Mahershala Ali feels Kevin Feige "should feel" like a loser for biffing Blade
The actor made the remarks while promoting his new film, Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother .
Mahershala Ali expressed his belief that Marvel Studios' Kevin Feige should feel like a failure for the botched Blade reboot. Speaking to GQ, Ali stated that Feige should feel this way, even if he doesn't mean it personally. Ali had been trained for a year for the role, moving his family to Atlanta to meet production deadlines, but it never came to fruition.
He was set to start filming for his next project, Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother, with director Bassam Tariq, who he'd originally been meant to work with on Blade. Despite the setback, Ali remains grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with Tariq and is confident in his decision to move on.
