"That's a Scarlett question." "Well, there's one that we're very excited about," Bailey quipped back, referencing Ali's long-delayed "Balde" reboot. Although the feature comic book adaptation about the daywalking vampire hunter has been in production limbo for the past six years,

Mahershala Ali has jokingly shut down talk of the MCU's MIA Blade reboot in a new interview with Vogue with his Jurassic World Rebirth co-stars Scarlett Johansson and Jonathan Bailey. "Can you name every Marvel Cinematic Universe film Scarlett and Mahershala have been in?" Bailey was asked in a series of quick-fire questions.
