Yann Demange came aboard in 2022 to replace Bassam Tariq on the vampire superhero movie starring Mahershala Ali.

Hopefully nobody was holding their breath for Marvel’s Blade —already long-delayed, after being first announced at San Diego Comic-Con in 2019—to make its most recently designated release date of November 7, 2025. The Mahershala Ali vampire vehicle, which has so far weathered the pandemic, the Hollywood strikes, and a previous director swap, will now no longer be helmed by Yann Damange , who’s been attached since late 2022.

The trade reports that the November 2025 date is still in Marvel’s calendar, but it remains to be seen if the film and its star will be able to make that happen. On the positive side, the Wrap notes, a further delay might actually be a good thing: “according to an insider with knowledge, getting Blade right is much more important than getting the film out,” especially now that Marvel is operating under a strategic new plan that will see fewer movies and TV shows being released each year.
