Feige says “nothing imminent” is happening in regard to the Blade reboot. 

[dropcap size=small]R[/dropcap]umours have been circulating about the possibility of another Blade film since August of last year, with word on the movie grapevine suggesting Blade’s return to the big screen may focus on his daughter

Since then, news on the reboot has largely gone quiet, but thanks to a short interview during a press conference for the upcoming release of Doctor Strange, Marvel Studio President Kevin Feige shed some light on the project.

Feige revealed (via The Playlist) that the studio is still interested in bringing the character back to life, but nothing “imminent” is currently being planned: 

[W]e’ll do something with ‘Blade’ at some point. That’s still the answer. We still think he’s a great character. He’s a really fun character.

We think this movie going into a different side of the universe would have the potential to have him pop up, but between the movies, the Netflix shows, the ABC shows there are so many opportunities for the character to pop up, as you’re now seeing with ‘Ghost Rider’ onAGENTS of S.H.I.E.L.D.’. 

[R]ather than team up with another studio on that character let’s do something on our own. What that is? Where that will be? We’ll see. There is nothing imminent to my knowledge.”

Wesley Snipes has made it clear that he’s open to the idea of reprising his role as the half-vampire, half-human “daywalker,” who uses his supernatural abilities to hunt down vampires in order to protect humankind. 

From the sounds of it, the studio are still keen to bring the character back into the Marvel fold at some point, be it in his own solo movie, or by first introducing him in another title. Either way, it will probably be some time before we see him make a return.

Blade is a total badass who we’d really love to see make a comeback in the near future. Here’s to hoping it happens!
