Nah, I'm with Ali until he says "fuck this I'm out." He's both talented enough and in good enough shape that you can easily build a franchise off of him. He looks younger now than RDJ did in '08.
I agree that WS should be involved in front of the camera though.
I still say John Boyega if, for whatever reason, Ali doesn't play the character.
Yeah but u cant compare will and martin tho. I mean hell the whole thing is about them getting older . And the young ones were kicking ass. I mean the best scenes isnt even them.
This is blade vampire that ages slowly. Wesley can play an aged vampire cause 1 he deserves it and two he been bland for almost 30 years. You can fast forward into the future and it will work.
Marsh is suppose to be blade in this mcu. You know marvel takes like at least 2/3 years to make a movie. That negro will be 60 when he does 2 movies hahaha.
Nah u need a young blade that you can go for the next 10/15 years.
Aint mad at it. Would be dope too.
It can also be a new guy that just fits. The kid from cobra kai can make a good miles morales.
A little off topic but I heard a rumor Denzel refused to kiss Julia Roberts in the The Pelican Brief because he thought it wouldn't go over very well with the sistas. I don't know if this is true or not but he definitely had intimate scenes with a white woman a few years earlier in For Queen and Country.

I'm not sure how they've changed Blade in the MCU, but in the original film series he aged normally like regular humans. Whistler told Dr. Karen Jensen this when he mentioned Blade's healing factor.
As for movies, they only take a few months to shoot. It's the post-production that takes most of the time. Ali can shoot easily 3 or 4 films in couple of years. Furthermore, the man looks younger than his chronological age.
it is true he did not go along with kissing julia because it would hurt his base
Thats ideal but we all know it aint going like that. Also dont forget there ate other projects that they will do. He not going to do just blade.
And yes he looks young for his age. But can he fight not hating just saying. Dont want no damn stunt double lol. Wes is teal life martial artist thats what alot of people forgetting. I want him to have all the success and I support him. I just wanted a younger blade. Now that its Marsh lets go.
The things is he had already kissed a white woman on film about 5 years before. He just wasn't as popular at that point in time.
Any other films would just be cameos so there would be even less filming required by him. None of that stuff takes a very long time.
At the end of the day, this is Hollywood. He can definitely learn fight choreography just as any other actor does for a role. But they're still going to use stunt doubles. You think they didn't use doubles for Chadwick and Michael B.?
Black don’t crack. Plus with the way things going you ain’t gotta worry about sequels they will probably get one film from this group lol
Just give the shit back to Wesley and be done with it!
Niggas always tryna to ice skate uphill...

Wesley could play a aged Blade and still come across natural born to play the role but I'm sure he's even ok with passing the reigns but with his involvement and respect for the multi billions his efforts helped to spawn.
seems like a bunch of extra hype to drum up more interest in the movie......
Until they blow our minds with and epic full real trailer with Mahershala Ali's portrayal all this is sillyness and will continue to make marvel money before Wesley is even considered for another reprisal, and if Ali's trailer is wack, its going to get worse.
I truly hope Ali's trailer and movie is mindblowing and that Wesley continues to get his flowers but the world hasn't been working that way
so we'll see.

I really don't notice all this bad cgi yall keep talking about. Some is better than others but it's never been bad enough to help or hurt the experience for me.
nah for the money they say the spend
cgi looks weak
but i was saying this for years then it came out
that disney is bullying the cgi artists lol
It's in development hell now.
Honestly?
I'm fine with this.
Let them get this right.
If you have to start from scratch rewrite recast etc etc etc
I don't care.
Let's just get it right.
All these other stuff is just gossip to gossip. None of these folks ever wrote a script cast a movie run a studio etc etc.
I don't need to know how the sausage is made.
Get me the final product make it good.
No one REALLY cares how you get there.
I lol'd
The news got you writing like Mrfreddygoodbud.

By the end of the this saga.
We all will be broken.
All of us.
That version of blade wasn't comic accurate though. In the comics blade is more than100 years old and he was originally born in england. The mcu version might stick a little closer to the source material there prolly wont have whistler in these films since he was a character made up for spiderman the animated series.
Naw I never see it either I guess some people got eyes for it but for me cg all looks fake so not sure what makes Disney’s any different lol

Sorry... I did let my emotions get the better of me.
I have failed this board.

True. I brought this up before when I suggested John Boyega play the character. That said, the comics expanded on the character and made him more American centric years ago. By the 90s, you wouldn't know he was British.
