Overview

  • ComicBook.com confirmed that Todd Williams will voice the Multiversal Blade variant known as Blade Knight in Marvel Zombies, replacing expectations of Mahershala Ali.
  • Disney removed the live‑action Blade from its release schedule in October 2024, and the project remains in limbo even as Ali is still attached to star.
  • Kevin Feige said earlier drafts “weren’t insanely great” and that Marvel refocused Blade as a present‑day story rather than proceeding with weaker material.
  • Marvel Zombies is a four‑episode, TV‑MA animated miniseries created by Zeb Wells and led by showrunner Bryan Andrews, premiering on Disney+ on September 24, 2025.
  • The series features many returning MCU voice actors, and Williams previously replaced Ali as Titan in Invincible, underscoring a precedent for this kind of recasting.
