Actor Aaron Pierre is no longer attached to Marvel’s Blade.
What’s Happening:
- Variety recently interviewed the actor at the NAACP Image Awards, where Pierre announced that he was no longer attached.
- Pierre was going to star with Mahershala Ali, the two-time Academy Award winner who is playing the title role.
- While Pierre was never confirmed by Marvel (only Ali has been officially announced), it seems that the first draft and most recent iteration of the project have drastic changes.
- As of December 2023, Ali is “encouraged” with where the project is heading.
What They’re Saying:
- Aaron Pierre: “Early on, there were conversations. As the project evolved, I’m no longer part of that — attached.”
