Will he? Blade is supposed to be a martial arts badass and this guy is pushing 50 years old and they haven't even started filming yet. In contrast, Wesley Snipes was in his mid-30s when he first played Blade.

So, unless Ali is in unbelievable shape for a 48 year-old, we're going to have a Blade that's not nearly as physically impressive as his predecessor unless they use stunt doubles/CGI aplenty.

Not ripping on Ali, he's a great actor and all, but I just think he's too old to start playing Blade, especially for what may potentially be multiple movies.
