On Saturday, June 20th, Marvel Studios and Kevin Feige made a shocking announcement at Comic-Con when Mahershala Ali came out on stage and shared with the world that he will become the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Blade. Ali will be taking over Wesley Snipes, who played the Daywalker in the original trilogy. Below is a statement from Snipes, telling fans of his to “chillaaxx” and embrace the new casting.
“To all the DAYWALKERS losing their minds right now, chillaaxx. Although the news comes as a surprise, it’s ALL good. Such is the ‘business’ of ‘entertainment!’ Much peace to the MCU crew – always a fan,” Snipes says. “Honor and respect to the grandmaster Stan. Congratulations and Salaam to Mahershala Ali, a beautiful and talented artist whose expressions I look forward to experiencing for many years to come. Inshallah, we will someday work together. Most importantly to my loyal fans, the incredible outpouring of love is overwhelming. I am grateful for the never-ending support. So, ‘nah fret nah worry, it’s not de end of de story.’ Welcome to the Daywalker Klique.”
Though not much else has been revealed about the film, Feige did confirm that the movie will take place in Marvel’s Phase 5.
