The Marvel Cinematic Universe is constantly expanding and we are currently in the middle of Phase Five. One of the most anticipated upcoming Marvel movies it is definitely the Blade, which will see Mahershala Ali take on the title role made famous by Wesley Snipes. The Oscar-winning actor technically made his MCU debut in his post-credits scene Eternal ones, although we only heard his voice. The scene appeared Kit Haringtonby Dane Whitman, and rumors quickly spread that he might play a role in the vampiric blockbuster. And now the Game of Thrones The alum has clarified his possible involvement in this news Blade film.
While Eternal ones failed to perform at the box office, Chloé Zhao’s film introduced a ton of new characters that have the potential to become major presences in the larger MCU. While Dane Whitman was a civilian throughout the film, the post-concert scene revealed that he was in possession of the Ebony Blade, which is an enchanted sword in the comics. Kit Harington recently appeared at Superhero Comic Con, and a video from Twitter it showed him addressing that scene and his rumored role Blade. Answer honestly by sharing:
The honest answer is I think that’s the intention with the character. I think there was some misunderstanding about whether he would be in the Blade movie. He was never meant to be in the Blade movie and he isn’t.
Well, here it is. While Chloé Zhao briefly collaborated with Mahershala Ali in this Eternal ones scene, he was seemingly never going to set up Harington’s role Blade. Maybe a crossover could happen sometime in the future, but the UNDERSTOOD The actor made it clear that he will not be appearing in the upcoming reboot. We’ll just have to see what Kevin Feige and company have up their sleeve for the future.
Kit Harington’s comments about his future at Marvel may be disappointing for fans who were hoping to see him and Ali’s vampiric superhero team during his Blade. But it might make more sense for the character to have an origin story and his own movie before doing crossovers with other members of the shared universe. Although this raises even more questions about what’s next for Dane Whitman.
Eternal ones had a ton of hype surrounding it before its release, thanks to its stellar cast of actors and Zhao’s use of amazingly practical locations. Unfortunately, Eternal ones it was a box office disappointment, and MCU audiences had trouble connecting with the new team of heroes. It has been no news from the studio or director about a possible sequel, despite the cliffhanger ending. But moviegoers were eager to learn any information, especially about Tiamut’s frozen corpse that nearly destroyed the Earth.
The next Marvel to hit theaters is The Marvels on November 10. In the meantime, check it out 2023 movie release dates to plan your next cinema experience.
