Marvel Fans Frustrated With Latest MCU Delays

By Adam Barnhardt - October 11, 2022 04:57 pm EDT

After being bogged down by pre-production struggles, Marvel temporarily placed Blade on the back burner. After Bassam Tariq departed the project as its director earlier this month, Moon Knight alumnus Beau DeMayo was brought in to rewrite a script initially penned by Stacy Osei-Kuffour. Once Marvel executives hit the pause button on the Mahershala Ali-starring vampire thriller, combined with the fact the Marvel Cinematic Universe is closely intertwined when it comes to its storytelling, a snowball effect took place Tuesday morning.

In total, six movies were impacted by the delay after Blade was pushed back in the release schedule 10 months. Deadpool 3 was then delayed two months while Fantastic Four and Avengers: Secret Wars each got pushed back a few months.

Suffice to say, fans of the franchise aren't pleased with the latest round of delays from the studio—keep scrolling to see what they're saying.

Broke My Heart

The Marvel news today broke my heart, broke everyones heart, but it's for the best. I know with these delays the VFX artists have time to finish these movies in the best way possible, and that Marvel doesn't rush on these properties, so I'm happy yet sad pic.twitter.com/QpRZbI3BG3

The Fans are Losing

So, @marvel has had to delay #Blade because they can't find another director.
The fans are the real losers in this.
