After years of fans calling for the Daywalker to make it into the McU, Marvel finally granted our wishes yesterday. Right at the end of their monumentally-exciting panel about their Phase 4 plans, a new Blade movie was announced to be in development – with Oscar-winning actor Mahershala Ali cast as the vampire hunter.
Naturally, folks are going wild with excitement over the idea of Ali appearing in just a few years as the cult hero. Wesley Snipes, of course, played Blade in a trilogy back in the late-90s/early-00s and will be hard to replace, but everyone agrees that the Green Book star is the perfect choice to fill the role in the McU.
