Mahershala Ali's Blade reboot is generating excitement among Marvel Cinematic Universe fans, as a new fan trailer brings the upcoming movie to life. The MCU continues to expand its movie timeline with fresh heroes and villains, and Marvel Studios is gearing up to reintroduce Blade into their franchise. Starring Ali as the eponymous hero, this reboot marks the second live-action portrayal of the character on the big screen, following Wesley Snipes' earlier films in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
While the Blade movie is still in development, fans are eagerly speculating about what the reboot will entail within the MCU. A recent fan trailer by Teaser Pro, titled Blade: Hidden World, offers a glimpse into one fan's vision for the character's return.
The fan trailer for Blade: Hidden World delves into the existence of vampires in the MCU, with Ali's character striving to protect humanity from these supernatural beings. The trailer also hints at Jared Leto's Morbius potentially playing a significant role as one of the main antagonists in the hypothetical Blade storyline.
The Blade reboot was first announced at San Diego Comic-Con, where Kevin Feige introduced Ali as the new Blade. However, despite the initial excitement, the project has faced delays and challenges. The movie hit a roadblock after losing its director, Bassam Tariq, leading to a shift in production.
Subsequent delays ensued as Marvel Studios struggled to align on a creative direction that satisfied Ali, resulting in multiple script rewrites by various writers. Yann Demange is now set to direct the Blade reboot, with production reportedly slated to commence later this year.
As fans eagerly await updates on Blade, the fan trailer offers a glimpse into the potential narrative directions the movie could explore. With a scheduled release date of November 7, 2025, Blade is poised to join the lineup of upcoming Marvel movies, including Deadpool & Wolverine, Captain America: Brave New World, Thunderbolts, Fantastic Four, Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, and Avengers: Secret Wars.
Stay tuned for more updates on the Blade reboot as production progresses, and fans can look forward to witnessing Mahershala Ali's portrayal of the iconic half-vampire superhero in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
