10 Reasons' The MCU’s Blade Reboot Is So Hard To Get Right
The MCU’s upcoming Blade movie is looking for yet another new writer, begging the question as to why development on Blade has been so difficult.
The MCU Blade Movie’s Production Issues Explained
While time will tell whentheBlademoviegets a new director, the big MCU report reveals a lot of new information about the troubled reboot. To start with, the director search got complex after Bassam Tariq’s exit, as Ali, who has reportedly had a lot of frustrations during theBladeprocess, began his own search for a replacement, being supposedly not happy with Marvel Studios' proposed list of various filmmakers.
TheBladecastupdate that Deloy Lindo and Aaron Pierre is similarly complicated news, as the respective acting talents of both figures were sure to have benefited the movie. Interestingly, Mia Goth appears to be still attached to the project, meaning she could well still play Lilith in the final script if the reports of her character hold true, even if this is in an altered role that may see her not be the film’s antagonist.
Even though it doesn’t appear thatBladewill be canceled, Marvel Studios will want to ensure production gets proper time to unfold, as the troubles the movie has experienced mean there is likely to be a more critical eye focused on the final film. As such, the picture painted by the reports makes it sound not impossible that the release could even be pushed back further, to ensure those working on it now don’t have to rush the process. Whatever the case, hopefullyBladewill be released by Marvel Studios within the relatively near future.
