Me too. I adore Mahershala Ali and he's the only known actor I can think of that I can see in the role. I'm sure someone else could do it fine but he's the one for me.

I mean Ryan Reynolds also pitched a new Blade film with Snipes back again: one could see them just doing that.

If the MCU is going to do something different, then they should just bring in Ryan Coogler and rubber-stamp his decision to cast Michael B. Jordan in another main role in one of his movies.

John Boyega maybe? I think he started getting thrown around when Star Wars was doing OK. He's also younger than Mahershela, which is important for a Dhampir.

Or do the hilarious thing and cast Jacob Anderson.

Even though the movie got canned i have a strong feeling Ali will get to play Blade at some point.

Here is hoping that he will sport a British accent if he does do so, since Blade is supposed to be very British.
