I’m very happy that Mahershala Ali is playing Blade he’s going to do an excellent job! 👑 Wesley Snipes paves the way for the MCU to even exist! Hopefully they do a Cameo with WS in the movie! 🔥
Enheritance Derrico blade is a bout a vampire Hunter who is an expert at martial arts. I have never seen Mahershala Ali throw one punch that would lead me to believe that he could fill the shoes of Wesley snipes. Mahershala Ali is a sell out went to Disney and cut Wesley snipes throat
@@suburbiajones2268 He would have to get training to make sure he gets the moves accurate and precise. Even Tom Hiddleston, Scarlett Johansson, and many other actors would have to train extensively to get the combat moves right, based on their characters. So don't doubt Mahershala Ali just yet. He might not look imposing, but that could change within a few years. And besides, the new Blade movie is a part of Phase 5, and that won't be for another few years. Plenty of time.😁
Yeah but i am too used to watch mr Snipes as blade. I wont stand any other actor as blade until end of times. It is like thinking in terminator as other actor instead of arnold or rocky instead of sly or indiana jones or neo (matrix) etc etc. Sorry new blade, not your fault
@@neehime6 good thing you don't have a clue. Mahershala Ali is an Academy award winner actor...and the PERFECT casting choice for Blade! ANOTHER home run for Marvel!
I was honestly expecting a martial artist actor playing Blade, but once they announced Mahershala Ali will be playing him, I'm totally down for it. Yes, although he isn't most known for being a martial artist actor like MJW, I feel like he will do Blade justice, acting wise. He has the looks for Blade too imo. I'm sure he'll learn some martial arts if need be and there will obviously be stuntmen as well So I'm down for it.
I agree not to mention he’s an amazing actor, but sadly tons of people don’t see that he is a great casting because they’re stuck riding Wesley snipes dick (which was an amazing blade)
Not a martial artist but a damn good division 1 basketball player. His athleticism will lend itself to the role quite well. He can learn what he needs to before shooting.
Howard the duck was a flop that day because DC made the best Superman film... Marvel was dissapointed for making Howard the duck and they planned to make a Black Panther movie by casting Wesley Snipes but they cancel it because it would be also a flop but they didn't give up they plan to make a Blade movie starring Wesley Snipes also and it was a success. Blade started the modern day of Marvel films and it was also first Black superhero in Marvel films not Black Panther... if there is no Blade. There would be no MCU. Sorry for my English. 😆😆😆😆😆
Mahershala Ali is the best person they could have ever found for this role, he's an amazing actor and my only complaint is that the role almost seems beneath him. We are all blessed to have this movie happen.
@Mixedhero You got some good points but who would you cast as Blade? Wesley was THE Blade but he is way too old. Will Smith? Old. Michael B. Jordan? Killmonger. Jamie Foxx? Old. I could go on. Younger black actors already have different big role in the MCU. Maybe John Boyega but I don't think he could pull off Blade. Age is not the problem though. Look at Terry Crews - for a 50-something fella he is looking really great but I think he is too big for Blade. Forty five years is not THAT old to not able to get some muscles the natural way so given the circumstances I'd say that Ali is the perfect choice. Besides, as far as I know, Blade is not supposed to be super buffed, is he?
I trust hes going to beef up.. but it was a plus that Snipes is a real black belt in martial arts.. Ali I trust will bring Blade back to its glory days..🙏🙏
Let's pray Natalie Portman beef up to be woman Thor because in my opinion it should have went to the valkyrie girl Tessa Thompson she has a body strength and the you know know how to do what she do I don't see Natalie Portman as woman Thor
@@drokaiden1763 Valkyrie never picks up the mantle as Thor. Especially since it didn't happen in the comics. Jane Foster from The Mighty Thor run becomes Thor in the comics. She also has cancer which will be in the MCU
@Calvin Jones His crime is a bit different though got shit financial advice and trusted that it would allow him to save money. A bit different from a crime against a person.
I'm so thankful that Kevin Feige is in charge of all this. He's doing such a great job with marvel. It's just such a great time for superhero fans. I just wish DC had someone exactly like him. A man with a plan.
I do think DC had one, not someone that we know and heard of anyway. Unlike marvel which give directors the freedom to do their own thing, in DC's case, execs often times take creative controls. When things faq up, the directors takes all the blame...
Nayre they have absolutely no freedom lol all these marvel movies are so by the books and generic in terms of action. Black Panther is a perfect example of a great director being underutilized to make his own take on the movie that last action scene was definitely producers call not the director it was embarrassing how bad that scene was.
When the MCU first came out i was goin thru some dark times. Ended up creating a bond with my daughter over the MCU that helped me push thru. Thank you marvel for that and for the many yrs of new memories i get to create with her. #marvelmaniacs
It always bugged me how everyone kept saying Black Panther was the first black superhero when we know it is Blade. Wesley Snipes is awesome and made a great bad guy Demolition Man.
I don’t get this backlash tbh..Did Tobey McGuire get a cameo in the amazing Spider-Man ? No. Was the reboot even needed? Absolutely f**** NOT. This on the other hand super needed & awaited and Mahershala IS Blade basically, contrary to Tom Holland
@@natelyless469 Thats honestly fair enough, i guess its just that Snipes did really kind of kick start Superhero movies and show how they could be done, serious and dark tone. But Toby was a great Spider-Man in general, Holland has surpassed him though IMO, maybe this Mahershala might do with Blade.
So we got nick fury/black panther/war machine/falcon abd know blade marvel gone head and set it up niggavengers jk good luck my guy never expected to see a blade in mcu for a long time but here we are

Also wesley snipes. Was a terrible human being on set and an aweful burden tk be anywhere near. Read interviews about how it was to work with him or have him on their project
Blade was the first successful Marvel movie. It paved the road for the success of the current MCU today. Now don't get me wrong, Wesley did shoot himself in the foot by acting like a big shot doing the third movie which is why I think he ended up ultimately being knocked down a peg. But don't discredit the importance of those first two movies. It proved that the superhero movies genre can be done well and its appeal would stretch pass fanboys like me to mainstream audiences across the globe.
I really can't thank you enough for providing all these videos. It's definitely a lot more emotional hearing everything in the actors'/directors' own words rather than just listening to RUclipsrs' recaps. Thank you very very much!

But the series about Luke cage is also part of the marvel cinematic universe. It turns out that Cottonmouth and Blade are doubles or something? Or is there something I don't understand?
@@bullymaguire_005 I know about it. For example, I've heard of a girl who looks a lot like Emma Watson in her youth. But in the case of Blade and Cottonmouth, there is little faith in this theory. It seems that the bosses of marvel just decided to ignore the series from Netflix.
@@phatmantv no they already said the Netflix shows are no longer linked, before infinity war came out, one they where doing badly a and two it was hard for them to keep things hush hush, like Thanos's snap.
If Wesley Snipes is in Blade then he NEEDS to be Blade. Simple facts no one will play blade as cool as Snipes or as clinical in terms of fight choreography (cause he did it all himself). He could never play whistler he's blade ffs!
I liked the reaction of that woman in the audience shouting ''WHO IS IT?!'' Ali puts his hat on with the title on it. The woman goes BLAAAADE! Was she paid to do that? Because it definitely made it better...
Wouldn't it be hilarious at D23 next month when they're announcing BP 2 CM 2 and GOTG 3, Ryan Reynolds just shows up the fuck out of nowhere and is like, "Think you can get rid of me?"
I am so blessed to have grown up with these movies and to only be 25 now, I see how this is probably never going to end I couldn’t be more excited to live watching the beginning of a new era of comics
He was a definite surprise choice. While he is an acclaimed and very accomplished actor, he isn't a real household name outside of geek and film nerd circles. Many of us also assumed that they would go for someone new or less well known, someone younger.
@@thepiousskeleton6046 Scott Derrickson, director of "Doctor Strange" and a specialist in horror films, has said the Doctor Strange sequel will be the first horror film of the MCU. So who knows how far they'll start to go.
@@Janexcalibur Bob Iger said they'd only do R-rated films if they were under the Fox brand name. That's why Deadpool is still going to be R-rated and why it won't be connected to the MCU. Blade will be an MCU film so in the words of Kevin Feige: "It's gonna be PG-13 and you're going to like it."
Almost all those movies I don't give a crap about. I'm most excited for BLADE. He was the first movie success of a Marvel character, and stepping in Wesley's shoes from the first 2. I want it to be good.
No hating on Wesley snipes, but if there was another actor that could play blade very well. It will be Mr Ali. He's so captivating as an actor. I do hope Marvel includes Wesley snipes in at least the background while making the movie.
He could be the villain of the first movie or something. Hell he could be like Star Scream in Transformers just keeps coming back till the end of the trilogy
I know its kinda cheesy but I think it'd be cool if Wesley Snipes made an appearance of some sort in the new upcoming blade movie like how the orginal actress who played wonder woman made an appearance at the end of the 2nd wonder woman movie. The movie sure got a lot of flack but many were happy to see her make an appearance. It was a nice surprise.
@@avengerdannyrand8742 mm idk maybe bot BUT its kinda strange that morbius movies came out and then blade and spiderman is shared in mcu and the villains with sony..maybe just maybe sony wants to present the villains so marvel dont need to do more movies and only share the profits who knows

@@santaria19 Feige is so going to get promoted to Disney's CEO after fully realizing the plans he says he had envisioned for the MCU through 2028. The man is the most successful entertainment visionary in the last century at least.

Luke Cage:
"Cottonmouth?"
"No, Blade"
Exactly what I was thinking
😂😂😂😂😂😂
What if Cottonmouth became Blade after his death? 😁
gula-gula getah sabah this just confirms the show was never connected to the MCU. It was always so stupid how marvel tried to force connectivity
Another telltale signs those aren't Canon anymore
Good choice for Blade. I loved his roles in Alita and Luke Cage.
But the series about Luke cage is also part of the marvel cinematic universe. It turns out that Cottonmouth and Blade are doubles or something? Or is there something I don't understand?
@@user-lr4qd9hp5x I mean, to be fair. The actor for Mariah played a different character in Age of Ultron so...you never know.
@@Xenovation3334 you mean civil war
@@user-lr4qd9hp5x so what? In real world also there are many look-alike
@@bullymaguire_005 I know about it. For example, I've heard of a girl who looks a lot like Emma Watson in her youth. But in the case of Blade and Cottonmouth, there is little faith in this theory. It seems that the bosses of marvel just decided to ignore the series from Netflix.
This reveal still gives me goosebumps to this day
Normal people in the MCU must be wondering Cottonmouth and Blade look too similar
Cottonmouth didn't die. He's UNDEAD,
Ikr.
I guess their going with the multi verse angle, but it all just seems so underwhelming.
Not the first time an actor has appeared as something in the mcu and another thing on netflixs luke cage lol
@@phatmantv no they already said the Netflix shows are no longer linked, before infinity war came out, one they where doing badly a and two it was hard for them to keep things hush hush, like Thanos's snap.
I am so hyped for Blade, it would awesome if they cast Wesley Snipes as Whistler!
it's a no-brainer for me!
...even if he could also be such a Great Bad Badass Villain!!😈 Anyway, it's really cool he's involved!
Is whistler an actual character in the comics?
If Wesley Snipes is in Blade then he NEEDS to be Blade. Simple facts no one will play blade as cool as Snipes or as clinical in terms of fight choreography (cause he did it all himself). He could never play whistler he's blade ffs!
That would dope to do that
@@josephmoore9706 yes. He is
1:51 Chris' sweet gesture to Lia really had me ❤️❤️
I’m so pumped for this! Was a Blade fan for over 20 years!
Matching (or even surpassing) the badassness of Wesley Snipes' Blade is one hell of a challenge.
I liked the reaction of that woman in the audience shouting ''WHO IS IT?!'' Ali puts his hat on with the title on it. The woman goes BLAAAADE! Was she paid to do that? Because it definitely made it better...
No theyre just nerds.
If paid, they should have had her scream “DAYWALKER!!!”
time stamps, bro. time stamps 😢😢
Cuz everyone is paid right?
No I think they are just some dumb people. Don't give them too much credit
ECCvideo78 you must’ve never been invited to bday parties
Thanks for the better audio! I can finally hear Kevin Feige say "Mutants are coming to the MCU" 2:00.
I can't wait to see MCU X-men!
I can't wait to see Mahershala Ali as the Daywalker. He's going to do well.
the MCU keeping me from killing myself since 2008 or maybe saving my life since 2008. THANK YOU!!!!
I dont know whether to laugh or...
Same here man!! MCU is life
Same feeling here dude
Man if you need someone to talk to, just ping me on insta @nalayak.engineer
I know how you feel. Msg me if you want to talk. :)
Korg has stated that Vampire exists in Thor: Ragnarok when Odinson picked the weapon to fight Hulk
ohhhh yea
Haikal Official it was most likely an improvised random joke from Taika Waititi but yeah I guess that does confirm it
Lol that was just an easter egg from Taika, based from the other Taika Waikiki's movie which he"s a vampire
He is Thor, not Odinson. Stop your SJW bullshit.
@@waltermalone216 how is that a SJW thing?
Perfect choice for Blade
I hope this goes on forever. I went crazy when I saw the Blade hat on Mahershala Ali’s head, amazing casting
I can or can't imagine the screams when Feige announces or reannounces Deadpool into the MCU.
Wouldn't it be hilarious at D23 next month when they're announcing BP 2 CM 2 and GOTG 3, Ryan Reynolds just shows up the fuck out of nowhere and is like, "Think you can get rid of me?"
Ryan Reynolds must play Deadpool!
Deadpool won't fit
@@OvertheHedge06 F4 and X-Men too
DP will still be under Fox not marvel
This guy knows how to tease an audience damn
I am so blessed to have grown up with these movies and to only be 25 now, I see how this is probably never going to end I couldn’t be more excited to live watching the beginning of a new era of comics
Rest in peace king T’challa
2:43 That awkward smile and nervous look into the crowd hoping they will be hyped about it. That's the most humble facial expressions I've ever seen.
And a relieved smile right after.
He was a definite surprise choice. While he is an acclaimed and very accomplished actor, he isn't a real household name outside of geek and film nerd circles. Many of us also assumed that they would go for someone new or less well known, someone younger.
I just wanted Galactus, Fantastic 4, and X-Men. But holy shit BLADE.
Same
That revived Marvel?
Marvel is giving too much at this point😢
@George Tenner that's so racist i really hope shuri gets a black panther movie just like in the comics now
@George Tenner wow!!!
3 years later no trailer no picture no movie no clip lol.
Tom hiddleston is such a lovely guy. He was enjoying the announcements.
That was SUCH a cool way to reveal Blade
He looks like a young Wesley Snipes, good choice! Blade is the best!
Btw he is 45
No. He does not
He looks nothing like Wesley snipes
@@thebeast5054 If you were a casting director, who would you choose?
@@IronWolf277 Wesley Snipes? The dudes still alive
Amazing guy to play it I’m so hype‼️
I recently watched Blade in a theater, and boy did Wesley Snipes fit!
Loved Wesley Snipes but this guy right here?!?!?! BRO TAKE ALL MY MONEY. Just needs to be rated R and I needa hear "mothafuckas" every 5 mins
Yeah, there's no way Disney is going to do a rated R MCU movie.
@@thepiousskeleton6046 Scott Derrickson, director of "Doctor Strange" and a specialist in horror films, has said the Doctor Strange sequel will be the first horror film of the MCU. So who knows how far they'll start to go.
@@Janexcalibur Bob Iger said they'd only do R-rated films if they were under the Fox brand name. That's why Deadpool is still going to be R-rated and why it won't be connected to the MCU.
Blade will be an MCU film so in the words of Kevin Feige: "It's gonna be PG-13 and you're going to like it."
Meanwhile Jack Kirby , Tony Stark and Stan Lee smiling from heaven
I am watching this in Nov 2020.
Hit differently.
I'm super excited, I wish you all good Health with many years to enjoy all th it s epicness
Almost all those movies I don't give a crap about. I'm most excited for BLADE. He was the first movie success of a Marvel character, and stepping in Wesley's shoes from the first 2. I want it to be good.
I love Blade, but we are looking at a Disney movie right here ... its gonna be kid friendly, PG13 trash
badbook1 first crybaby comment here.👶

Walt Disney presents
BLADE
starring a black dude that doesn’t know martial arts
@@matttheamerican3766 neither did wesley before the movie sooo whats your point?
Suicide Rates drop to -10%
We dc fans will do sucide
Killing rate may rise... DC vs Marvel
People who killed themselves coming back from the dead just for this.
Nah either dc fans will die or Warner Bros get killed by dc fans. Seriously you Marvel won, we dc left with nothing now not so proud dc fan
@@keyurpanchal5285 I feel you bro.
I love Lia McHugh being so happy and jumping around. I hope she knows what she got herself in.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Magnificent, magnificent, magnificent, magnificent 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Welcome Blade to the Marvel Cinematic Universe 🙌🏼👏🏼what a perfect choice.
Hey stupid he never left
Welcome? Blade started the Marvel cinematic universe
Blade started the whole damn thing.
Estás bien wey!
Stupid
No hating on Wesley snipes, but if there was another actor that could play blade very well. It will be Mr Ali. He's so captivating as an actor.
I do hope Marvel includes Wesley snipes in at least the background while making the movie.
Lol sort of like a Stan Lee type of cameo.
He could be the villain of the first movie or something. Hell he could be like Star Scream in Transformers just keeps coming back till the end of the trilogy
Nope Wesley snipes is blade.
Wesley could play Whistler.
@@Buccaneer9 no he couldn't
Tears nearly came seven months after the fact. I cannot wait.
I hope the world doesn’t end before this comes out. You can never tell with 2020
Omg I miss cap and tony😫😭😭
Especially when the avengers theme song started playing 2:54
GOOSEBUMPS
Yea Blade is awesome.
Cheapest1 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yeah me too but i believe with Thor and Guardians of the Galaxy and Captain Falcon and Buckey will do well. Plus Fantastic Four join
It hurts 🥺🥺😬🥺
me too
Want to thank Wesley Snipes for giving me lovely memories of his role of Blade.
Thank Wesley!, you will be missed :(
Im sure hes reading this as we speak!
@@bornyesterday8976 I hope he does mate :)
@@Zoza15 lol love your optimism
I’m actually really excited for this!!
Got goosebumps when he said about the fantastic 4 ,x-men and blade
Blade is what started this ALL. I still remember when I first saw the club scene with Wesley Snipes. Man that was epic. Mahershala is a great choice.
He looks like him.
Yep! The club scene with the blood and the trance music (then Blade showing up and kicking ass/saving the kid) was iconic!!!
Crazy not seeing RDJ or Chris And Mark there at the panel not gonna be the same
😟
😢
It will make even greater when they return to the MCU
To Release is To Resolve hes said he still has more in the tank
Actually Ruffalo isn't done yet... Universal has a weird agreement with marvel according to which marvel can't make solo hulk movies
I know its kinda cheesy but I think it'd be cool if Wesley Snipes made an appearance of some sort in the new upcoming blade movie like how the orginal actress who played wonder woman made an appearance at the end of the 2nd wonder woman movie. The movie sure got a lot of flack but many were happy to see her make an appearance. It was a nice surprise.
Wesley already said in interview that he would like to play with Marshalla
Just like in Wonder woman and Incredible Hulk.. we will get that Cameo..
Kevin Feige knows how to drop the mic. Also Rest in power Chadwick, The King.
Vampires are coming to the mcu. Did you know Dracula is actually a doctor strange villian in marval comics. Now you know.
Umm, yeah? Tomb of Dracula and right now he's a major villain in the Avengers. Doesn't everyone know that?
Well i hope see morbius against blade
CrisMotion Production 🤔🤔🤔😁
Doctor strange 3: Doctor vs Dracula *BOO BLEH BOO BLEH*
@@avengerdannyrand8742 mm idk maybe bot BUT its kinda strange that morbius movies came out and then blade and spiderman is shared in mcu and the villains with sony..maybe just maybe sony wants to present the villains so marvel dont need to do more movies and only share the profits who knows
Wow Kevin......your doing such a great job with marvel, Stan would be proud🙏
Goosebumps!! Goosebumps!!
