The man who will be 'Blade,' Mahershala Ali, talks Marvel secrecy, pandemic hobbies and adjusting to life as a two-time Oscar winner.
“It’s challenging in that suddenly there’s a lot to harvest so you want to make sure you’re not wasting anything,” said Ali. “Sometimes we respond by just saying yes to everything and the catch is that everything takes time. So you want to make sure that the things you’re saying yes to are not harmed because your focus is split. I’m just trying to manage it so I can take advantage of the opportunities and it can be something that continues to be a real blessing and fortune.
During the pandemic, Ali developed several projects, made “a lot” of music and produced an album with the rapper Radamiz, which they’re currently in talks with a label about.
