Kevin Feige announced the reboot of Blade Runner last year when he announced that he had set the film's lead actor, Mahershala Ali.
The two-time Oscar-winning actor said in a recent interview with The Tight Rope that he had always wanted to star in Marvel movies.
"I used to make the Marvel TV series Luke Cage for Netflix. After filming that scene, on the day it aired, I said to my agent, 'What are they going to do with Blade Warrior?' ’”
"Because I've always heard that they want to reboot the movie. I'm excited to be part of the Marvel Universe and the TV series, but for me, my goal has always been to be a movie. ”
In addition, Ali also revealed that the vampire hunter who is a semi-vampire is more "dark" than other superheroes in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Asked why the Marvel character attracted him, Ali said, "I love his darkness. Mainly related to his tone. ”
"He's a little darker than the other characters, and that element is attractive to me."
Blade Runner is yet to be finalized.
