Director Chloé Zhao told Fandom that the voice at the end is Mahershala Ali. This is a huge deal because Ali is set to play the superhero Blade in an upcoming Marvel movie, Polygon reports.
- Blade is a half-human and half-vampire who hunts down zombies. He wears sunglasses during the day since he’s a vampire, as I wrote for the Deseret News.
Do Blade and Black Knight meet in the comics?
- In the Marvel comics, the two characters never had any major storylines together. But they both represent night-themed characters, along with Moon Knight, who is also coming to the Marvel Cinematic Universe through a Disney+ series. Blade’s biggest allies were Captain Britain, Doctor Strange, Luke Cage and Spider-Man.
