According to The Direct, Marvels’ Blade casts Milan Ray in a key role. There are no details on who Ray (The Wonder Years) may be playing within the movie. However as the title says the outlet claims the role will be key to the movie. They then go on to speculate possible characters Ray could be playing. Their top contender is Fallon Grey, daughter of Blade.
However, that is purely speculation on their part. Here is the information they claim to have got from their sources.
According to The Direct’s sources, Milan Ray has been cast as a key character in Marvel Studios’ Blade. Specifics about Ray’s role, which is unconfirmed by Disney and Marvel, are being kept under wraps.
The 14-year-old Ray joins the currently small cast, which only includes Mahershala Ali, Delroy Lindo, and Aaron Pierre (Krypton) at this time.

Marvel’s Blade movie is expected to begin filming later this year, however no release date has yet been set. So far there has been little in the way of story based rumors. A few claims that Kit Harrington’s Dane Whitman will show up. However that could just be low hanging fruit given the Eternals post-credit scene?
I am however excited to see Marvel branch out into the supernatural side. That’s not something I’d have likely said back in the Phase 1 days of the MCU. However Marvel has proved they can handle the weirder sides of their roster already and still maintain a quality experience.
As yet I have not seen Milan Ray in anything, so I won’t comment on her qualities as an actress. Though, Marvel usually chooses young actors well. I’m sure this time is no different, if this story checks out. For now it remains a Barside Buzz until we hear from an official source or a trade.
