Exciting Update for Marvel’s Blade Reboot: Filming Set to Commence in Fall 2024
Production Weekly‘s listing reveals that the highly anticipated Marvel’s Blade reboot is slated to start principal photography in London later this year.
Despite facing various delays and behind-the-scenes adjustments, such as a director change and script revisions, the confirmation of the production start date indicates that the project is now moving forward smoothly.
The upcoming Marvel movie will mark the introduction of the iconic vampire hunter, Eric Brooks, into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Mahershala Ali is confirmed to portray the role of Eric Brooks, resurrecting the character on screen more than two decades after Wesley Snipes’ original portrayal.
Directed by Yann Demange, the Blade reboot will officially bring vampires into the MCU, following the hint of the Daywalker’s MCU debut in the second post-credits scene of Eternals.
The film also boasts an impressive cast including Delroy Lindo and Aaron Pierre, alongside the addition of Mia Goth in a yet-to-be-disclosed role.
Blade is expected to diverge from the typical Marvel tone, aiming for a darker and edgier atmosphere. The script, crafted by Stacy Osei-Kuffour and Michael Starrbury, promises a fresh take on the iconic character.
Originally scheduled for earlier release dates, the reboot has encountered several delays. Its current release date is slated for November 2025, marking the third rescheduling after setbacks like the Writers Guild of America strike, which halted production indefinitely.
Fans can anticipate Blade’s theatrical debut on November 7, 2025.
