The film industry is continuing to ride the wave of reboots and revivals as a variety of movie reboots are in development or will be released soon. The entertainment industry is defined by trends, and one trend dominating the big screen is reboots. Through reboots, different movie franchises have been brought back to life, particularly in the horror genre, and in many cases it has been mixed with sequels, making way for what’s now known as a “requel”. Surely, not all reboots have been successful, but that hasn’t stopped the film industry from producing more and more from different genres.

Some movie reboots that successfully revamped their franchise in recent years are the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Spider-Man movies, Warner Bros.’ The Batman, David Gordon Green’s Halloween trilogy, and Scream (2022). Reboots have not only been used to bring franchises and universes back to life but also to expand on the stories of their main characters and introduce a new generation of protagonists, so there’s a lot of room for creativity. It’s not surprising, then, that various movie reboots are coming in the near future.

As the Marvel Cinematic Universe expands, the more chances it has to give new life to characters who already have big-screen adaptations. Falling into the latter category is Blade. The dhampir, previously played by Wesley Snipes in the Blade trilogy in the late 1990s/early 2000s, is now being rebooted by Marvel. Blade will be played by Mahershala Ali, joined by Mia Goth and Delroy Lindo in the cast of Blade. The movie is scheduled as part of Phase 5, meaning Blade could join the crossover events in Avengers 5 and Avengers: Secret Wars at the end of Phase 6.
