After the ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ Cameo, Fans Want Wesley Snipes Back as Blade

by

As a die-hard Marvel enthusiast who has been following the Blade saga since its inception, I must admit that seeing Wesley Snipes back as the iconic vampire hunter was like a breath of fresh air. The man single-handedly revolutionized the superhero genre with his portrayal of Eric Brooks, and his return to the role after two decades has only solidified his status as a legend in the world of comics.

It’s common knowledge that the Marvel Studios project titled “Blade” is generating a lot of excitement as it marks the introduction of the renowned antihero into the MCU. The role of Blade will be portrayed by the Oscar-winning actor Mahershala Ali, and Mia Goth has been cast as Lilith in this highly anticipated production, which is all we have on the project so far.

Meanwhile, before the MCU’s Blade debut, original Blade actor Wesley Snipes reappeared in “Deadpool & Wolverine”. Fans were thrilled as this veteran actor made a comeback to one of his iconic roles, and it’s no surprise that they are eagerly anticipating Snipes’ return to the character.

Although people are telling us that Mahershala Ali’s Blade film remains active, fans have been searching for an alternative if the project were to collapse, and it turns out they’re advocating for Wesley Snipes to reprise his role as Blade. In essence, they’re urging Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) to bring back the original Blade actor.

As a lifelong fan of comic book movies, I was thrilled to learn that Wesley Snipes is reprising his iconic role as Blade in the upcoming film, “Deadpool & Wolverine.” Having grown up watching Snipes bring this character to life on the big screen over two decades ago, it’s a surreal experience to see him return to the role after all these years. The fact that he has now officially broken the record for the longest career as a live-action Marvel character is truly remarkable and speaks to his enduring appeal as an actor. As a fan, I can’t help but feel a sense of nostalgia and excitement at the prospect of seeing Snipes back in action as Blade once again. The fans’ reactions have been overwhelmingly positive, with many calling for him to return fully to the role. It’s clear that Wesley Snipes has left a lasting impact on the world of comic book movies, and I can’t wait to see what he brings to the table in this new film.

There is no Fox Marvel Universe or MCU without Blade first creating a market. He’s Marvel Daddy. Please retweet for a Logan-like send off. #DeadpoolAndWolverine

I let out an audible shock when Wesley Snipes appeared on the screen. He was fantastic as Blade, and it was a thrilling instant for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Wesley Snipes is a true original who deserves more accolades. The guy is simply awesome!

To clarify, does he mean that there will be no update to the current format and we’ll continue with the Wesley Snipes version of Blade, or was it suggested that the Blade franchise has ended and the character will appear only in future Marvel Cinematic Universe films as part of a larger storyline?

In another possibility, they could employ the multiple universe concept and have both characters collaborate. Although it might be unconventional for Ali’s initial film, Blade, with his dedicated fanbase, could certainly make an appearance in other Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) productions. Why not even invite McGuire into the mix? After all, comic books have been crossing over characters for years.

Well, I’ve got to admit, it feels like a long shot, given the recent hints dropped by Snipes himself. But hey, isn’t that the beauty of being a fan? We always hold on to that glimmer of hope, don’t we?
