Kevin Feige confirms R-Rating for Marvel's 'Blade' reboot

Several writers and directors have exited the Blade reboot during the development process.

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.
