Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige recently confirmed at BlackTree TV on his press tour for “Deadpool & Wolverine” that the highly anticipated "Blade" reboot will be R-rated, aligning with the character's inherent nature and the success of other R-rated Marvel films like "Deadpool & Wolverine."

Feige emphasized the importance of not rushing the project to ensure they get it right, acknowledging the legacy of the previous R-rated "Blade" films starring Wesley Snipes.

The "Blade" reboot, announced in 2019, has experienced a tumultuous development process with multiple writers and directors exiting the project.

Despite the challenges, Feige remains committed to delivering a faithful adaptation of the character, highlighting the importance of maintaining Blade's signature dark and violent tone.

With a release date set for November 7, 2025, fans eagerly await further updates on the "Blade" reboot, including the announcement of a new director and screenwriter.

The confirmation of its R-rating has further fueled anticipation for the film, promising a gritty and action-packed addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
