- Blade has seen numerous delays since its original announcement in 2019 at San Diego Comic Con.
- Two directors, including Bassam Tariq and Yann Demange have been attached to the project and have both since exited.

- The film is currently being penned by Marvel veteran Eric Pearson, following previous drafts written by Micheal Starrbury, Nic Pizzolatto, and Michael Green.
- Marvel Studios also has three untitled movies dated for February 18th, 2028, May 5th, 2028 and November 10th, 2028.
- Meanwhile, Predator: Badlands, which serves as a follow-up to the Hulu Original, Prey, will instead come to theaters on Blade’s previous release date.
- Directed by Prey director Dan Tratechenberg, Predator: Badlands is set to star Elle Fanning.
