Wesley Snipes Thought It Was Over For His Blade. Then Ryan Reynolds Called

by

As a gamer who’s been around the block a few times, I can confidently say that the Marvel Cinematic Universe has truly outdone itself with the epic collaboration between Deadpool and Wolverine. The movie was a rollercoaster ride of surprises, from the return of Wesley Snipes as Blade to the debut of Channing Tatum as Gambit – and let’s not forget Dafne Keen’s X-23 and Ryan Reynolds’ cameo in Blade: Trilogy.

Spoiler alert for Deadpool & Wolverine.

1. Option: The Marvel Cinematic Universe consistently grows on both big screens and streaming platforms for those who have Disney+ subscriptions. However, certain productions capture fans’ hearts particularly well, like the duo of Deadpool & Wolverine. This film has been a box office hit while also paying homage to 20th Century Fox for viewers who have followed the Marvel series diligently over the years. The movie is filled with unexpected appearances by popular characters, one of them being Wesley Snipes’ reprisal of Blade. Initially, he believed he had finished with the character, but a call from Ryan Reynolds changed his mind.

In the lineup for “Deadpool 3,” unexpected appearances by famous actors added joy to the cinema journey. Jennifer Garner reprised her role as Elektra, marking Channing Tatum’s debut as Gambit, and Dafne Keen joined as X-23. Wesley Snipes shared his thoughts with EW on his revival as Blade: “I was taken aback to have the chance to step back into the vampire hero’s shoes once more.”

1. Over time, our discussions have been quite intriguing, some deep and substantial, others lighter. At times, I felt it was time to shift focus, but that’s alright. I completed three of them, and I believe they turned out well enough. Nothing to scoff at… Now, we venture into new topics, and even greater ones, as well.

1) The argument was clear. Leading a trilogy of superhero films is quite an achievement, considering that the Blade movies were made before shared universes like the MCU and DCU became studio priorities. This means that Wesley Snipes could have chosen to move on from the character, knowing he had done an exceptional job.

It was already unlikely for Snipes to return in his iconic Blade role after Mahershala Ali joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Blade. Snipes has insisted that he’s the true Blade and even got a chance to make that clear during the filming of “Deadpool & Wolverine.” In an interview, he shared how receiving a call from Ryan Reynolds about the MCU’s third installment made him feel.

1. Originally, I didn’t believe it could happen. But when unexpectedly receiving a call from Ryan Reynolds after two decades, I decided to listen. He presented an idea that eventually led to approval and production. Even though Marvel and Disney had cast Mahershala for their next version, they were open to the new concept. And now here we are.

1. Once more, Wesley Snipes excelled in the role of Blade, delighting fans of the original trilogy. Notably, the third installment, “Blade: Trilogy,” featured Ryan Reynolds, a fact that probably facilitated the negotiations for his comeback.

Shawn Levy’s praised third installment subtly honored the rich history of 20th Century Fox before Disney’s takeover, with numerous cameos and behind-the-scenes clips from earlier productions like Blade, X-Men, Daredevil, and others.
