Just when we thought the ever-expanding franchise had finally been cut a break, the MCU has once again fallen victim to the steady stream of bad luck it’s suffered in 2023. In the definition of taking one step forward but two back, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 might have opened to cosmic success but a much-beleaguered upcoming Marvel movie has been hit by yet another blow. Meanwhile, Ryan Reynolds being forbidden from improving Deadpool 3 doesn’t bode well for the Merc’s MCU debut.
Blade continues to prove it’s cursed as Marvel pulls the plug on production weeks before filming begins
In a sadly apropos twist (given the film’s half-vamp protagonist), Blade is essentially a dead movie walking at this point. After overcoming countless hurdles on its journey to go before cameras, the Mahershala Ali vehicle has been forced to halt just weeks before its shoot was finally due to begin next month. The reason? With a new screenwriter just having been hired last week, the WGA strike means there’s literally nothing for Marvel to film. Blade is currently scheduled for a September 2024 release, although it’s not hard to imagine the Daywalker’s MCU arrival being pushed back to a later date.
