Ali is a great actor. He could have been great. There is no chance this can even be a 4/10 now
He was already 49 when first cast in the role and has no action experience or anything in his background that would suggest he would do well in an action role. Any action scenes with him as Blade will probably look about like Liam Neeson's scenes in the Taken movies.

Clearly one of these black actors should play Blade.

you put too much I to that.

Before Guardians Pratt has zero action. Now he’s in everything action.

This is an MCU film, not a John Wick movie. He would have been fine in their style. Shit the only person in the MCU that had action film experience was Evans and what he had prior was absolute shit. All could have been fine in a movie with a good story and an experienced director. Feige ruined any chance of that 7 years ago.

Jackmans Wolverine action was pretty much shit for a decade then post 50 with a good filmmaker he cranked out arguably the best comic book movie ever made.

Except none of the other msheu films were going to be judged against the Snipes Blade movies.

for the original story leak, they were going to replace blade with his daughter, so snipes would have been a great fit.

Blade is about the only Marvel property I was excited for.

Ali is the only thing that got that story changed. If he walks, it's probably going back to female centric.

What i'm getting from this whole thread is Ali is the problem.
that could be the case, Kevin Feige could also be the issue. suits keep meddling in these movies/TV shows and Feige could be getting orders from higher up the food chain to do this and do that, then later they change their minds and its something else. meanwhile the director is going in the first direction and then have to scrap everything to do something else while still keeping to the set deadline. thats a huge amount of stress. there is also no guarantee they won't change their minds again. i would walk the fuck off instead of putting my name to this trainwreck. when this bombs the director will take all the blame. Feige and the suits never suffer any consequences for their actions. Nia Dacosta got completely thrown under the bus for The Marvels. Dacosta more than likely deserved the blame she got, but she wasnt the only one behind this movie. Feige monitors all these MCU films and has final say over what goes out. even if he gave Dacosta free reign to do what she wanted. the responsibility still lies with him for the shoddy product. meanwhile, he's still putting out trash with nobody to tell him "no, stop. what the fuck are you doing??!!!"
