Pierre moved to the biggest cinematic universe in the business with Marvel Studios after being a part of this show's main cast.
With less than a handful of actors attached to or rumored for roles in the upcoming Blade movie, this casting adds yet another level of intrigue.
Pierre made his mark on the David S. Goyer-developed series on the SyFy network at the age of 27. Pierre was the actor that Kevin Feige and Tariq were considering for the role, but the studio took their time and met dozens of other actors, with Pierre turning into the favorite recently. Whether he continues in future Blade movies or moves to other projects is a mystery, but it appears that he now has the services of an actor that will be a key player in the future.
Pierre's role in the film will be a "major role" in the upcoming movie, according to a report by a senior film reporter. The scene gave fans a glimpse of how Ali will sound in his new role, but the studio is still trying to find the right people to work with him.
The role is said to be one of the most coveted in Hollywood after director Bassam Tariq joined the team. Lindo and Ali have another person on their roster who may be in for a major role in the story of the supernatural.
The character made his MCU debut during a post-credits scene in Eternals, teasing his relationship with the characters. At San Diego Comic-Con, Ali came on stage with Kevin Feige wearing a Blade cap as the curtain call, but there are still a lot of details to be worked out. It was confirmed three years ago that it was in development, but there is still a lot of mystery surrounding it.
This news seems to indicate that Pierre could be around for a long time, even though there were no signs that he would play a hero or villain.
According to Deadline, the actor is set to join the cast of the movie, which is currently in pre-production.
Major stars like Delroy Lindo are starting to join the cast of the movie.
