Marvel’s new Blade movie with Mahershala Ali (Moonlight) is still, thankfully, in the works. And as if we needed the proof, today we have a duo of deepfakes that prove Ali will be a killer replacement for Wesley Snipes.
Check them out below.
Once again, the new flick might hit theaters in 2022. Either way, we’ll keep you updated as we hear more. In the meantime, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige recently assuring us fans that the reboot is “coming together.” Better yet, he says we will be treated to more substantial news in the very near future.
Feige says: “As we announced at Comic-Con last year, we’re moving ahead with Blade, starring Academy Award winner Mahershala Ali. The development and storylines are coming together, and we’ll have announcements very, very soon.”

Marvel’s Wesley Snipes-less reboot of the classic character for the MCU has no director is currently attached. But Disney and Marvel are currently looking for writers. There is no word currently on who they are specifically looking into. But a THR article says that they are looking for “Black behind-the-camera talent.”
The first adaptation starred Snipes as Marvel’s iconic half-vampire, half-human vampire hunter. Searching for the vampire that killed his mother and turned him into a monster, Blade’s fight leads him to Deacon Frost (Stephen Dorff). Frost is a rising force in the vampire world, set on raising a God bent on destroying mankind.
