We’re probably not seeing Blade any time soon. Production on Marvel’s troubled reboot has been stalled for years, with reams of directors and writers coming and going. The last we heard, the film had been taken off Marvel’s upcoming slate entirely. The studio just doesn’t seem to know what to do with the vampire hunter, at least when it comes to a solo outing. But despite rumors to the contrary, Marvel hasn’t officially given up, and the franchise may now have a prime opportunity to finally give Blade the platform he deserves.
After a string of misfires, Marvel is putting all its energy into the end of the Multiverse Saga. This messy chapter of the Marvel Cinematic Universe will culminate with Avengers: Secret Wars, a crossover involving heroes and villains from every corner of the multiverse. Over 60 characters could feature in the film and its predecessor, Avengers: Doomsday.
