Ryan Reynolds Seeks Fans’ Support for a Final Wesley Snipes ‘Blade’ Film

As fans eagerly await the highly anticipated Marvel Studios project “Blade,” starring Oscar-winner Mahershala Ali in the title role, the film is currently experiencing an unusual phase of development. This has led fans to explore alternative options, with one potential alternative gaining increasing attention.

We’ve previously covered Wesley Snipes’ return as the original Blade in “Deadpool & Wolverine,” where the acclaimed actor made a cameo in one of his most iconic roles. Fans are buzzing with excitement about his return, and it appears that the enthusiasm is not limited to the online fan community.

Shortly after the movie’s premiere, Ryan Reynolds, star of “Deadpool & Wolverine,” expressed his excitement about working with Snipes. He also joined the chorus of fans advocating for another Blade film featuring Snipes in the lead role!

In case you missed it, Wesley Snipes reprises his role as Blade in “Deadpool & Wolverine,” marking his return to the character he first played in three films about twenty years ago. According to the Guinness World Records, Snipes’s comeback was “25 years and 340 days” after his initial portrayal in “Blade” (1998), earning him the title for the “longest career as a live-action Marvel character.”

We’ve covered how fans were thrilled by his return and many are calling for Marvel to cancel the Mahershala Ali-led film in favor of bringing Snipes back. Snipes himself responded humorously to these fan demands. Meanwhile, Ryan Reynolds has also expressed support for a new Blade movie featuring Snipes.

As seen in his recent posts from the movie set, Reynolds has urged fans to join him in launching a social media campaign aimed at bringing Wesley Snipes back as Blade. He envisions a Logan-style solo film that would give Snipes’s version of the character a fitting farewell.

True fans of the franchise and character are sure to back this idea, and Marvel might eventually need to heed the fans’ wishes—making for an exciting possibility. Snipes definitely deserves a movie like this, and we fully support the notion!
