Production on Marvel's "Blade" has been shut down temporarily due to the search for a new director. The studio is looking to resume production in early 2023.
The film will star Mahershala Ali as the title character, alongside Aaron Pierre and Delroy Lindo. The original trilogy starred Wesly Snipes and Kris Kristofferson.
"Blade" was created in 1973 by writer Marv Wolfman for The Tomb of Dracula No. 10. He is a half-vampire/half-human vampire hunter, who sets out to seek revenge for the death of his mother, who was killed by a vampire while giving birth to him.
The script was written by Beau DeMayo and will is executive produced by Bassam Tariq, who has to bow out of directing due to schedule conflicts.
