Blade Delay RUMOR: Wesley Snipes Crossover?

by

People eagerly anticipating Mahershala Ali’s first appearance as Marvel Studios’ new Daywalker have been feeling a profound sense of disappointment, almost as if they’re dwelling in a universe of sorrow. I too share this sentiment, given that the cancellation of the Blade reboot from the 2025 film schedule has left a lingering pain. The project was initially announced in 2019, and since then, our only glimpse of it has been the Eternals post-credits scene.

Although I can’t guarantee it, there are rumors suggesting that the delay in Blade’s reboot may be due to Marvel prioritizing multiverse-related projects. This speculation aligns with my hopes expressed during the Avengers: Doomsday casting-with-chairs event yesterday, as shared by social media scooper MyTimeToShineH via CBM. Keep in mind, however, that Marvel doesn’t often provide definitive information about projects that don’t materialize right away.

Indeed, it seems that the much-anticipated appearance of Deadpool and Wolverine, played by Wesley Snipes, has caused quite a stir. It’s been whispered that Mahershala Ali’s first official Marvel Cinematic Universe role could be an adventure featuring Wesley Snipes’ original character variant.

The Disney Plus and Hulu Bundle costs only $10.99 per month, making it an affordable option for streaming the upcoming MCU’s Blade film. Unfortunately, none of the original trilogy can be found on any subscription-based service. However, with this bundle, you can watch Wesley Snipes’ return to the role for just $10.99 a month. For those who prefer ad-free streaming, the bundle costs $19.99 per month.

Looking back at yesterday’s Avengers: Doomsday, it all seems quite logical now. Given that Channing Tatum’s Gambit was added to the extensive list of characters set to face off against Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom, it makes perfect sense for Wesley Snipes’ Marvel character history to continue growing.

As a cinephile, I can’t help but express my excitement about the introduction of a new vampire hunter in this film, a character who promises to carry on the legendary legacy of Blade. The notion that “There’s only been one Blade, there’s only ever gonna be one Blade” has been echoing in our minds since we first witnessed his prowess in the theater or streamed him through Disney+. This statement resonates deeply within us all.

The fact that Mahershala Ali’s new approach isn’t being well received doesn’t mean his interpretation is unwanted, but rather it should serve as a reminder to those responsible for the revamp about Blade’s unique status as one of the rare non-MCU films to achieve success at the box office. Given the complexity of adapting Marv Wolfman’s character, it’s not surprising that it has always appeared challenging. The removal of Blade from Disney/Marvel’s release schedule underscores the heightened challenges in a post-Iron Man era where PG-13 blockbusters have set the pace.

As a die-hard Marvel fan, I’ve always felt that Wesley Snipes’ iconic lines from the Deadpool & Wolverine storyline were destined to become a part of Eric Brooks’ legendary quotes. Marvel Studios has been meticulously crafting these words, aiming to serve up another mouthwatering quote for our favorite characters. The cooking of this meal requires precision, as hinted by Kevin Feige’s comments on the delay of Blade. Now, with Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman’s electrifying team-up, the stakes have risen even higher.

With the Multiverse narrative unfolding and the path cleared for adult-oriented Marvel comics films, it seems that Blade’s moment to take center stage is long overdue. This timing couldn’t be more fortuitous given that, at the time this tale was penned, the MCU’s Blade project had experienced a director departure, as well as six different writers and nearly as many years in production.

Typically, a delay during such an endless wait could be catastrophic. But if this rumor turns out to be accurate, watching Wesley Snipes hand over his spiked sword of justice to Mahershala Ali will make it all worth the wait in the end. And why not…it seems to be working for the X-Men!
