Marvel Studios' Blade reboot has faced multiple challenges, including script delays, changes in time period from the 1920s to present day, and actors like Delroy Lindo dropping out. Mahershala Ali, who sees Blade as his Black Panther, has been frustrated by the lengthy development process. A train set built for the movie will not be used and may go to another Disney project. The script is set to be rewritten over the summer and then sent out to directors.
You know who I want to take over Blade? Spike Fucking Lee. He'd be able to pull Delroy back in. Otherwise, can we just cancel this shitshow of a film and move on? https://t.co/E8r71UHqFW
