Delroy Lindo is set to join Mahershala Ali in Marvel’s upcoming Blade reboot.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Lindo is in final negotiations to join the cast of Marvel’s vampire hunter outing. No word on who Lindo will play, however.
Lindo is currently seen in Netflix’s western The Harder They Fall but previously gave critically-acclaimed performances in films like Spike Lee’s Da 5 Bloods alongside Marvel’s Chadwick Boseman.
