[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”27540″ img_size=”800×450″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]David Leitch has brought us the first John Wick movie, Atomic Blonde, Deadpool 2, and Hobbs & Shaw. So, what’s next for Leitch? According to the director, he’d love to take on Marvel’s Blade.
Kevin Feige revealed that Mahershala Ali will be the MCU’s Blade in Phase 5. Not much else was revealed, but in an interview with Screen Rant, Leitch revealed his love for Blade:
“I love Blade. And it’s actually one of the first stunt jobs that I was in, the original Wesley Snipes one. I was a stunt performer in that movie. I was in the blood club. You remember that scene? Yes, dancing around in the recycled special effects blood. It was great.”
Leith then spoke of Ali’s talent as an actor:
“Mahershala is such a great actor, and I’ve been fortunate to work with some great actors, and I never go wrong that way. Having him play that role is a big deal and would be really exciting. So, yeah, I would love to have that conversation.”
Would you like Leitch to direct Blade? Let us know![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
