One of the MCU’s most underrated villains is also starring in the upcoming and seemingly troubled Marvel movie,Blade.
In 1998, we were blessed with one of the bestcomic bookto movie adaptations of all time,Bladestarring Wesley Snipes and this was long before theMarvelCinematic Universe became a thing.
Check out the Marvel’s Luke Cage trailer below!
“A half-vampire, half-mortal man becomes a protector of the mortal race, while slaying evil vampires,” reads the synopsis ofBlade. We were then treated to a fun sequel in 2002 but the less said about the third movie in 2004,Blade Trinity, the better.

Since that 2004 disappointment, we haven’t had a newBlademovie, which is why when the reboot was announced in 2019 for theMCU, starring Mahershala Ali it sparked excitement amongst fans. Sadly, however, it seems the newBlademovie has hit several roadblocks and there are concerns that itmight get cancelled.
Whether or not theBladereboot will see the light of day, at least Mahershala Ali, has already starred in the MCU, albeit as a short-lived but memorable character.As writtenin a feature from CBR.com, Ali starred in the Netflix (nowDisneyPlus) seriesMarvel’s Luke Cageas the gangster, Cottonmouth.
If you’ve never watchedMarvel’s Luke Cage, I can certainly recommend it and with a bit of luck, we will see Mahershala Ali return in the MCU asBlade.
