Marvel’s upcoming Blade reboot has been going through all kinds of behind the scenes changes and delays, and The Wrap reports on another massive shakeup for the project tonight.
According to the site, director Yann Demange (“Lovecraft Country”) has departed Marvel’s new Blade movie, an “entirely amicable” split they say happened “a while ago.”
As you may recall, director Bassam Tariq (Mogul Mowgli) had previously exited the project back in September 2022, with Yann Demange stepping in to take over shortly after.
At this time, The Wrap notes that Eric Pearson (Fantastic Four) is working on the script, with Michael Starrbury, Nic Pizzolatto and Michael Green writing previous drafts.
Last we heard, Blade will daywalk into movie theaters on November 7, 2025, but it’s entirely possible that date could change in the coming months. Stay tuned for more.
Mahershala Ali is starring in Blade alongside Mia Goth (X, Pearl).
The vampire-slaying character was created by writer Marv Wolfman and artist Gene Colan, introduced in July 1973’s The Tomb of Dracula #10. Wesley Snipes played Blade across three films from 1998 through 2004, and he was played by Sticky Fingaz in a short-lived TV series.
