While we wait for Mahershala Ali to debut as Blade in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, fans would still like to see the original Blade actor – Wesley Snipes – to return to the MCU in some capacity. After all, Snipes made the character a cinematic icon as the badass vampire hunter.
According to an interview with Snipes, it looks like he’s had talks with Marvel President Kevin Feige:
“We’ve talked, man, and [Feige] always says, “Well, you know, we’re thinking about it, we’re trying to figure it out.” Then one day I saw in the news, and everybody started calling me up saying, “Hey, Mahershala [Ali] is going to be playing the new Blade.” I was like, “Well, I guess Kevin didn’t have my number. Okay.” So I actually don’t know. You know, I’m always willing to rock with anyone who wants to rock with me, you know? We’re doing similar work. We have wonderful product that we will bring to market, and if I can rock with Marvel, that’s great. If I can’t rock with Marvel, all right. You know? I’ll wait by the door. I’ll just put on some nice heels and a nice skirt and something. I’ll just wait by the door and say, “Hi Kevin.”
Would you want to see Snipes come back to play Blade? Or would you like to see him join the MCU in another capacity?
