“Blade,” “Thunderbolts*” Filming Talk

This Memorial Day weekend has been notably quiet on the news front, allowing some circulating rumors to gain traction.

 


First, DanielRPK reports that Marvel Studios is in search of a new writer for "Blade," signaling yet another significant script overhaul. According to the scooper, Marvel has finally solidified the overarching story. The next step involves refining the script, with filming expected to proceed later this year in Mexico or Brazil.

Since its announcement in mid-2019, "Blade" has cycled through multiple directors and writers. Among them are Nic Pizzolatto, Michael Green, Beau DeMayo, Stacy Osei-Kuffour, and Michael Starrbury. A casting call has been issued for the film's main male villain, though specific character details remain undisclosed. Aaron Pierre recently stepped down from a villain role.

Directed by Yann Demange, "Blade" is still slated for release in November 2025. If filming begins this Fall, the movie might meet its release date. However, given Marvel's already packed 2025 schedule, a delay to 2026 is plausible.

Additionally, DanielRPK mentions that Marvel is also seeking a writer and director for a fifth "Thor" film, planned to begin shooting in Fall 2025.

In other news, scooper Alex Perez, via CBM, suggests that Marvel’s "Thunderbolts*" film will function more as a sequel to "Black Widow" than a traditional team-up movie. Described as similar to how "Civil War" was a sequel to "Captain America," the story involves Yelena dealing with Red Room remnants before being diverted to the Thunderbolts*.

Given the presence of three characters from "Black Widow" in "Thunderbolts*," the connection between the two films is unsurprising. The involvement of Bucky and U.S. Agent also indicates strong ties to "The Falcon and The Winter Soldier."

These developments hint at exciting projects ahead, despite the current quiet period.

U.S. House Of Representatives Narrowly Passes DJI Drone Ban Bill

The Countering CCP Drone Act Moves To The Senate, Sparking Debate Over National Security And Economic Impact   This past week, the U.S. House of Representatives narrowly passed the Countering CCP Drone Act, a bill aimed at banning DJI drones from the United States. Introduced by Congressman Mike Gallagher (R-WI) and Congresswoman Elise Stefanik (R-NY), this legislation has generated significant discussion and concern among drone enthusiasts, industry professionals, and national security experts. The bill's journey towards becoming law is intricate, requiring multiple steps. Initially introduced in April, the bill first needed approval from the House Armed Services Committee (HASC) and the Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC). These committees easily passed the bill in May. The next critical hurdle was passed last Friday when the bill, included in the 2025 National Defense Authorization Act, narrowly passed in the House by a vote of 217 to 199. The bill's next stop is the Sena
