VIDEO : Mahershala Ali Reimagined As Blade

Unable to play video. For Marvel fans, the promised land truly is a fully and complete Marvel Cinematic Universe, in which every character that Marvel previously sold off to other studios can be free to play alongside the Avengers. Well, one such character that came back into the fold is Blade, and fans have been thirsty to find out where, when, and how Marvel's vampire-hunting badass will reappear within the MCU. This image of Oscar-winning (and current Oscar-nominated) actor Mahershala Ali as the MCU Blade was inspired by Ali's recent appearance as villain character "Vector" in the anime-adaptation Alita: Battle Angel.
