As a long-time Blade fan since the original films graced our screens back in the ’90s, I must say that this new version of my beloved vampire hunter donning Moon Knight-like armor has left me both intrigued and a tad confused!
A new version of Blade appears in a video promoting the upcoming Marvel Zombies series.
In October 2025, Marvel Animation will debut a fresh series titled “Marvel Zombies.” This spinoff originates from the zombie-themed episode in season one of the anthology show, What If…?. The TV-MA rated show is helmed by director Bryan Andrews and penned by Zeb Wells.
Disney+ will be showcasing various upcoming Marvel series in a recent release, one of which is Marvel Zombies. The video offers a quick peek, allowing fans to catch a glimpse of a revamped Blade character, who now sports armor reminiscent of Moon Knight.
It’s not immediately clear if Mahershala Ali will voice the character of Blade in Marvel Zombies.

As a die-hard Marvel enthusiast, I can’t help but imagine Blade stepping into the role of Moon Knight in the thrilling ‘Marvel Zombies’ series. It remains uncertain if Mahershala Ali will lend his voice to this character, but either way, the suspense is killing me!

What else do we know about Marvel Zombies?
In addition to Blade, the Marvel Zombies series will include Kamala Khan, played by Iman Vellani. Furthermore, you can expect variations of characters such as Hawkeye, Captain America, Kate Bishop, Wanda Maximoff, Red Guardian, Captain Marvel, Yelena Belova, and several others in this series.
Previously, Brad Winderbaum of Marvel Studios explained to IGN that they are currently working on an animated series titled “Marvel Zombies,” which is indeed quite intense and suitable for mature audiences (TV-MA rated). This project aims to remain faithful to the original comics by not holding back and delivering content as brutal as the source material.
2019 saw the announcement that actor Ali would take on the lead role in the MCU’s Blade reboot, but so far, live-action portrayal of the character by Ali has yet to occur due to repeated project delays. Although Ali’s voice was featured at the end of Eternals in 2021, a release date for this film with Ali in the lead role is not currently set.
