In a recent interview, Wesley Snipes spoke about the possibility of returning to the universe of Blade, saying that discussions have been happening and they are “favorable”.
Snipes tells CBR:
Well, we’ve had some discussions. We have had very positive and favorable discussions about the Blade character and other things they have in mind. We’ll see where it goes. For those Blade fans, if we never reprise Blade, I have another character that will stand toe to toe with Blade any day. It’s not done yet.
Snipes last portrayed the Day Walker in 2004’s Blade: Trinity, which was pretty terrible, if we’re being honest here. Aside from the horrible miscasting of Dominic Purcell as Dracula, it felt like Snipes really just phoned in his performance. Personally, I found the second film to be the best and I’m really hoping that they can bring back the series in a fun, exciting, and charismatic way.
Still, if Snipes thinks that he’s got another character that could go “toe to toe” with Blade, that alone sounds rather fascinating. I could get behind something fresh and new.
Which would you prefer?
