About This Trend
Blade refers to the iconic vampire hunter character, set to be portrayed by Mahershala Ali in an upcoming Marvel movie.
According to Variety, Kevin Feige has explained the delays in the Blade movie, stating that they didn't want to simply put a leather outfit on Mahershala Ali and have him start killing vampires. The movie remains in development, with Mahershala Ali still attached to the project. Further updates on the movie's status have been provided by Kevin Feige, who also discussed the project's script development. According to Deadline, the movie was a casualty of Marvel's push for quantity over quality, with four different scripts being written. The movie's release has been highly anticipated since its announcement in 2019.
