An untitled movie that reportedly features vampires is in the making by Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan. THR even confirmed the premiere of the unnamed project on March 7, 2025. It seems Jordan and Coogler’s movie could arrive before a heavily delayed Blade reboot in the MCU.
Meanwhile, as Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan’s secret project makes headlines for the possibility of beating the MCU’s Blade reboot, IMDb shares the first look of Jordan from the set of his upcoming movie. Suited up, much like the Blade (1998) actor Wesley Snipes, Jordan’s image raises fans’ expectations surrounding the film on social media.
Michael B. Jordan’s First Look From the Set of His Untitled Movie
The longtime actor-director duo Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan are back with another collaboration after paving their path in Hollywood, with a remarkable filmography that spans more than a decade. Following their initial collaboration in the critically acclaimed Fruitvale Station (2013), Jordan and Coogler are now set to work on a film that is reported to be a vampire period piece.
According to ScreenRant, Ryan Coogler, and Michael B. Jordan started filming their untitled project as of April 2024. Corroborating the update, IMDb shared a first-look image of Jordan from the set of his unnamed upcoming movie. Although nothing can be determined about the plot of the film from the first look, the image significantly unveiled the actor’s appearance.
Giving out Wesley Snipes’ Blade vibes with his outfit and appearance, Michael B. Jordan offered fans a flashback of the 1998 Marvel movie with his stunning looks. Donning an outfit and even goggles like Snipes, Jordan blew fans’ minds with how similar his appearance looks to that of the former.

This indistinguishable appearance not only raised fans’ expectations surrounding the upcoming movie but also made them compare Michael B. Jordan’s film with MCU’s delayed Blade reboot.
Michael B. Jordan’s Movie Could Beat MCU’s Blade Reboot
Following the first look at Michael B. Jordan, from his upcoming movie, netizens began comparing it with MCU’s Blade reboot, starring Mahershala Ali. Since Marvel has been planning its Blade reboot for 5 years, as per ScreenRant, fans seem to believe that Jordan and Ryan Coogler’s vampire flick might be released ahead of the MCU movie.
Having an excellent shot of coming out by March 7, 2025, as per THR, Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan’s film is expected to beat the heavily delayed Blade reboot, which once again got pushed back to November 7, 2025. The delay in Mahershala Ali’s Blade movie was apparently caused by an unsatisfactory screenplay and production halts exacerbated by the dual WGA and SAG strikes.
Meanwhile, as Michael B. Jordan’s unnamed film is expected to beat Mahershala Ali’s Blade reboot in release date, it is also expected to be arguably more exciting than the MCU’s Blade reboot. Considering how fantastic Jordan and Coogler’s track record has been, the project is expected to have great momentum behind it. Also, compared to Blade‘s bumpy road to production, Jordan’s movie has had it smooth and lacks hurdles.
