64 Just Marvel being Marvel...Marshala Ali apparently nearly left the Blade reboot because, at one point, the script "morphed into a narrative led by women and filled with life lessons. Blade was relegated to the fourth lead..." (archive.ph) posted 1 year ago by BrainJuice 1 year ago by BrainJuice +64 / -0 43 comments share 43 comments share save hide report block hide replies
Yeah he's actually a pretty talented actor. Really enjoyed him in True Detective.
Really good in Green Book too, which is a somewhat balanced take on racism that doesn't make white people out to be evil and instead encourages compromise and empathy from both blacks and whites. It's not perfect, but Ali was great in it.
FYI it was proven he was only hired because from certain angles he looks like Wesley Snipes. My son showed me the tiktok on his phone.
