In an unexpected turn of events, the Marvel Cinematic Universe's (MCU) much-anticipated "Blade" project faces another significant hiccup in its already tumultuous development. Actor Aaron Pierre, known for his roles in "Old" and the upcoming "The Lion King" prequel, has officially parted ways with the vampire-centric film. Speaking to Variety, Pierre succinctly noted that he is "no longer part of that," leaving fans speculating about the future of his would-be character and the movie at large.

"Blade," set to star Mahershala Ali as the iconic vampire hunter, has been no stranger to challenges. From directorial changes to script rewrites, the film's journey to the big screen has been anything but smooth. Originally announced in 2019 at San Diego Comic-Con, the movie aimed to reboot the beloved character, previously portrayed by Wesley Snipes in a series of films starting in 1998. However, the path to production has been fraught with setbacks.
