Mahershala Ali is all set to become a major Marvel star by starring as the titular character Blade in the upcoming reboot. Yet it seems his journey of becoming the daywalker Blade is more disastrous and complex than one can anticipate, for the project just seems to get delayed after delays.
After reports of various developmental delays, there haven’t been any new updates for a few months on the project. And as per a piece of recent news about the actor, it seems to hint he might have just committed a career blunder by rejecting one DC movie forBlade.
Mahershala Ali Might Have Committed A Career Blunder
Mahershala Alias Blade would be an exciting addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. But ever since his inclusion was first announced in July 2019 (viaIGN), there has been no conclusively positive news so far. Instead what fans have gotten is a series of unfortunate news involving actors leaving, multiple script changes, and developmental delays.

While the movie is slated to release in 2025 there has been no news of its production starting any time soon after getting delayed by the twin Hollywood strikes (viaTHR). As perThe Sneider Cutpodcast, Ali might have just committed a career blunder by choosing the project.
Reportedly the actor was the first choice for the role of Commissioner Jim Gordon for the DC movie,The BatmanstarringRobert Pattinson. However, due to the then-shooting schedule of theBladereboot, the actor had to let go of the role.
While we all know the reboot Marvel movie is nowhere near complete, Ali might have just made the biggest mistake of his career by letting go ofThe Batman. Not only has theMatt Reeves‘ DC flick released and was very well received,but even its sequel is in the works.
