Blade was released in 1998, and now, more than 20 years later, Marvel is rebooting the franchise with Mahershala Ali as the lead character. The film will be part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and is expected to be shown in theaters sometime in 2022.

While there has yet to be any footage of the Blade reboot released, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige recently announced that the film's "storylines are coming together." He added that fans should expect additional announcements in the near future.

Ali is the only actor confirmed for the project thus far. The two-time Oscar winner is best known for his roles in Moonlight, Green Book, and Hidden Figures. He also recently starred in the TV series True Detective.
