Marvel Zombies Fans Can't Handle Blade as Moon Knight

Marvel Zombies just hit Disney+, and somehow the loudest takeaway isn’t about zombies at all. It’s Blade. Specifically, a Blade-meets-Moon Knight mashup that has fans yelling at Marvel to finally make the Blade movie happen already.

Wait, Blade as Moon Knight?

Yeah, it’s a weird one, but the good kind of weird. In the animated series, there’s a variant fans are calling 'Blade Knight' or 'Blade Moon Knight' — basically a crossover take that blends the Daywalker with the Moon God Khonshu’s whole vibe. It’s inside baseball, but it plays. This is also Blade’s first animated appearance in the MCU, which is a nice little bridge between the franchise’s existing characters and wherever Marvel wants to take its horror corner next.

'Blade (Moon) Knight might be one of the coolest combo characters Marvel has ever done.'

That was the sentiment on Sept. 24, 2025 from one fan who also gave a shout to Todd Williams for sounding uncannily like Mahershala Ali in the role. Across social, people kept calling Blade the MVP of the show, praising how he just glides through scenes with, and I’m quoting here, 'aura.' Another viewer even pitched the simplest path to live action: use the Moon Knight connection as the on-ramp. The Khonshu tie-in does make that feel pretty seamless.

• Fans on Sept. 24-25, 2025 called 'Blade Knight' the MVP of Marvel Zombies and raved about his 'aura-filled' scenes.
• Multiple posts singled out Todd Williams for a Mahershala Ali-style delivery in the role.
• One recurring idea: Marvel Zombies basically proves you can introduce Blade via Moon Knight — the Khonshu angle slots right in.

So where is that Blade movie, anyway?

Marvel Studios announced Blade back in 2019 with Mahershala Ali attached. It’s been through multiple production delays since then, but it’s still officially on the studio’s slate. The response to Marvel Zombies only poured gas on the fire: fans want Marvel to ride this momentum and get Blade on the big screen, preferably sooner than later.

Between this animated debut, the fan love, and Marvel’s growing interest in horror, the runway is clear. Whether they use the Moon Knight route or not, the message is pretty simple: give Blade his movie and let Ali cook.
