MoviesFeige calls the stalled Blade reboot a personal failure for Marvel
Monday, July 20, 2026 · via Variety
Kevin Feige has spoken bluntly about Marvel Studios' failed Blade reboot, describing himself in strongly self-critical terms for the fact that the film never got off the ground with Mahershala Ali.
The comments, reported by Variety, amount to a public acknowledgment from the top of the studio that the project did not come together as intended. Rather than shifting the responsibility elsewhere, Feige placed it on himself, presenting the stalled reboot as a failure of execution on Marvel's side.
Blade had been positioned as a major return for the character under Marvel Studios, with Ali attached as its star, so the inability to move the film forward represents a conspicuous gap in the studio's plans. Feige's remarks do not announce a new path for the project, and they offer no timetable or replacement plan.
For now, the significance of the story is the candor itself. Marvel's leadership is on the record that the reboot, as attempted, did not work, and that the studio regards not delivering it with Ali as its own shortcoming rather than a problem with the character or the casting.

MoviesAvengers: Doomsday gets a new trailer and poster from Marvel Studios
Monday, July 20, 2026 · via Disney UK
Marvel Studios has debuted a new trailer and a new poster for Avengers: Doomsday, according to Disney UK, giving the upcoming Avengers film a fresh round of official promotional material.
The release follows the pattern Marvel uses for its largest films, pairing moving footage with a single key image that can carry the campaign across cinemas and online platforms. In keeping with this page's spoiler-free approach, the announcement is reported here on its own terms: a trailer and a poster now exist, without any account of the scenes, reveals, or story material they may contain.
Doomsday is the next Avengers entry from Marvel Studios, a position that has historically made its trailers and posters major events for the audience following the franchise. Each new piece of material tends to mark a step in the long build toward a theatrical release, moving the film from announcement toward an active public campaign.
The debut therefore signals that the promotion for Doomsday is moving forward in earnest. Viewers who want to see the trailer and poster for themselves can seek them out through Marvel's official channels, while those avoiding advance material can do so knowing no story details have been passed on here.
