Blade is a fictional character portrayed by Mahershala Ali in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) media franchise produced by Marvel Studios, based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name created by Marv Wolfman and Gene Colan. This version of the character is the second to appear in live-action, succeeding the iteration featured in the New Line Cinema franchise portrayed by Wesley Snipes and Sticky Fingaz. Born Eric Brooks, he is a dhampir often referred to as a "daywalker", a hybrid of human and vampire genetics that encompasses characteristic traits of both races. A gifted swordsman and marksman with immense knowledge of vampire lore, Blade specializes in hunting and killing vampires who pose a threat to human civilization.
Mahershala Ali began discussions with Marvel about playing the character in September 2016, before being officially cast by July 2019 following a successful pitch to the studio. The character debuted in an off-screen cameo appearance during the post-credits scene of the film Eternals (2021). He will make a full appearance as the eponymous protagonist of the upcoming film Blade (2025).
