Marvel's iconic vampire hunter, Blade, is facing yet another delay. Recently, Disney has officially removed the highly anticipated reboot from its release calendar, which was initially set for November 7, 2025. Instead, the studio will replace this slot with Predator: Badlands, marking a shift in focus for the Marvel franchise. This news comes as a disappointment to many fans eager to see Mahershala Ali step into the iconic role of the Daywalker. The timing of this decision is not surprising, especially in light of recent comments from Disney's Bob Iger. During an earnings call earlier this year, Iger mentioned that Marvel Studios would be scaling back its output to no more than three films per year. The anticipation for Blade remains high, and fans will have to wait a bit longer to see how this iconic character can continue to evolve in the contemporary cinematic landscape.
