Blade is finally making his MCU debut in upcoming animated miniseries Marvel Zombies – but we're still not getting Mahershala Ali's take on the character.

Although plenty of MCU actors are returning to voice their animated counterparts in the show, ComicBook reports that Todd Williams will voice the vampire hunter instead of Ali, whose live-action casting was announced all the way back in 2019. Interestingly, this isn't the first time Williams has voiced an Ali character – he took over as Titan in Invincible season 3 after Ali voiced him in season 1.

Feige also revealed that the movie will now be set in the present day, after previous versions were reportedly set in eras past – including during Prohibition. However, according to recent reports, Marvel has "no sense of urgency" to get the movie made.

Consisting of four episodes, the show is set in an alternate timeline introduced in an episode of What If…? season 1 titled 'What If… Zombies?!' and follows a group of survivors as they take on an army of the undead that consists of familiar former heroes and villains.
