Supporting Characters Are Described In The Blade Casting Call

This article deals with RUMORS and SPOILERS, so beware!

A reboot of the Blade film franchise is gearing up at Marvel Studios, Jon Divens Coproducer and the folks at Murphy’s Multiverse say they’ve gotten their hands on character descriptions that are being used as part of the casting process. The characters they’ve heard about are:

On the Murphy’s Multiverse website, they’re speculating that these characters are actually Blade’s fellow vampire hunters, introduced in the pages of Tomb of Dracula. They suspect that “Abid” is Taj Nital, “Huntley” is Quincy Harker, and “Faiza” is Rachel van Helsing:

If Taj Nital, Quincy Harker, and Rachel van Helsing are indeed part of the story, it sounds like the new Blade movie could be building up to a confrontation with Dracula.

Blade himself is being played by Mahershala Ali, who made his debut as the character in an Eternals post-credits scene (although we only heard his voice there). Delroy Lindo is also in the cast, but we don’t know who he’s playing.

The Blade movie is set to be directed by Bassam Tariq (Mogul Mowgli) from a screenplay by Stacy Osei-Kuffour, who previously worked on the Watchmen TV series. Filming is expected to begin this summer.

Court Tells State Bar to Look Into Whether Discrimination Contributed To Black Lawyer's Disbarment

California’s Supreme Court has told the state bar, for the second time, to consider whether discrimination played a role in its decision to disbar a Black lawyer . In Harper on Discipline, six justices this week granted former El Cerrito solo practitioner Gregory Harper’s petition to review “whether the state bar’s facially neutral disciplinary practices … had the effect of discriminating against Harper on the issue of race.” A California attorney who was disbarred two years ago when a state bar judge believed he practiced while suffering from bipolar disorder has been given an evidentiary hearing to determine whether his disbarment was discriminatory, the court concluded Friday. The California Supreme Court pointed to a 2019 study commissioned by the state bar that found Black men have historically been placed on probation and disbarred at rates three to four times higher than white men.
