Oscar winner Mahershala Ali is set to take on the role of Blade in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The two-time Oscar winner revealed the news this past weekend at San Diego Comic-Con.
The human/vampire character was previously played by Wesley Snipes in three movies released in the late ’90s and early ’00s.
Ali’s announcement came as part of a blockbuster event in which Marvel also announced a huge slate of TV shows and movies being released through 2021.
