Wesley is being diplomatic, but you know dude still feels a certain way about this.
because he bodied this role and has legit martial arts skills...thats going to be important forward...ali has to get his skills up and bulk up in the gymDamn brehs really just can't let Wesley go huh?
Yeah, i'm not doubting Ali will bring a better acting performance. but i suspect he's gonna look like Liam Nieson in Phantom Menace for his fight scenes
Marvel is good at casting and recasting. Spiderman worked out. But some people are the characters, like Blade. When you bring in a new actor you inevitably are going to get comparisons. It's one thing just comparing different actors like with a Joker role. but when one dude knew martial arts, and the next doesn't it might be disappointing. Like doing a remake of enter the dragon with a Oscar winner. He might act Bruce Lee under the table but them fight scenes though
Sometimes you just gotta let some shyt go my brother.
I wasnt prepared for AI Chucky.
But I accepted it man.
In the 2nd rendition he moved from England to NY as a child
Because you nikkas put him on a pedestal :loldenzel2:

You talking ultimate or they retcon his origin.
since marvel is already recycling netflix actors Bushmaster/Mustafa Shakir would be a ill Brother Voodoo cast
If they went with the Wakandan version of Kraven (which I think is a bad idea, but been rumored) he looks like the perfect casting right there lol
A lot of Snipes contributions to the character goes under the radar. He designed the weapons, created the sword spikes anti-theft system on it. He created a certain fighting style just for Blade it's not just simple martial arts system. It's more street-base and is mentioned as being jailhouse rock. Then he brought in his fight/stunt team to bring in that raw fight choreography. He also would keep David Goyer in check with some of his writing on Blade 1 & 2. For example in the first Blade movie, Blade was supposed to cry when he saw his mother as an adult. In Blade 2 it was written that Blade would shoot up them Reaper embryos. Snipes said that's something Blade wouldn't do. Even if you look at the comics they rebooted the comics more to Snipes portrayal of character when the movies got successful.
I'm sure Ali will do fine, but I think they should get some black fight/stunt coordinators because Blade shouldn't be moving around like he's from Asia. He should be moving around like a brother. That's definitely one of the main things Snipes stressed when doing these fight scenes.

I'm curious to see where Blade fits into the MCU.
He will probably fit in through a cameo in the upcoming Dr. Strange movie. I heard his own movie is not even in Phase 4 but for Phase 5.
A HUGE piece of the puzzle they wanna ignore. We already have very few black martial artist as is thats why we love Micheal Jai White too. Mother fukkers that can kick your ass in real life AND in film. This nikka Wesley said he survived solitary confinement cuz of his training. Its fukk everybody else in my book. A lot of These young white comic book fans even on here cant identify
