411MANIA | SDCC: Kevin Feige Confirms That <i>Blade</i> Reboot Won’t Come Until Phase 5 in MCU
The MCU is dipping its toes into vampiric waters with a Blade reboot announced at San Diego Comic-Con, but that won't happen until Phase Five.411mania.com
Only problem with that is Morbius isn't going be tied to the MCU, at least not yet. So unless all of a sudden Sony/Marvel announce retconning their Spiderverse to be MCU films, I wouldn't expect a Blade intro post-credits.This could only mean that Marvel and Sony are continuing their relationship, as Sony is currently filming a Morbius movie starring Jared Leto.

If Mahershala Ali isn't introduced in a post-credits scene of Morbius, I'm going to be highly disappointed.
If it were to come out in the fall of 2022, they have 20 months to get it done. You think that they couldn't do that?Great news. 6 months to find a writer though? Is that normal? Either way I dont see this coming out before 2023.
No, Blade is going to start filming in July 2022Wakanda Forever is slated for July 2022. Are they really going to release 2 Marvel films in the same month? Or is this a typo that should read "July 2023"?
Oh duh thanks. It pays to actually read every word rather than every other word I guess. Note to self.No, Blade is going to start filming in July 2022
I originally thought blade would come out in 2022, but, it's clear npw it will come out in 2023.
Delroy Lindo, currently shooting up bad guys in The Harder They Fall, is in final negotiations to join Mahershala Ali in Marvel Studios’ Blade.
Bassam Tariq, known for directing the rap drama Mogul Mowgli, is in the director’s chair for the vampire-centric adventure-thriller, with Stacy Osei-Kuffour, who worked on HBO’s acclaimed Watchmen series, behind the keyboard on script duties.
According to sources, the project is due to begin shooting in late summer 2022.
