As a die-hard Marvel Cinematic Universe fan, I’ve got some exciting news to share! It seems like the original Blade in the MCU won’t be portrayed by Mahershala Ali, as hinted by the voice cast for the upcoming Marvel Zombies animated series on Disney+. So, buckle up fellow fans, it looks like we have an intriguing twist to look forward to!
It’s worth noting that the voice actor for Marvel Zombies’ Blade might be playing a different version of the character, while the voices of all the other characters are provided by their original actors.
In the animated series Invincible, the character Blade is portrayed vocally by Todd Williams, a voice actor famous for his role as Titan.

First MCU show to get Mature rating
The Marvel Zombies series is unique within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) as it is the first one to earn a mature rating, while Moon Knight holds a TV-14 rating.
Plot info
As a die-hard fan, here’s how I might rephrase it: After the Avengers have been infected by a terrifying zombie outbreak, I find myself part of a ragtag group of survivors on a mission to stop these super-powered undead monsters from consuming our world. We journey across a post-apocalyptic wasteland, putting ourselves in harm’s way at every turn to save what’s left of our home.
Ms. Marvel the center of the show
Blade also won’t be the leader or the center of the show.
Iman Vellani previously disclosed that “Marvel Zombies” features Ms. Marvel as its main character. More recently, Kevin Feige singled out this very character when discussing viewers on Disney+, stating that it was a key factor in the disappointing performance of “The Marvels.
In a past interview from 2023, Iman Vellani expressed her thoughts: “We completed everything, and it was absolutely fantastic! It was such a blast. The ‘Marvel Zombies’ series has some fantastic characters, many of them cool. Interestingly, Kamala plays a pivotal role in the show; they compared her to Frodo in the storyline, which I found simply amazing!
Release info
I’m thrilled to share that just like me, eagerly devouring a box set in one sitting, Marvel has decided to unleash all four episodes of their latest series, Marvel Zombies, onto Disney+ on September 24, 2025. Can’t wait!
Bryan Andrews serves as the director, while comic book writer Zeb Wells is responsible for the teleplay. The story itself is a collaborative effort between Bryan Andrews and Zeb Wells. The executive producers on this project include Kevin Feige, Louis D’Esposito, Brad Winderbaum, Dana VasquezEberhardt, Zeb Wells, and Bryan Andrews himself. Danielle Costa and Carrie Wassenaar serve as the producers.
What’s next for Blade?
As a die-hard Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) fan, I must share my perspective on Mahershala Ali’s Blade future within the MCU. In a recent turn of events, Kevin Feige, the mastermind behind the MCU, has expressed some unexpected views regarding Blade’s storyline, suggesting that it may not revolve around Blade battling vampires as we traditionally know. Furthermore, rumors swirl that Ali himself is opposed to a script incorporating magic as a central element. It seems there might be some uncertainty surrounding his involvement and vision for the character.
As a dedicated cinephile, I’m thrilled to share that Kevin Feige has announced some exciting changes regarding the Blade project. The initial concept, which was set in the 1930s (theorized to be what eventually became ‘Sinners’), has been discarded. Instead, it’s being reworked to unfold in our contemporary times, making for an even more engaging and relevant storyline!
The project was initially unveiled during the 2019 Comic-Con event. If it materializes post-Secret Wars, there would have been almost a decade since its announcement. It could potentially take even longer, given that the possibility of Blade’s inclusion may extend the timeline further.
