“The most important thing for us is not rushing it and making sure we are making the right Blade movie.”
The original movie starring Wesley Snipes, based on Marvel's vampire-slaying superhero, was released in 1998 and spawned two sequels and a TV series. Now the studio is attempting to bring it back to life for a new generation but the production has suffered numerous setbacks and its planned release date was pushed back by two years.
Now Feige claims the team are just treading carefully and making sure the project isn't rushed out.

The movie has already gone through two directors. Bassam Tariq was first to go, followed by Yann Demange. But Goth recently insisted the project is being handled with care. She told Deadline, “ really care, they do. They want to make a great movie. That’s the sense that I get from them and that feels good.”Wesley Snipes recently laughed at the production’s delays, writing in a post on X: “Blade, lordylordylordy folks still lookin for the secret sauce, ridin snowmobiles in traffic, kinda rough. Daywalkers make it look easy, don’t they?”
In an interview with Uproxx, he did, however, puts his support behind Ali. He said: “I don’t have any involvement, but I support the young artists and I support Marvel in their business decisions. It’s a beautiful thing. I think he’s a heck of a job. He’s got a heck of a job on his hands.
