After Marvel’s jam-packed Hall H Comic-Con presentation on Saturday, there’s plenty to look forward to in the world of MCU movies. One of the biggest and most unexpected reveals came in the final moments of the panel as Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige invited Mahershala Ali on stage, only for the two-time Oscar winner to pull out a baseball cap that read “Blade” on it.
It was a huge moment as the return of the half-vampire superhero has been a big source of fan speculation in the MCU and many were expecting the man who played him in the classic 1998 movie (and its sequels), Wesley Snipes, to return. However, Ali is a big get for Marvel Studios as he brings a gravitas and seriousness which will likely entice a wider and more unexpected audience to the upcoming project.
