The new Blade movie is one of the most anticipated entries in Marvel Cinematic Universe, but the Daywalker's return has already faced obstacles. Wesley Snipes famously played Eric Brooks in three Blade movies starting in the late 1990s, finishing with 2004 flop Blade: Trinity. Years later, at San Diego Comic-Con 2019, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige made the surprise announcement that an MCU Blade reboot was in development. Mahershala Ali will play Marvel's Daywalker in the MCU, and the new Blade movie will be a total revamp of the franchise without Wesley Snipes.
