The troubled Blade film starring Mahershala Ali from Marvel Studios reportedly “morphed into a narrative led by women and filled with life lessons.” Not only did one script turn into this, but Mahershala Ali reportedly was ready to leave the project entirely due to “script issues.”

This recent report comes from Variety’s Tatiana Siegel who claimed, “One person familiar with the script permutations says the story at one point morphed into a narrative led by women and filled with life lessons.”

She added, “Blade was relegated to the fourth lead, a bizarre idea considering that the studio had two-time Oscar winner Ali on board.”

Later in her report, Siegel detailed that “Ali was ready to exit over script issues.”

In November, YouTuber Overlord DVD shared a rumor that claimed to reveal why Bassam was no longer the director of the film.

He detailed, “The reason why Bassam Tariq, the director of Blade quit in frustration is how bad the script was.”

“Not only was it a rip off of a previous movie from another studio, but it was also laughably woke in a particularly distasteful way,” the YouTuber stated.

He later detailed, “Here is what we were told by source one, ‘Allegedly, the script was really bad, and to make it worse it stole the main plot of Underworld.”

“The first source claims in the script, Blade has a daughter, but for whatever reason she is not a vampire. He claims they were going to explain it using the mother and the way she was born.”

He continued, “In the script she’s working with her father aka Blade, mostly as intelligence. In the course of the script Blade’s daughter gets bitten. This wakes up her vampire powers. Then by the end, she is forced to bite Blade, which makes her basically a god with unlimited power. And she wins and takes Blade’s place.”
