Mahershala Ali Has Been Cast To Play ‘Blade’ in the Film’s Reboot

It seems like MCU had plenty of surprise announcements in its bag to thrill us with, this Weekend.

After confirming Natalie Portman’s transformation into the next Thor, for the movie’s upcoming sequel and the much-awaited sophomore releases of Black Panther and Captain Marvel, the studio has confirmed earlier speculations of Mahershala Ali’s casting in the role of ‘Blade’, in the movie’s upcoming reboot.

At Saturday’s Comic Con, the MCU team made a number of announcements that literally made, those sitting in audience go bonkers, which also included a reboot of Fantastic Four.



Ali – who’s a two-time Academy award winner, replaces Wesley Snipes in the titular role of the superhero flick – which was an R-rated action-packed entertainer.

Would be interesting to see what Disney brings to the table with all these reboots and sequels.
