Mahershala Ali gives worrying update on Blade
Mahershala Ali doesn't 'know where Marvel is right now' with the Blade reboot. The 51-year-old actor was announced as the titular vampire hunter for the upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) blockbuster in 2019, though following creative setbacks and production problems, Ali has admitted he is unsure what is happening with Blade at the moment. Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter, he said: 'I'm just taking it a day at a time. I'm doing the best work I can.' Ali pointed to his upcoming action film Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother - which is being directed by Bassam Tariq - as a project that has scratched his 'stunts itch', though was still hoping Blade would go ahead. He added: 'I would love for Blade to happen; we'll see, I don't know where Marvel is at right now. I'm just looking for the next great part, I really am.' The Jurassic World: Rebirth star emphasised he was 'ready' for Blade. When Variety asked Ali for an update on the movie, he said: 'Call Marvel. 'I'm ready. Let them know I'm ready.' Blade was originally scheduled for release in November 2025, but was removed from Disney's release calendar in October last year, with the movie being replaced by Predator: Badlands. At the time, Marvel Studios announced three untitled films set for release on 18 February, 5 May, and 10 November 2028. The Blade reboot has experienced multiple setbacks, having lost several writers and directors over the years - including Bassam Tariq and Yann Demange, both of whom exited the project due to creative differences. Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige acknowledged the delays, explaining the studio was 'still trying to crack' Blade and was committed to taking its time. He told BlackTree TV: 'For the last two years as we've been trying to crack that movie, the most important thing for us is not rushing it and making sure we are making the right Blade movie.' Feige also confirmed that the team intends to preserve the franchise's mature tone and R-rating, much like Marvel's Deadpool series. He said: 'There were some great Blade movies years ago - they were all rated-R. So I think that's, like Deadpool, inherent with the character of Blade.' As well as Ali, Blade is to star Mia Goth as the villain Lilith, and the actress previously insisted the project is being handled with care. Speaking with Deadline, she said: '[The cast and crew] really care, they do. They want to make a great movie. That's the sense that I get from them and that feels good.' Blade is being written by Thor: Ragnarok scribe Eric Pearson and True Creative creator Nic Pizzolatto, though no director is currently attached to the project. However, John Wick director Chad Stahelski is reportedly in talks to direct Blade, but this is yet to be confirmed.

Mahershala Ali Joins Former Blade MCU Director's New Movie
Academy Award winner has been tapped to star in a new movie written and directed by former Blade MCU director . The project, which hails from Amazon MGM Studios' Orion Pictures, is called Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother. Other details about the movie, including the plot, are still being kept close to the vest. The project's producers include Tariq and Two & Two Pictures' Lucan Toh (Before I Disappear) and Babak Anvari (I Came By). Tariq was previously attached to direct Marvel Studios' Blade reboot, with Ali set to star as the titular anti-hero. However, in 2022, the director was confirmed to not be moving forward with the project due to 'continued shifts' in the production schedule. The future of the highly-anticipated Blade reboot remains unclear to this day. 'Due to continued shifts in our production schedule, Bassam is no longer moving forward as director of Blade but will remain an executive producer on the film,' Marvel said in a 2022 statement shared with The Hollywood Reporter. 'We appreciate Bassam's talent and all the work he's done getting Blade to where it is.' The announcement comes on the heels of Sam Esmail's record-breaking thriller Leave the World Behind, which starred Ali, Julia Roberts, Ethan Hawke, and Myha'la. Ali can next be seen starring in Jurassic World Rebirth, set to release on July 2. Ali's other notable credits include Moonlight, Green Book, Hidden Figures, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, House Of Cards, The Place Beyond The Pines, True Detective, The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button, Luke Cage, Kicks, Swan Song, and Roxanne Roxanne.

Breaking Baz: Barbara Broccoli's Close-Knit James Bond Circle Says Hearing 007 Deal News Was 'As If There Had Been A Death In The Family'
EXCLUSIVE: Barbara Broccoli began making the calls Thursday, London time, to her most frequent and trusted collaborators to tell them news would soon ricochet around the world like a bullet fired from a Walter PPK, the only weapon used by every actor to play James Bond in the Eon film franchise. The message Broccoli relayed was that she and her producing partner Michael G. Wilson have relinquished creative control of all things 007. More from Deadline Amazon MGM Studios Shelled Out An Extra $1 Billion-Plus To Take Control Of James Bond: What's Next For The Franchise James Bond Shocker! Amazon MGM Studios Takes Creative Control Of Spy Franchise As Producers Michael G. Wilson & Barbara Broccoli Step Back Mahershala Ali To Star In Bassam Tariq's 'Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother' For Amazon MGM Studios' Orion Pictures One recipient who received the Broccoli phone call likened it to receiving a call 'about a death in the family.' 'Perhaps,' one of several people Deadline contacted said, and not in jest, 'I do think that it's possible that if God had sent us a totally no-brainer Bond in the last couple of years, then it might be a different situation.' Another told Deadline that Broccoli was 'calm' and seemed 'resigned' to what she and her partner and half-brother Wilson had signed away to Amazon MGM Studios. 'You could tell she was upset though,' they said. 'She sighed, said what she had to say about the impending announcement, and then we chatted about other stuff.' 'Maybe it must be kind of enjoyable to be free of the kind of struggle,' one opined. 'Rather, I think that that's the positive side to it. I think the reality is that you wouldn't really want to hand over the family jewels to someone else when you … It's obviously a massive decision, but I suppose you could say that it's a natural point with the retirement of a Bond of an active Bond and the retirement of Michael who has been in, or what do you say, stepping back. But I mean basically him leaving the stage and then also the need to find a new Bond. Those things make it, and then this whole change of circumstances are just, they all add up together.' RELATED: This reporter has had relationships with members of the Bond 'family' from all departments on the call sheet stretching back decades, and never have they sounded so forlorn. 'It's big, isn't it? It's really big. It all feels very big at this time when we've got all this bad stuff happening in the world and we want James Bond,' one said. 'I think it does feel like a bit of an end of an era. I mean, it is an end of an era and because it's literally that thing that's been built from relationships. And how does that operate in this sort of world that we're in now? 'It's all very well Amazon taking over but the thing is they need a producer and I mean a producer in the sense of a ringmaster, it really does need someone with a big sense of how Bond works. The scale is enormous, that's why it took, in the past, so long to put all the different parts together. And creative producers are not two-a-penny. So it's difficult. Two pairs of shoes to fill. And there's the casting, the casting in the past has been exceptional. And that comes from the top,' another source said, because Broccoli was able to persuade people. 'And Michael backed her,' they said. 'He backed her and she very much was the driving force of casting Daniel [Craig]. And that wouldn't have happened under a committee. 'How do you have someone with such a strong confidence to rebuild something with a vision when you are in that kind of world, a different world,' added another. 'Assembling the great production crews, you know, production designers, the … well, everything. It was like a giant puzzle and each piece was placed by a master and the whole thing has been built up over all these years through a kind of family ethos and an incredible kind of trust in finding people that they trust and then backing them and building family,' another close associate told us. 'And that's how this incredible thing has been maintained. And so that's very difficult to … how do you replicate that? That's the question.' RELATED: Had the search for a new Bond been successful, as mentioned earlier, might that have given Broccoli strength to continue as the driving force, I asked several sources. 'Well, Michael was going to step back. Barbara said as much at the premiere of No Time to Die. If she'd had found another actor with all the right factors, then maybe. You never know. But remember, Barbara couldn't see herself working without her family. There's class and there's class. There's also family, and they [Amazon MGM] are not family.' Ever since Craig bowed out of the franchise, Broccoli did meet with a few actors. However, one source dismissed that they were ever seriously in the running and explained that such meetings with the likes of Aaron Taylor-Johnson were 'just as kind of an ongoing, keeping your eye out on who's around, but keeping in touch. But I definitely don't think that there was any frontrunner. They wanted to know what they wanted to do next before they thought of the right person for it.' They continued: 'It's sort of chicken and egg, isn't it? And if there was a blindingly obvious new guy, it might be a different situation.' Thy added: 'I think it is such a pivot point after a very specific kind of direction for the Bond movies, and then what do you do next? And it's so tied up with who's going to play the part and what's the tone. And then, so all of those things are massive decisions. And so I think that's a huge new journey to start on, which is going to have to happen with the new management. But when you produce a Spectre, a Skyfall or a No Time to Die, these things just don't happen. They were the gold standard, and what's the price of gold now?' Questioned on what possible Bond spinoffs might emerge, one source offered caution. 'It's not that massive a group of people in the Bond world, you know, the characters Ian Fleming created. I say, 'There is a long way to go.' And it will be interesting to see how it pans out. But, I have to ask: Do Bond fans want their Bond experience diluted?' Just don't shake it up and stir it too much, otherwise the whole thing will shatter.
