The new ‘Blade’ reboot is definitely one of the most exciting MCU projects for several reasons. Many fans are thrilled that the famous vampire slayer from the comics is returning to the big screen.
The original ‘Blade’ trilogy was so successful that it saved Marvel from bankruptcy at one point. Many people believe that this movie paved the way for the rest of the MCU.
When Mahershala Ali proposed rebooting ‘Blade’ to the studio, he probably didn’t realize how tough it would be. The movie was initially set for a 2023 release, but due to Ali’s dissatisfaction with the script, the release date was pushed to 2025 (so far). The project underwent several rewrites.
A few months ago, Michael Green was brought in for rewrites, with the aim of keeping the “R” rating at all costs, as Demange stated several months ago.

After multiple delays due to the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes and key personnel changes, Ali’s Blade is reportedly headed for filming in the summer.

It looks like there is more bad news in store for Marvel fans and fans of Captain America. After extensive reshoots and cutting away major scenes, Captain America: Brave New World still seems to have issues. The Anthony Mackie and Harrison Ford starrer has been in the making since 2022 and will be released on February 10, 2025.
The film is set to build on the events of the Disney Plus series Falcon and the Winter Soldier, with Mackie’s Sam Wilson taking over the mantle of Captain America. The film recently debuted some footage at CinemaCon which showed Ford’s Thaddeus Ross as well. However, industry insider Jeff Sneider mentioned that all was not good in the movie.

Welcome to this week’s review of Nxt, right here on Nerdly. Let’s get straight into it and see what went down in this episode…
Match #1: Noam Dar def. Dijak The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
The numbers game of the Meta-Four proved dividends for Noam Dar as Supernova 11 conquered the much larger Dijak thanks to Lash Legend, Jakara Jackson, and Oro Mensah. Dijak laid into the Scottish Superstar, crushing him with brutal chops, strong strikes, and back-breaking tosses across the ring. Dar was even on the receiving end of a ring-shaking sit-out chokeslam. Dar managed to rally and hit a Fisherman Buster on the larger Dijak, parlaying that move into an armbar that incapacitated his arm. After trading incredible shots, Dijak became distracted by Mensah who jumped on the apron, allowing Dar to hit Nova Roller to pick up the huge win.
My Score: 3.5 out of 5 Match #2: Lola Vice def.

Soulsborne games are notorious for being difficult; however, the amount of love and dedication that goes into making them from Hidetaka Miyazaki and his team at FromSoftware is completely unparalleled in the gaming industry. Masterpieces like Dark Souls, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, and Bloodborne have catapulted the studio into the mainstream, and for good reason.
With breathtaking worlds, stories, and weaponry, the inspirations behind such works require an equal amount of appreciation. Particularly in the case of Bloodborne and, surprisingly, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, a world-renowned Seinen anime paved the way to creating these two jaw dropping experiences.
Blood and Blades: The Inspiration Taken from Blade of the Immortal
A lot of Bloodborne‘s trick weapons are inspired by this anime.

Stellar Blade is only a few days away from launch and director Hyung-Tae Kim is sharing more and more details across various interviews. The director expressed his high praise for fellow developers that inspired his latest project, and how NieR: Automata inspired his latest project.
It is wholesome to see creatives praise the works of their colleagues and share how it impacted the way they develop games. The South Korean director credited the success of PlatinumGames’ Nier: Automata with the fruition of his new original story.
Nier: Automata Heavily Inspired the Stellar Blade Director
Director Hyung-Tae Kim loved Nier: Automata and the game greatly influenced Stellar Blade.
Directors Yoko Taro and Hyung-Tae Kim sat down and chatted about each other’s video games. Triple-a console games are not that popular in South Korea which spewed a lot of doubt with Shift Up’s ambitious project but the developers did not falter from negativity.

Kit Harington became part of the MCU as Dane Whitman/Black Knight in ‘Eternals’ in 2021. Despite the mixed reviews of the movie, fans embraced Harington’s character and are eager to see more of him in future projects.
Whitman and Sersi had a relationship before the Deviants attacked. However, it ended when Whitman learned that she was actually an Eternal. By the end of the movie, Whitman began his own journey when he accepted and started using the Ebony Blade.
It’s natural to expect Whitman to return alongside the other Eternals. However, rumors have circulated in recent weeks that the planned ‘Eternals’ sequel was canceled and possibly being reworked into something else entirely.
Harington’s Whitman has been linked to the upcoming ‘Blade’ reboot. One reported plot point suggests that the Ebony Blade will play a major role in the movie, with the title itself referencing both the blade and the notable vampire hunter.

Monkey D. Luffy is currently busy battling the Gorosei on the Egghead Island. Defeating them seems to be an impossible task, but Sun God Nika coming out victorious could help the Straw Hats get one step closer to the One Piece. On the other hand, another Yonko, Blackbeard, is taking the easy way with ambushing Pirates to steal Road Poneglyps and Devil Fruit abilities.
Both of them are the closest to the One Piece. Shanks was a member of the Roger Pirates. So, the Red-Haired Pirates also have a chance to steal the title of the Pirate King. But, there is a particular pirate who fulfills every requirement to be a Pirate King. If he only had a proper crew to back him up, he could have easily conquered the Grand Line.

Superhero movies’ reign continues at the box office, with the Marvel Cinematic Universe standing as the juggernaut of the genre. While movies like Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man or the early 2000s X-Men films are often hailed for launching this expansive series of action-packed blockbusters, there’s a trio of superhero films often overlooked in discussions about the MCU’s origins: the Blade movies.
Wesley Snipes in the Blade Trilogy
Released 25 years ago in 1998, Blade hit theaters at a time when Hollywood was still grappling with how to approach superhero films seriously. These movies played a crucial role in paving the way for the confidence needed to tackle adaptations of iconic characters like the X-Men and Spider-Man.
Suggestedx-Men vs. Blade: Which Is The Better MCU Progenitor Trilogy
Without Blade leading the charge, it’s unlikely that the momentum necessary for what eventually evolved into the Marvel Cinematic Universe would have been generated.

“When the Hero Blade defeated the Overlord, he lost all his powers. For him, this should be a dream come true—he can finally experience life as a normal student. Unfortunately, as a veteran Hero at a school meant to train future Heroes, he has little chance of blending in. What's more, the students Blade meets there, like him, have a rather skewed view of what's “normal.” He'll have to contend with the school's overbearing Empress and her icy glares, his own way-too-flashy attacks, and even an escaped dragon! Despite it all, can Blade manage to make friends and enjoy school life without exposing his true identity?” (Yen Press)

Marvel has many upcoming projects planned for the next few years. However, a lot of these projects got delayed or canceled because of the SAG-AFTRA strike, which affected the entire industry.
One of the highly anticipated projects is the new ‘Blade’ movie by Marvel Studios. It’s based on the character Eric Brooks, a famous vampire hunter from the comics. This movie is a reboot of the earlier ‘Blade’ trilogy, which played a significant role in shaping the current Marvel Cinematic Universe.
We don’t know much about the ‘Blade’ movie except that Mahershala Ali suggested it and that it’s had a tough time getting off the ground. However, there’s hope that things might be turning around soon. Production Weekly reports that filming is scheduled to start in the UK this fall, likely in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Marvel has plenty of projects bound to be released in the next few years, and we know that most of these projects have been stuck in a sort of limbo due to the historic SAG-AFTRA strike that paralyzed the whole industry as a whole, causing plenty of projects to be both delayed or altogether canceled.
One extremely anticipated Marvel Studios project that had problems way before the strikes began is ‘Blade.’ It is an McU-based movie following Eric Brooks, the most notable vampire hunter in comics, and a reboot of the already highly popular ‘Blade’ trilogy that contributed to paving the way for the MCU that we know today.
Next to nothing is known about the ‘Blade’ movie besides the fact that Mahershala Ali proposed the project and that the movie has had a hellish development so far. But, the movie’s development woes might be close to ending since...

The film would be the sole MCU theatrical release of the year and would formally introduce the X-Men into the MCU.

Here are five recommendations you can stream on Screambox right now.
Ghost Killers vs. Bloody Mary
If bustin’ makes you feel good, Ghost Killers vs. Bloody Mary should be at the top of your queue.

When a local high school summons Bloody Mary, the Ghoulbusters — a team of local YouTubers with a cheesy ghost hunting show — are called in to take out the vengeful spirit. In addition to possessing people to the point of cranial combustion, the ghost exploits the high school setting by haunting inanimate objects,...

The world of entertainment has seen many unfortunate incidents when an actor reportedly lost a role due to one thing or another. While actors like Emily Blunt lost a Marvel role due to contractual obligations, Mahershala Ali, on the other hand, lost a very amazing opportunity due to Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Blade.

While Blade seems to be forever struck by developmental delays and whatnot, Ali could have been Lt. Jim Gordon in Matt Reeves’ The Batman had it not been for it. With a sequel for the Robert Pattinson starter flick already in the works, it seems unfortunate that Ali lost on such an incredible opportunity.

Mahershala Ali is all set to become a major Marvel star by starring as the titular character Blade in the upcoming reboot. Yet it seems his journey of becoming the daywalker Blade is more disastrous and complex than one can anticipate, for the project just seems to get delayed after delays.
Mahershala Ali (in Leave the World Behind)
After reports of various developmental delays, there haven’t been any new updates for a few months on the project. And as per a piece of recent news about the actor, it seems to hint he might have just committed a career blunder by rejecting one DC movie for Blade.

Marvel’s Blade has been dulled yet again, as star Aaron Pierre has exited the project, marking just the most recent snag in the project, which is set to be part of Phase Six in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
As Pierre confirmed to Variety, “Early on, there were conversations…As the project evolved, I’m no longer part of that — attached.” Pierre’s character in Marvel’s Blade was unknown.
There has been a lot of change throughout the development of Marvel’s revisiting of the Blade franchise, most of which relates to talent behind the camera. For starters, Watchmen’s Stacy Osei-Kuffour was hired as writer in 2021 before being replaced by Michael Starrbury (Colin in Black & White) and a handful of others, including True Detective’s Nic Pizzolatto and later Logan’s Michael Green. It’s widely believed that Aaron Pierre’s character would be dropped as subsequent drafts came in.

Actor Aaron Pierre confirmed that he has exited the troubled and delayed Blade at Marvel Studios. More on his comments below.
Marvel’s Blade has suffered yet another setback. The long-gestated project, which has gone through several writers and strike-mandated delays, has now lost one of its cast members.
Aaron Pierre confirmed to Variety that he won’t be seen in Marvel’s vampire hunter film.
“Early on, there were conversations,” Pierre said on the red carpet at the 55th NAACP Image Awards. “As the project evolved, I’m no longer part of that — [no longer] attached.”
We first reported on Pierre’s involvement in the project in February 2022.
Blade appears to be stuck in some form of production hell at the moment. The film was originally slated for a 2023 release with Mahershala Ali joining the project as early as 2019, but Blade has had a cursed production so far.

Everything about the first trailer for the reboot of The Crow looks familiar. Sure, some of that is to be expected, as the 2024 movie retells the story from the 1994 cut classic. And yes, The Crow 2024 does make some obvious choices, casting Bill Skarsgård as a weird tall skinny guy and Danny Huston as a bad guy.
But besides the paint-by-numbers approach that director Rupert Sanders seems to be taking with the property, the really familiar part is The Crow‘s approach to comic book adaptations. Those young enough to have listened to the soundtrack to The Crow back in the ’90s will remember that the current pop culture landscape seemed impossible 30 years ago. Only the most recognizable superheroes got translated to live-action, and even then received a radical make-over, sanding down all of the colorful comic book aspects and stuck into a standard action flick.

Marvel has numerous projects slated for release in the coming years. Many of these projects have faced delays and cancellations due to the industry-wide SAG-AFTRA strike. One highly anticipated Marvel Studios project, ‘Blade,’ has faced challenges even before the strikes began. It’s set in the MCU and follows Eric Brooks, a renowned vampire hunter, rebooting the popular ‘Blade’ trilogy.
Little is known about the ‘Blade’ movie except that Mahershala Ali proposed the project and will portray the titular character. Originally scheduled for release in 2023, it was pushed to 2025 due to Ali’s concerns about the script. Recent reports suggest changes in the movie’s direction, including a shift away from focusing on Blade’s daughter. Additionally, there’s a rumor that the movie won’t be a period piece anymore and will move its filming location from Atlanta to London, possibly involving Black Knight.

Yesterday, it was reported that Beau DeMayo, the creator behind ‘X-Men ’97,’ set to debut in a few weeks, was abruptly fired. His termination came without prior notice, as his company email was deactivated, and Marvel Studios (along with Disney) severed all ties with him in what appears to be an unexpected move. This news is particularly surprising considering DeMayo’s significant involvement in Marvel’s future plans. ‘X-Men ’97’ had already been slated for a second season before the premiere of its first season. Additionally, DeMayo was allegedly in discussions for a third season and was actively engaged in crafting the script for the upcoming ‘Blade’ reboot.
Although neither the studio nor his representatives provided a reason for his dismissal, a well-known source, CanWeGetSomeToast, shared on X that it was due to a combination of factors.

Match #1: Kiana James def. Kelani Jordan The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
Kiana James is running roughshod over the Nxt women’s division with Kelani Jordan being her latest victim inside the ring. Jordan was unfazed by the experience of James and the threat of Izzi Dame on the outside as she even hit a picture-perfect moonsault to the outside to take them both out. The numbers game proved to be too much for James to overcome as Dame knocked her off the apron when the referee was distracted, allowing James to hit Dealbreaker and pick up the win.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has found itself in an interesting position after Disney acquired Fox, bringing a slew of characters into the fold of Marvel, ones whose film rights had been traded away to keep the company afloat. This includes the Fantastic Four, the casting for which has been released, and the X-Men, who have been trickling into the MCU piecemeal via various projects.

Marvel has officially confirmed the inclusion of the Netflix Marvel series in the Sacred Timeline of the franchise. Until now, the series Daredevil, Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, and Iron Fist were developed separately from the MCU canon and had only passing references to the movies. But with the shows being placed in the official timeline order on Disney Plus, they have been officially confirmed to be part of the MCU canon.
However, the fact that the Netflix Marvel shows were separate from the films had given the studio the freedom to allow some actors to crossover from the show to the films. But, with the shows being canonized, the portrayal of certain characters may be confusing. One of the biggest examples of this flaw is the casting of Mahershala Ali, who portrayed Cottonmouth in Luke Cage and will be seen as Blade in the MCU.

The box-office owners are lately in some trouble it seems. Looks like Marvel has no more room for hits and trials. With almost 60 percent of people aged 18 to 44, Marvel easily has one of the biggest fandoms in the world. With 4 movies in the top 10 list of highest-grossing movies of all time, Marvel has always been a delight to superhero lovers.
However, the MCU’s last two phases have been somewhat mediocre according to the fans. Eternals, Thor: Love and Thunder, and Black Widow fell short of our expectations in phase 4. To fans’ utter disappointment, even Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania didn’t kickstart a glamorous Phase 5. However, Marvel is taking some risks to get its reputation back on track with upcoming films.

Of all the upcoming projects from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, a total reboot film Blade starring Mahershala Ali in the lead as the superhero of the same name remains one of the most anticipated movies of Phase 5. This stands all the more truer after Wesley Snipes failed to land the perfect end-film in 2004 for his trilogy of The Vampire Hunter.

One of these even reportedly claimed that Mahershala Ali had exited the Blade reboot project, making fans who were really looking forward to seeing him in the character of Eric Brooks panic.

Marvel has a plethora of projects slated for release in the coming years, many of which have been caught in limbo due to the recent SAG-AFTRA strike that brought the industry to a standstill, resulting in numerous delays and cancellations.
Among these projects, ‘Blade,’ an eagerly anticipated Marvel Studios venture, has faced challenges predating the strikes. This McU-based film follows Eric Brooks, a prominent vampire hunter from the comics, and marks a reboot of the beloved ‘Blade’ trilogy, which played a pivotal role in paving the way for the MCU.
Details about the ‘Blade’ movie are scarce, aside from Mahershala Ali spearheading the project and portraying the titular vampire hunter. Initially slated for a 2023 release, the film’s debut has been pushed back to 2025 (thus far), largely due to Ali’s concerns with the script.
