Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT With Blade recently losing another director, it seems like time for Marvel to finally give the project to the director of the John Wick films. Blade is set to be released in November 2025, but with another creative shake-up happening, its place in the MCU timeline doesn't seem so sure.
Blade Needs A New Director Bassam Tariq was confirmed for the movie back in 2021, but left Blade's production in September 2022 due to continuous shifts in the production schedule of the movie. Soon after, Yann Demange took over as director alongside writer Beau DeMayo to rework the script. Now, Demange has stepped away, and a new writer has been brought in, leaving a director-sized hole in its wake and the fate of the film seemingly up in the air.
John Wick is a highly stylized franchise soaked in violence and neon lights accentuated by some of the best stunt work around. The premise of one nearly unstoppable man vs. many is intriguing and should be one of the main focuses for the upcoming Blade film. It could pull from the first John Wick movie and be about Blade hunting down certain vampires for a specific reason or flip the script like the other films in the Wick series ended up doing, where Blade ends up being the hunted.
The two Captain America films that Stahelski helped work on have some of the best action in the entire MCU and provide valuable experience working within the Marvel Studios machine. This gives Stahelski a leg up when it comes to directing one of these behemoth blockbusters.
