Part 4/8:
The latest indicators of Blade's uncertain future surfaced during Disney’s recent investor call. Notably, the project was conspicuously absent from the company's slate of upcoming films. Disney CEO Bob Iger’s statement about the 2025 planned releases omitted Blade entirely, with no mention of the film’s progress or prospects. The lineup announced included titles like Captain America: Brave New World, Thunderbolts, Fantastic Four, Zootopia 2, and others, but Blade was nowhere to be seen.
This silence fueled speculation that Marvel and Disney are no longer confident in the project’s timely release. Industry insiders suggest that Blade is effectively in "limbo," with executives unsure whether to proceed, revise, or cancel altogether.
