Late Night with the Devil - pay for it on Amazon or youtube, or stream it on Shudder or AMC+.

Blade - new source claims that the “stripping down” of the movie has the titular character just fighting vampires…

Thanos Returns - There have been hints for months now (not the least of which coming from Josh Brolin himself) of Thanos’ return. Now we have legit rumor mongers saying it will happen. This time he will be a variant though.

Snow White - The Rachel Zegler led movie is still a mess in reshoots.

Silver Surfer - LaKeith Stanfield ALSO rumored to be cast as the Herald of Galactus in the Fantastic Four movie. Seems unlikely.
