Jordan Peele Blade rumors intensified this week after Monkeypaw Productions, the film company founded by Jordan Peele, made a cryptic post that set social media abuzz. The brief but mysterious eyes emoji, shared in response to speculation about Peele directing a Marvel Cinematic Universe film, quickly fueled fan suspicion that a new collaboration may be on the horizon.
Fans Wonder If Peele Will Direct Troubled Blade Reboot
After Monkeypaw Productions referenced rumors of Jordan Peele’s possible MCU involvement on Monday, fans zeroed in on Marvel’s long-delayed Blade reboot as the likeliest project. This speculation gained traction because Blade has suffered repeated setbacks, including the departure of director Yann Demange last year. No new director has been attached since, leaving the project in a state of uncertainty.
Social Media Posts Stoke the Conversation Further
The rumors reached new levels when Monkeypaw Productions posted a follow-up message on Tuesday. The update featured a still from the Key & Peele “Sexy Vampires” sketch, with the caption,
“When the internet thinks you’re making a Blade reboot because you said 👀,”
— Monkeypaw Productions
This playful yet ambiguous message did not clarify whether the company was involved with Blade, prompting more theories online.
One user captured fan sentiment with,
“I mean,,, you also didn’t DENY taking up the mcu blade project currently in development hell rn,,,, 👀👀 (please do tho it’s in shambles but I think y’all could cook w this one),”

Another echoed similar thoughts:
“well I don’t hear you saying you’re not!!!!”

Official Updates Remain Scarce Amid Rumors
Despite the growing chatter, neither Jordan Peele nor Monkeypaw Productions have confirmed or denied the Jordan Peele Blade rumors. The absence of any denial in the follow-up posts only added to fans’ mounting curiosity and mild frustration over the franchise’s lack of progress.
Meanwhile, Blade cast member Mia Goth recently confirmed that she is still attached to the film. She provided an update on ongoing development in early October, but official information about the director or production start remains elusive.
Uncertainty Fuels Fan Disappointment and Anticipation
The continuing ambiguity around Blade’s future and Jordan Peele’s rumored involvement highlights the growing unease among Marvel fans. As delays persist and news remains scarce, both frustration and anticipation continue to build, with many awaiting a definitive answer from Monkeypaw Productions or Marvel regarding the fate of the Blade reboot and Peele’s potential role in the project.
