Blade
Following the departure of Bassam Tariq, Big Screen Leaks reports Marvel’s Blade reboot will now begin filming with a new director sometime next year.
I’m hearing that BLADE’s start date was pushed back to at least the start of 2023. They’re searching for a director and hope to get the project off the ground again soon.

Scream 6
Melissa Berrera confirmed Scream 6 is set (roughly) a year after the events of Scream 5 in a new interview with Deadline,
No, it’s not [a big time hop] at all. It’s almost directly after the last one. Basically, the amount of time that has passed between one movie and the other is the amount of time that has passed in Scream time.
Black Adam
Pierce Brosnan also admitted he feels Dr. Fate’s origin story “sounds a lot of frufru” in a recent interview with GQ.
Dr. Fate has the Helmet of Nabu, which is a curse and a blessing because he is shackled to the power of the helmet. It’s an addiction. It’s a curse. It all sounds a lot of frufru when you talk about it like that, but it’s stuff that you have to lend your heart to. If you go into the mythology of it, whether it be Doctor Fate or James Bond, you know.

Fegley is said to play Charlie, “Jason (Joel Edgerton) and Daniela’s (Jennifer Connelly) son,” while Okeniyi has been cast as Leighton, “an executive for a high-tech laboratory.”
