Badass Fan Poster Casts Jamie Foxx as Blade
We figure it’s only a matter of time before vampire-slayer Blade, played by Wesley Snipes in the film franchise, is brought into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. After all, Blade is a Marvel Comics character, so one would have to imagine that he’ll someday be joining the fun either on the big screen or the small one.
Recently, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige noted that “it would be fun to do something with [Blade] one day,” which was just enough of a tease to inspire artist Boss Logic to put his talents to the test. Boss Logic is known for whipping up super cool fan art that imagines actors in either roles they’ve just been cast in or ones he’d like to see them cast in, and his latest piece falls into the latter category.
He imagines Jamie Foxx as Blade, and god damn is the art badass.
Again, there are no current plans in motion to bring Blade into the MCU, nor has Jamie Foxx’s name ever even been mentioned in relation to the character (Anthony Mackie has, however, expressed interest in the role), but sometimes fan art like this is enough to scratch the itch just a little bit.
Check it out below and let us know what you think of Foxx as Blade!

‘In Flames’ – Exclusive Clip from Pakistani Psychological Thriller Finds Terror in the Classroom
Described as a ghostly parable about Pakistan’s insidious patriarchal order, Game Theory Films brings In Flames to stream at home on VOD, and we’ve got an exclusive clip for you today.
Written and Directed by Pakistani-Canadian filmmaker Zarrar Kahn, In Flames was the first Pakistani film to play in Cannes Director’s Fortnight in nearly half a century.
The cast for Zarrar Kahn’s In Flames includes Ramesha Nawal, Omar Javaid, Bakhtawar Mazhar, Adnan Shah Tipu, Mohammad Ali Hashmi and Jibran Khan.
In the thriller, “Mariam lives with her younger brother and their mother, Fariha, in a tiny apartment in Karachi. When Mariam’s maternal grandfather passes, his brother tries to manipulate them into signing over their apartment to him, a common occurrence in Pakistan, where women’s property rights are fragile.
“Mariam’s mother, grieving and isolated, is easy to influence. Mariam, distraught by her mother’s foolishness, finds solace in a secret romance with a fellow student, Asad. When their relationship takes an unexpected turn, Mariam becomes consumed by nightmares.
“Meanwhile, her mother, caught between her coercive Uncle and a murky legal system, is oblivious to her daughter’s deteriorating mental state. Mariam’s nightmares begin to bleed into reality. Mother and daughter must come together if they hope to overcome the real and phantasmal forces that threaten to engulf them.”
