Mahershala Ali says it is “ready” for the blade, but Marvel does not seem to be

The Marvel cinematographic universe Lama The restart continues to limp through the development of hell e Maershala aliThe latest update does not scream exactly the progress. While attending the Jurassic World: Rebirth Premiere, Ali was asked where things are found Lama. His answer?

“Call Marvel. I’m ready. You let them know that I’m ready.”

Ali did not give up playing the daywalker, but it certainly seems that Marvel Studios has put Lama On the backburner, if it is also on the stove.

This is the same project that was announced for the first time with important fanfaces at the San Diego Comic-Con in 2019. Kevin Feige He brought wings on stage to a thunderous answer, yet here we are, six years later, with just over a cameo of voice Eternal To prove it.

During the same stretch of timeDeadpool and Wolverine managed to achieve what many assumed would never happen by bringing Wesley Snipes Back as a blade in the Multiverse chaos of 2024.

That surprise cameo has landed well with fans, and now Ryan Reynolds The idea of ​​a real shipping film for Snipes float. At this point, it may seem more tangible than the version of wings.

Even behind the scenes, there has been a constant decay. Delroy LindoWhich once was launched in the restart of the blade, confirmed that it is no longer involved, and is clearly disappointed. Even if he did not say who was to play, he revealed how promising the early vision of the film was:

“When Marvel came to me, they seemed really interested in my contribution. And in the various conversations I had with the producers, the writer, the director at the time, everything led to being very inclusive.

It was really conceptually exciting, but was also exciting in terms of character who would have formed. And then, for any reason, it has just come out of the tracks. “

He continued to describe a complex character with deep ideological roots:

“There was a component of Marcus Garvey to those who were preparing. I am not saying that it would have been a garvey-hest out and outside. Not that, but only in terms of how the philosophy of this man, his ethos and what was guiding him.

He was a character he had, very similar to sinners, created a community, a black community. He was a character who was the head of this community. “

It seems the type of interesting and stratified narrative Lama It deserves. Still, Marvel let her snap.

Ali is still on board and still willing to wear the trench coat and katana. But while every year he appears and while Marvel continues to put out his priorities, it is difficult not to wonder if Lama He is further sliding from reality. If Marvel does not move soon, they risk losing not only their daywalker, but also the patience of the public.
