Mia Goth's schedule is pretty packed now as she's about to go behind the camera for the third film in the "X" franchise, "MaXXXine," and head over to Atlanta to shoot "Blade" in June.
Starring Academy Award winner Mahershala Ali, Marvel's "Blade" will be the Daywalker's feature-length debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Announced in 2019 at San Diego Comic-Con, it will be the first film to feature the vampire hunter since 2004's "Blade: Trinity," when the character was memorably played by Wesley Snipes.
In 2021, it was announced that "Blade" would be penned by Stacy Osei-Kuffour from HBO's "Watchmen" TV series and directed by Bassam Tariq. Unfortunately, the production would see several delays, giving the screenwriter additional time to perfect the script. Eventually, these shifts in schedule would result in the departure of Tariq in September 2022, causing the production to shut down while the studio searched for a new director. Thankfully, fans would rejoice as Yann Demange, known for HBO's "Lovecraft Country," would save the film and sign on as director in November 2022.
Marvel's "Blade" will begin production in May 2023 and will hit theaters on September 4, 2024.
