Reports ofBladereboot have been wreaking havoc among the fans for several months. After Marvel’s latest hiring of people, fans can expect a darker and grittier version of the beloved franchise.
It has been alleged that the series may receive an R-rated certificate for the horror tone and (possibly) the violence to be shown to the audience.
Marvel’s Recently Hired People ofBladeReboot
It was recently reported byDeadlinethat Marvel Studios hired Yann Demange and Michael Starrbury to join in on theBladereboot project. Yann Demange is known for projects likeLovecraft CountryandWhite Boy Rickboth of which offer dark tones and serious settings. Michael Starrbury while on the other hand is known for being the writer ofWhen They See Us.While both of these people are too ‘dark’ and ‘gritty’ for Marvel, that’s exactly whatBladereboot needs.

There were rumors that theBladereboot would not be as much dark as the previousBlade Trilogydue to the Disneyfication, but insiders claim differently.
“Marvel is looking to go with a darker tone on this film than other MCU projects have been in the past.”citesDeadline.Alongside,The Hollywood Reporteragrees with the statements“the new intent is for Blade to dark and gritty in tone, falling on the edgier side of Marvel fare and maybe even find common shading with the fondly-remembered Blade movies made in the early 2000s by New Line.”
After the reports of Yann Demange and Michael Starrbury joining the franchise, theBladereboot will surely be tenser and would be following a much heavy tone compared to other Marvel projects.

When TheBladeReboot Was In Trouble

Although Academy Award winner Mahershala Ali has been cast as the main protagonist of the movie, there were indeed times of trouble with the franchise. Before Yann Demange was made director, the project was helmed by Bassam Tariq. The reason cited for the departure of Bassam Tariq from theBladefranchise was a creative difference (much like Henry Cavill). Following the exit of Bassam Tariq, the franchise was lost for a moment.
After the news ofYann Demangehelming the project, it has been reported that theBladereboot is back on track. Many insiders claim that the script so far has been only 90 pages and features only two action scenes till now. Sources also said that Mahareshala Ali is not happy with the way how things are going in the franchise.
Whatever the case,Bladewill begin production in 2023 and is slated for a release date of 6th September 2024. TheBladefranchise is available to stream on Hulu or the Disney+ bundle (with Hulu).
