Blade (2025)

First Trailer | Mahershala Ali
The highly anticipated Blade (2025), starring Mahershala Ali as the legendary vampire hunter, has faced several production hurdles since its announcement. Initially revealed at San Diego Comic-Con in 2019, the film has experienced numerous delays due to script rewrites, director changes, and other challenges.
Originally set for a 2023 release, Blade is now scheduled to hit theaters on November 7, 2025.
Part of Marvel’s Phase 6, this film will reintroduce Blade into the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Ali made a brief appearance as the character in a post-credits scene of Eternals, teasing his return.
The film boasts an impressive cast, including Mia Goth, though her role remains under wraps. The story is expected to explore Blade’s half-vampire nature and may adopt a darker, more mature tone than most MCU films.
With its vampire-driven themes, fans are hoping for an R-rating, marking a departure from the usual family-friendly style of the MCU.
