The Marvel Cinematic Universe is not what it used to be. Although the statements might be hurtful, there have never been so many delays in a Marvel film before as Mahershala Ali’s upcoming MCU filmBlade.
It’s not just about the infinite delays though, it feels as if the MCU has dropped its standards after the events ofAvengers: Endgame.With people getting hurt by these Marvel updates, fans are not liking the news of Mahershala Ali’s delayed film!
Marvel And Mahershala Ali’sBladeGets Delayed… Again
Although it could be taken in a good sense that the MCU doesn’t want to release an unfinished product, the fans are also tired now. With the world having learned not to rush things for a release (coughCyberpunk 2077), the MCU probably wants their films to be actually entertaining for the audience.
Taking the rumors to X (formerly Twitter), an outlet alleged thatMahershala Ali’sBladehas been delayed again. With the film having an original release date of 06 July 2025, there are reports that the date has been pushed back to 2026!
‘BLADE’ starring Mahershala Ali is reportedly heading towards a 2026 release date.
It’s currently set to release on Jul 26, 2025.
