The long-awaited movie Blade, starring Mahershala Ali, has been marked by constant changes in its production since its official announcement in 2019. Although Ali was initially confirmed as the vampire hunter Eric Cross Brooks, the project has faced the departure of directors and screenwriters, leading to a series of delays in its development.

Blade, more animated than ever

Recently, Marvel announced that Blade will make his first appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, although it will not be through the solo movie that fans were expecting. Instead, the character will appear in the Disney+ animated series, Marvel Zombies. However, the role will not be played by Ali, but by Todd Williams. This change has surprised fans, as the physical appearance of the animated version of Blade closely resembles Ali.

Despite Marvel’s decision, Mahershala Ali remains interested in the role; in recent statements, he requested to be informed about his availability. Kevin Feige, president of Marvel Studios, confirmed that Ali is still linked to the project, although the delays are a result of what Bob Iger, CEO of Disney, has termed an overload of projects. Iger has emphasized the need to prioritize quality over quantity in the production of Marvel content.

Feige also stated that Blade was not at the desired quality level and that the project had been delayed to avoid delivering a product that did not meet expectations. The Marvel Zombies series, which will debut on September 24, will address a crisis in which the Avengers face a zombie plague, while the survivors seek ways to restore order in the world.
