Wesley Snipes Still Open to ‘Blade’ Return
Let’s be honest here, there’s no way Marvel is making another Blade sequel starring Wesley Snipes. With that said, I could see them casting him in an effort to “pass the torch”. No matter, Snipes continues to show his openness to return as the Daywalker if the studio were to continue his storyline.
“I am very much open to all of the possibilities,” he told THR. “If Blade 4 comes along, that is a conversation we can have. And there are other characters in the Marvel universe that, if they want to invite me to play around with, I am with that too. I think the fans have a hunger for me to revision the Blade character, so that could limit where they could place me as another character in that universe.”
Snipes revealed he was once in talks to star as Black Panther, which lends to the idea that Marvel had a good experience with Snipes, even if he allegedly popped David Goyer in the eye on the set of Blade Trinity.
Blade is back at Marvel, but Kevin Feige has openly stated that they have no plans to bring the character in the Marvel Universe. Who knows what changes hype could bring – look at what happened with Deadpool. If you want to see another Blade, with or without Snipes, make your voices heard.
Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) is staying busy here in 2024, directing not only the werewolf movie Big Bad but also an upcoming thriller titled Drop.
The project for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes is being described as a “fast-paced thriller,” and Deadline reports today that Violett Beane (Truth or Dare) has joined the cast.
Newcomer Jacob Robinson has also signed on to star in the mysterious thriller. Previously announced, Meghann Fahy (“White Lotus”) will be leading the cast.
Landon recently teased on Twitter, “This is my love letter to DePalma.”
Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach wrote the script.
Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller and Cameron Fuller — “who brought the script in to Platinum Dunes” — are producing the upcoming Drop. Sam Lerner is an executive producer.
THR notes, “The film is a Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse production for Universal.”
