Blade has become something of an odd topic of discussion for Marvel fans. It was confirmed back in 2019 that the Daywalker was finally set to make his debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in his own self-titled movie, with Academy Award winner Mahershala Ali playing the role, but the project has yet to materialize. What's worse is that the project is no longer set to be a part of the Multiverse Saga, which wraps up next year with Avengers: Secret Wars, meaning that it probably won't arrive in movie theaters until 2028 at the earliest.

There have been updates, both good and bad, in that time but very little actual movement, as fans thought that Marvel Studios might end up cancelling the film. Heck, a number of reports claimed that this may be an inevitability, especially after it was taken off the release calendar after seemingly aiming for an October 2025 release.
