As everyone surely knows by now, Marvel’s “Blade” recently lost its director, Yann Demange, known for the British war thriller “’71” and “Lovecraft Country.” And yes, some movies take longer than others to make; that’s just Hollywood, but fans are getting impatient, and some are wondering if the project is cursed. Worse, “Blade” star Mahershala Ali’s attorney, Shelby Weiser, added a little fuel to the fire late last week when she was quoted about the film’s delays.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Originally “Blade” star Wesley Snipes is saying “lordy lordy lordy” to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which continues to hit speed bumps during the development of a new “Blade” movie that is set to star Oscar winner Mahershala Ali as the eponymous vampire hunter. The most recent hiccup for the MCU’s “Blade” arrived June 12, when it was announced that director Yann Damage was exiting the movie and that a new screenwriter, Eric Pearson (“The Fantastic Four,” “Black Widow,” “Thor: Ragnarok”), was coming on board . “Blade, lordylordylordy,” Snipes reacted on Twitter alongside the side eye emoji.

The Order of the Garter is one of the most recognisable annual royal traditions, thanks in part to the unique uniforms which the likes of King Charles, Queen Camilla and the Prince of Wales wear.

Marvel‘s troubled Blade film starring Mahershala Ali has hit yet another bump in the road with director Yann Demange exiting the project.Per a report from Variety, sources with inside information have claimed that Demange – who has helmed Top Boy and Lovecraft Country – departed from the film “weeks ago” amicably, as the film’s development cycle dragged on.This marks the second director to leave the film. Mogul Mowgli director Bassam Tariq, who was originally tapped to direct, departed from the film in 2022, just weeks before it was due to begin filming.Variety also noted that screenwriter Eric Pearson, who has co-written next year’s The Fantastic Four, is the latest writer to take a stab at Blade‘s script.

Maybe don’t call it a vampire’s curse, but Marvel’s “Blade” has undergone so many delays that fans wonder if the film will ever happen. In what feels like another blow to the project, which has seemingly undergone countless rewrites and has been rethought and re-envisioned several times if the rumors are true, The Wrap reports that the film has lost its director Yann Demange, known for the action thriller, “71” and “White Boy Rick” (Demange was once in the mix to direct Bond 25 before Cary Fukunaga took over).
