Oscar winner Mahershala Ali — who was recently announced as the star of the MCU’s Phase 5 Blade movie — will make a special guest appearance during Season 2 of the Hulu comedy Ramy, it was announced Friday at the Television Critics Association summer press tour.
The acclaimed series follows Ramy Hassan (played by Ramy Youssef), a first-generation, Egyptian-American who is on a spiritual journey in his politically-divided New Jersey neighborhood. In doing so, it explores the challenges of what it’s like to be caught between a religious community who believes life is a moral test, and a millennial generation that might not believe in an afterlife.
