing card of the Midnight Sons .
The film could focus on Blade place the team together , which could contribute back some fan favorites , instantly shine a limelight on the film and Blade . Major MCU characters likeBenedict Cumberbatch ’s Doctor Strange and Elizabeth Olsen ’s Scarlet Witch could become of import fellow member of the Midnight Sons . Oscar Isaac ’s Moon Knight is another strong rival for the team , with Kit Harington ’s Dane Whitman becoming the Black Knight in the movie . TheWerewolf by NightSpecial Presentation also introduced multiple possible Midnight Sons phallus . With Marvel ’s renewed focus on franchises after late woefulness , Bladeturning into Midnight Sons would make sense .
The MCU has enter many supernatural characters in recent years , and with the absence of superhero teams , the Midnight Sons could form soon .
As A Last Resort, I Think Marvel Could Save The Blade Movie For Phase 7
That Might Create A Key Problem Though
With the MCU moving toward its Avengers picture next class — product on at leastAvengers : Doomsdaystarts in 2025 — the timing might not be ideal for Ali’sBladereboot . I cogitate that after five twelvemonth of issues and withBladecurrently not having a director , the film could be taken off the release schedule and give a complete creative overhaul to fix it for a discharge in Phase 7 afterAvengers : Secret Wars . Ali ’s Blade could seem before then , debuting inAvengers : Doomsdayand play a function in multiple film before his Blade moving picture .
That said , I thinkBladebeing delayed to Phase 7 could potentially intend a recast will have to materialise . The MCU is rumored to go through a flabby reboot afterAvengers : Secret Wars . Ali would be at least 53 by then , and the thespian might be too old to play Blade for a 10 . While I would care to get at least a trilogy out of Ali as Blade , I translate that the movie ’s many delays might make it impossible , and if a recast could conduce to Marvel Studios’Bladefinally happening , then I would be all for it .
