Just announced at Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con, Marvel Studios’ BLADE with Mahershala Ali.

That’s right, Marvel are developing a new Blade movie and it looks like Alita: Battle Angel and Luke Cage star Mahershala Ali will be playing the Daywalker, taking over from Wesley Snipes.

Ali is more than fit for the role – he has my vote. What about you all?

More as and when I get it, guys…

Here’s the full reveal:

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
