It will go down as one of the biggest failings in the history of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In 2019, Marvel Studios and its boss, Kevin Feige, made a blockbuster announcement from Hall H of San Diego Comic-Con that Mahershala Ali would become the new Blade, and to a raucous applause and a viral celebration from fans hearing of a worthy successor to Wesley Snipes.Seven years later, in a full circle moment — also speaking from San Diego Comic-Con — Feige effectively canned Blade when he commented he felt like “a failure” for the movie having never once gained traction toward becoming reality. Now, Ali has responded and, much like Blade, he didn’t pull his punches.”Not with me,” he told GQ when asked if he feels the same as Feige. “The best way I can answer this question is, when I look at what is for me, is it was either this or that — and I’ll take this. No offense to them. I’ve been doing this professionally for pushing 30 years now, and one thing I’ve learned is that what is for you is for you and what is not, is not. For whatever reason, that project is not for me.”
