It’s been six years since Marvel introduced that Mahershala Ali was tapped to be their new “Daywalker” within the reboot to their Blade franchise, however since then, the movie has gone via quite a few re-writes, totally different administrators dropping out, and finally being caught in limbo because the MCU itself is about to be rebooted following the occasions of Avengers: Secret Wars in 2027.

Although there have been rumors that the movie’s star, Mahershala Ali was near quitting the challenge himself out of pure frustration, he himself has by no means stated he was strolling away from the challenge and now it looks like he doesn’t wish to converse on the subject in any respect.

Throughout an interview for Vogue, the topic of Blade got here up whereas Ali was out doing promotion for his newest movie, Jurassic World Rebirth, after co-star Jonathan Baily requested him and Scarlett Johansson what number of Marvel movies they’d every appeared in. With Scarlett having performed “Black Widow” since being launched in 2010’s Iron Man 2, she’s acquired fairly a couple of MCU movies underneath her belt. Ali, then again, not a lot.

“Go away me out of it,” Ali rapidly responded to Bailey’s query with a smile on his face. “That’s a Scarlett query.”

Although Ali did voice Blade in an after-credit’s scene in 2021’s The Eternals, teasing his eventual debut within the MCU, the Blade movie by no means went into manufacturing and has been caught in limbo ever since. Although it has since been rumored {that a} good script had lastly been nailed down late final yr, nothing has come of it since. And it looks like Ali doesn’t even wish to discuss it as of late, as he might very nicely surrender on the character in some unspecified time in the future.

We hope he doesn’t, however Marvel is admittedly dragging their ft on that exact franchise as they’re now introducing The Implausible 4 and Physician Doom to the MCU.

Will they make room for the supernatural of their new MCU submit Secret Wars? We’ll have to attend and see. However Ali could also be operating out of persistence, and we don’t blame him one bit.
