Overview
- Mahershala Ali has publicly closed the door on returning to the Blade role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, saying he is done with that project.
- Ali told reporters that Marvel Studios paid for roughly a year of his fight and weapons training during Blade preparation and that he used that training on his new movie.
- Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother premiered to strong festival reviews and registered a 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes in early coverage.
- Director Bassam Tariq, who was attached to Blade during its troubled development, reunited with Ali on the new film and helped repurpose the preparation from the shelved reboot.
- The outcome reframes Marvel’s stalled Blade as a costly studio failure that nonetheless left concrete assets and training that enabled an acclaimed, commercially scheduled Amazon MGM release on September 25.
