Mahershala Ali's "Blade" is stuck in limbo, while Michael B. Jordan is already sinking his teeth into a new vampire film to be released first.

Blade (2025) – Teaser Trailer | Mahershala Ali

After Wesley Snipes' controversial run as Blade, the mantle was handed to Mahershala Ali. Marvel Studios announced a reboot of the franchise, with the actor taking over the character from OG Blade. Unfortunately, the project has been stuck in development since time immemorial and Michael B. Jordan's next project may just turn out to be a generous sprinkling of salt on Mahershala Ali's wounds.

Michael B. Jordan is gearing up to star in the vampire-themed movie that reportedly already has a release date. On the other hand, the ultimate human-vampire hybrid still lurks somewhere in the shadows of Marvel Studios, "patiently" waiting for his turn.

The untitled vampire film, directed by Ryan Coogler, is eyeing March 7, 2025, as its release date, as reported by The Hollywood Reporter. After a long and grueling bidding war, the film's rights have been awarded to Warner Bros., which isn't really a shock now, is it?
