Marvel Studios' Blade movie starring Mahershala Ali was announced in 2019, and it keeps getting delayed. Now, fans are convinced the film isn't happening.
Featured VideoThe news of Ali's casting as Blade was super exciting when it happened nearly seven years ago, but constant delays and rumors of cancellation have left fans feeling hopeless. Since the project was announced, different directors and supporting cast members have come and gone.
Ali made a voice cameo as Blade at the end of Eternals in 2021, but the character hasn't been seen or heard from since... Unless you count Wesley Snipes reprising his version of Blade in Deadpool & Wolverine in 2024.
