Blade Film Production Suspended Due to Hollywood Writers’ Strike
The upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe (UCM) film, Blade, has suffered another setback. The pre-production of the film has been suspended due to the Hollywood writers’ strike that began on May 1. Initially, Blade lost its director, Bassam Tariq, last year but soon found a replacement in Yann Demange.
The film stars Mahershala Ali as Blade, the half-vampire slayer. Mia Goth was recently announced as joining the cast, along with Aaron Pierre and Delroy Lindo. The production was supposed to begin in Atlanta soon, and the movie is scheduled to premiere on September 6, 2024.
This recent development has put the production of Blade in limbo, leaving fans eagerly waiting for updates. It is unclear how long the writers’ strike will last and what effect it will have on the movie industry.
The writers’ strike is caused by an ongoing disagreement between the Writers Guild of America, the union that represents thousands of writers in the US, and the major studios regarding the compensation of writers. The strike has affected a lot of productions in Hollywood, with Blade being among the latest movies to be affected.
It has been a tough year for Blade, but fans remain hopeful that the project will push through and bring to life the beloved comic book character on the big screen. As the situation develops, we can only wait for more updates on the film’s production.
