Mahershala Ali talks about delays with the ‘Blade’ film series
Mahershala Ali has been a part of the ‘Blade’ franchise since 2019 and has been stuck in an endless loop of waiting for something to come up about the films.

Ali addresses the upcoming action-thriller project ‘Jurassic Park’
While talking about filming for ‘Jurassic Park’, the actor talked about the challenges he had to face while making the film. He shared that “These types of films are so hard to shoot because of the way in which they’re shot; you can do one scene in three countries over four months. So I wouldn’t necessarily say as a performer, as an actor, that that’s necessarily enjoyable because it’s difficult; it’s hard to make sense of.”
“So I think if anything, you have to operate with a certain degree of trust that this is all going to fit together well, and so I guess the best part of it is actually completing it and getting to see what [director] Gareth [Edwards] was able to edit and put together. He just did a wonderful job in post,” he continued.
The film is all set for a theatrical release on July 2 this year.
