Overview
- The long-planned Blade solo reboot remains shelved and has been removed from Marvel’s release calendar after years of director turnover and repeated script rewrites.
- Industry reporting in May 2026 said Marvel has considered including Blade in Avengers: Secret Wars (2027), a move that could serve as the character’s MCU introduction.
- The report does not say which version of Blade Marvel would use, leaving open either Mahershala Ali’s long‑teased MCU take or a return by Wesley Snipes through Multiverse-style casting.
- Rumors also link Blade to an unannounced Midnight Sons supernatural project, and Marvel has kept the character active in other formats, including an appearance in Marvel Zombies Season 1 voiced by Todd Williams.
- Mahershala Ali has publicly said he remains hopeful but uncertain about the film, and a Secret Wars cameo could either fast-track a later standalone movie or establish Blade as part of a larger supernatural strand of the MCU.
