30 Sep – Speculations have now arisen regarding the fate of Marvel's upcoming movie, "Blade", after it was revealed that director Bassam Tariq will no longer be helming the movie.
Prior to his withdrawal, the movie was gearing up to begin shooting in November in Atlanta. It is noted that the film, one of Marvel's most anticipated projects since it was announced in 2019, received its release date earlier at the San Diego Comic-Con, revealing it to be 3 November 2023. With Tariq gone, Marvel is rushing to find his replacement before production starts, or the movie may have to be delayed to another date, possibly pushing other Marvel movies out of its slots as well. Other Marvel films that already has a release date after "Blade" are "Captain America: New World Order" (May 2024) and "Thunderbolt" (July 2024).
