One of the most exciting reveals at San Diego Comic Con 2019 was the announcement that there was a Blade movie coming to the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Phase Four of the franchise – and that Academy Award winner Mahershala Ali would be playing the titular vampire hunter.
Of course, Wesley Snipes had famously played the character previously in three movies between 1998 and 2004 – and there had long been talk that he’d be reprising the role, even though he’s now reached the grand old age of 57.
But Ali’s casting really caused a buzz – especially amongst those who work (or have previously worked) in the world of Marvel – and, in this video, we’ll be looking at how some of those Marvel stars reacted to his casting.
The stars in question include; Marvel Studios head honcho Kevin Feige himself, former Blade actor Wesley Snipes (who seemed to think he’d be reprising the role for quite some time), Guardians of the Galaxy actor Chris Pratt, Loki actor Tom Hiddleston, Thor: Ragnarok director and Korg actor Taika Waititi, Black Widow and Hawkeye actors Scarlett Johansson and Jeremy Renner, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse star Bryan Tyree Henry, and Luke Cage co-creator Cheo Hodari Coker.
We hope you enjoy the video! Please leave a comment letting us know what you thought about it – and feel free to tell us what you think of Mahershala Ali being cast as Blade. Will he be as good as Wesley Snipes? Give us your opinions!
