Episode Details

Kevin Feige admits he feels like a failure over the stalled Blade reboot starring Mahershala Ali, despite years of development and the actor’s unwavering enthusiasm. The project, first announced in 2019, has faced endless delays, director changes, and script rewrites — ultimately getting axed last fall. Feige insists they’re not rushing it, aiming for something truly unique, not just another vampire flick. He says they couldn’t elevate a good script to great through production alone, and didn’t want to disappoint Ali or the studio. Yet, Ali remains eager to take on the role, and Feige’s continued public support — especially during press tours for upcoming Marvel films — signals the project is still very much alive, even if the road has been bumpy.
