Blade in Marvel Comics and Mahershala Ali in sunglasses
Summary A gritty new MCU concept trailer shows just how amazing Marvel Studios' Blade reboot could be, if it can ever get out of its production hell. Academy Award-winner Mahershala Ali was first announced to be cast as the MCU's Daywalker back in 2019, but, since then, he's only had one voice cameo as Eric Brooks' Blade in Eternals' post-credits, and hasn't actually been seen in person.
Blade's Troubled Production Shouldn't Kill It Close There have been concerns that Blade's tumultuous production period points to the project potentially being shelved at Marvel Studios. Marvel boss Kevin Feige neglected to mention Blade at this year's SDCC and D23 presentations, despite talking about other movies and TV shows releasing in the coming months and years.
The writer Feige is referring to is Eric Pearson, who has previously worked with Marvel Studios on projects including Thor: Ragnarok, Spider-Man: Homecoming and Black Widow, and contributed to the scripts for the upcoming Thunderbolts* and The Fantastic Four: First Steps. Pearson's previous work within the MCU suggests that Blade could become an action-packed adventure for Mahershala Ali.
There is a huge amount of anticipation to see Mahershala Ali finally suit up as Blade, especially after Wesley Snipes reprised his role from 1998's Blade trilogy in Deadpool & Wolverine. Blade has the opportunity to be one of the new faces of the MCU, but many have mistaken Marvel Studios' care and due process with the project as struggle, strife and misstep.
