Great actor, but his face is kinda goofy. Also, Wesley Snipes was RIPPED back then, dude looked like a legit badass.

Btw, I don't know where the PG-13 meme originated in relation to Disney, but they have already announced mature content for Disney+.

It seems Disney gave the OK for the new Deadpool movie to be mature so I don't see why Blade shouldn't be given the OK as well. I'm more concerned about the actor's performance. Snipes was great as Blade.

Depends on how he approaches the character. If he hams it up like Snipes, sure.

it'll definitely be a different Blade
i can definitely see them going more of the John Wick route with the new interpretation

John Wick was better than I thought it'd be. But Blade is not the same as John Wick.

Interesting that almost all great black actors are over 50. Perhaps Mahershala was the only option left

Whatever happened to Touchstone Pictures? Disney literally created a subsidiary to be able to have PG-13 and R rated movies. (This was before Disney embraced PG-13 under their flagship.) Then they were like, "Nah, it all needs to have the Disney name brand. Nothing more than PG-13."

If Machete can appear in kid's movies and violent R-rated movies, why can't Blade? Give him a standalone film under the Touchstone banner, then have him make a few PG-13 cameos in Marvel crossover movies.

He definitely can. He's a MUCH better actor, can easily get in great shape and the MCU has shown it has an excellent track record. Him not actually knowing martial arts is pretty irrelevant.

Dude, his spell casting was awful.

Exactly. Ali is a much better actor so the quality of the movie might be better but his portrayal of the character won't.

Michael Jai White should have gotten the role instead. He's buff and knows marital arts. Most of the fight scenes he has done often imitate Blades confidence and dominance where he strikes his opponent and keeps getting closer and applying pressure towards them

We'll see. Wesley Snipes had that badass mother fucker look about him but at the same time he played an awesome anti-hero but was still a good guy heroic attitude on him and he's a great martial artists.

Substitute John Wick then. Or a few other fight scenes with actors who aren't actually trained. Not to mention, they don't actually have to be "as good" as Wesley's to still be good and very enjoyable. This is a non-issue.
