Another major issue the Netflix’s Leave the World Behind star faced was with the scripts, as the early script had Ali as a sidekick in his own movie where he plays the titular role. However, Mahershala Ali’s recent statement in an interview with EW is worth noting as it will indisputably excite the Marvel fans who are eagerly anticipating witnessing Ali in the vampire movie.

“We’re working on it. That’s the best I could tell you, I’m really encouraged with the direction of the project. I think we’ll be back at it relatively soon.”

While sharing his optimism for the upcoming movie and acknowledging the direction of Blade, the Green Book star added:

“I’m sincerely encouraged in terms of where things are at and who’s on board and who’s leading the way as far as the writing of the script and the directing and all that. So that’s the extent of what I can tell you.”

Mahershala Ali is an incredibly lauded actor in the world of entertainment and fans’ expectations have intensified to witness the iconic vampire hunter into the MCU fold. After being announced in 2019, Blade suffered delays due to director change followed by the Hollywood strikes. However, Ali’s words are evident that we’ll soon experience Marvel’s vampire hero in the daylight.
