'Blade' Director Bassam Tariq Exits Project
THR has confirmed that Blade Director Bassam Tariq exited the project due to scheduling conflicts. This came after earlier reports stating the same information. THR also obtained quotes from Marvel Studios and Bassam Tariq.
Additionally, rumors have surfaced speculating a production delay, from November 2022 to January 2023, as Marvel not only has to find a new director, but there are speculations surrounding the film’s script — as they may have added a new writer to help revise it.
