Many stars in Hollywood have successfully jumped from DC to Marvel movies, and vice versa. Ben Affleck, Ryan Reynolds, David Dastmalchian, and Halle Berry are just a few names on that ever-growing list. Chris Evans has even jumped back and forth multiple times with increasing degrees of success thanks to “Fantastic Four,” “The Losers,” and “Captain America: The First Avenger.”
Now, it looks like “Krypton” star Aaron Pierre wants to be the latest addition to that elite group of talent, as the actor has joined the cast of Marvel’s “Blade” reboot, which stars Mahershala Ali.

Things that go bump in the night

In addition to Ali, Pierre joins veteran actor Delroy Lindo as part of the cast. Lindo’s role is also undisclosed for the moment, but with shooting supposedly starting this summer, I’d assume that more details are coming very soon. However, despite having absolutely no evidence supporting these claims, I have a few ideas about their roles. There’s a chance that Lindo could be playing Deacon Frost, the vampire responsible for the death of Blade’s mother. As for Pierre, he could be Hannibal King, a private detective that was turned into a vampire, but refuses to partake in the curses that accompany the affliction. “Deadpool” and “Green Lantern” star Ryan Reynolds previously played King and Stephen Dorff portrayed Frost in the Snipes version of the story. Whether I’m proven right or wrong, we’ll be sure to update you as soon as details become available.
