Marvel’s Blade Joins Midnight Sons, Team-Up Film in Development Instead of Standalone Movie

Marvel’s planned Blade movie, starring Mahershala Ali, has been shelved, with the character now slated for a Midnight Sons project. According to movie scooper Jeff Sneider, Blade will appear in the team-up film instead of in his own standalone feature. The Blade film had been in development since 2019 but experienced numerous delays and changes in directors and writers, leaving its release date uncertain. Despite this, Mahershala Ali is still expected to play Blade. Rumors suggest Midnight Sons will feature Blade and other supernatural characters from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This suggests Blade will appear on the big screen as part of a larger ensemble. The hold on the Blade project may be part of Marvel boss Kevin Feige’s plan to reduce the number of new releases while exploring supernatural stories and lesser-known characters in team-up films that require less development time. There is also speculation that Moon Knight might return in Midnight Sons, offering Oscar Isaac the chance to further develop the character. All information is based on internal sources and rumors, as Marvel has not officially confirmed these plans.
