Marvel's Blade Script Is Reportedly Weak, Frustrating Star Mahershala Ali

Mahershala Ali blade

According to a business insider, Blade star Mahershala Ali is dissatisfied with the script of the Marvel Cinematic Universe film.

According to a recent report, Mahershala Ali, the actor of the upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe film, is unhappy with the project. According to a tweet from The Ankler writer Jeff Sneider, who covers the entertainment business, Blade's production is being held up by problems with the script. The current BLADE script, according to reports, is about 90 pages long and contains just TWO (disappointing) action scenes. Mahershala has reportedly become increasingly frustrated with the process. "Feige said to be spread too thin. But hey, that's just what sources are telling me. Don't shoot the messenger." This information coincides with the report that the project's director, Bassam Tariq, has formally quit owing to ongoing production changes. Marvel Studios and Ali have not yet responded to Sneider's remarks as of the time of writing.

Sneider went on to claim that he had heard that Blade was being written by Beau DeMayo, who had previously written Moon Knight, X-Men '97, and The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf. Although it is still uncertain what role DeMayo is playing, it is generally accepted that he is contributing to the writing.

It's unclear whether Tariq's decision to leave the film was influenced by the allegedly problematic script for Blade. The director made a brief statement saying that he had no animosity for the studio. Working with the fantastic people at Marvel has been an honour, Tariq added. "We were able to put together a killer cast and crew. Eager to see where the next director takes the film." The search for a new director has not yet begun.

Despite all the excitement surrounding Blade, little is known about the film. Ali has already made an appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe; she can be heard speaking to Dane Whitman, who plays The Black Knight, in the post-credits sequence of Eternals. When asked how it felt to play Blade for the first time, Ali replied, 

"It was scary. Because, you know, you're talking before you're filming it. I'm pretty particular about my choices, like most actors, and so having to make some choices - even with a line, vocally - this early on, it brought up some very real anxieties."

On November 23, 2023, Blade is expected to have its theatrical debut. It is unclear whether Tariq's departure will affect the publication date.

Jessica Jones Highlights Sexist Treatment Of Female Marvel Heroes

Image
Jessica Jones, one of Marvel's most powerful female characters, considers how poorly female superheroes are treated in the society she inhabits. Jessica Jones is not typically the first female superhero that comes to mind. She isn't as eye-catching as Captain Marvel or She-Hulk. With the exception of her time as Jewel, Jess prefers a leather jacket and a cup of coffee than the conventional cape and tights. Jessica Jones offers a perceptive commentary on the present condition of vigilantism and what it means to be a woman in that milieu in Marvel's The Variants. Ten years have passed since Jones was under Kilgrave's, a.k.a. the Purple Man, control when The Variants takes place. Jessica is prepared to retire from crimefighting now that she is married to Luke Cage and has a daughter. The first victim of Kilgrave, Maria Snyder, who is accused of killing her family, makes an attempt to deny responsibility in court. Unfortunately, Jessica is the only one who has an understand...

GoT's Lena Headey Sued Over Cut Thor: Love and Thunder Role

Image
Game of Thrones actress Lena Headey is being sued for $1.5 million by her former UK agency, Troika, for a variety of unpaid commission fees. These costs cover Thor: Love and Thunder, a movie in which Headey was cast but whose producers ultimately decided to delete her scenes. According to Troika, now known as YMU, Headey expressly owes them at least $500,000 for the movie Love and Thunder. Variety has revealed that she did indeed play a part in the original script written by director Taika Waititi, despite the fact that her inclusion in the Marvel Studios summer blockbuster was never promoted or formally announced. That position's specifics are still unknown. Numerous A-List actors were eliminated from Thor 4's final edit, including Headey's role. Christian Bale said that Jeff Goldblum from Jurassic World: Dominion and Game of Thrones co-star Peter Dinklage were cut from the fourquel. “I got to work with Peter Dinklage, that’s not in the final film, but I got to work with ...

Marvel Star Will Poulter Says Superhero Body Transformations Are 'Unhealthy' and 'Unrealistic'

Image
Source: Twitter Will Poulter, one of the MCU's newest actors, has stated that getting a superhuman physical change without a studio paying for your meals and training is "unhealthy" and "unrealistic." In a recent interview with The Independent, he said, "It's difficult to talk about it because with Marvel it's all secret squirrel." "However, the most important thing is that your mental and physical wellness come first, with aesthetic aspirations coming second." If you don't have the financial backing of a studio to pay for your meals and training, you'll wind up advocating something unhealthy and unrealistic.In that regard, I'm in a really fortunate position, and I wouldn't advise someone to prepare for that job the way I did." What is this job that Poulter is referring to? His role as Adam Warlock, a genetically engineered superhuman in the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 film, which will be released next year. La...
