Mahershala Ali’s Blade Picks Up Dubious Distinction as MCU Phase 5 Ends
For six years following Kevin Feige’s unexpected announcement of the Oscar-winning actor’s casting as Blade in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the project has been stuck in developmental purgatory. However, it is said that the actor is still connected to portray the anti-hero, a role he briefly filled with a voice appearance in 2021’s Eternals. Although the official premiere of this character remains uncertain, the beloved Daywalker made his MCU debut last year in Deadpool & Wolverine, with Wesley Snipes reprising his legendary role from the past.
