Marvel’s Blade Project Remains Alive with Mahershala Ali Onboard

Marvel’s Ambitious Modern-Day Blade with Mahershala Ali in Development

Kevin Feige, head of Marvel Studios, confirms that the Blade film starring Mahershala Ali is moving forward, and Ali remains attached to the project. In a recent interview where he praised DC’s Superman, Feige revealed details about the film’s development. Marvel Studios had commissioned four different scripts for Blade, including two set in distinct time periods. Although the team ultimately decided to pursue a modern-day setting for the cinematic adaptation, the film was temporarily paused. This decision was driven by a desire to avoid a simplistic “cowboy-and-vampires” storyline, aiming instead to create a high-quality film with a compelling narrative. Feige admitted that the studio initially had reservations about whether Blade could fully achieve this ambitious vision. Despite these initial uncertainties, Feige affirmed that the primary goal is to produce an excellent movie that truly showcases Mahershala Ali’s talent and delivers a portrayal that honors both the character of Blade and Marvel as a whole.
