Wesley Snipes Has Spoken With Marvel About BLADE: "We'll See Where it Goes"


Wesley Snipes has had some memorable roles in his acting career but for Marvel fans none is as memorable as BLADE. Now that the BLADE franchise rights have reverted back to Marvel Studios from Sony Pictures (confirmed back in 2013), some fans want to see Snipes return to the role but this time in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Of course Snipes would be down to return to the role but, at the same time, he's not sure what's going to happen. Although he teased (via CBR) he has spoken with Marvel.

"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."

BLADE is a franchise for mature audiences due to the fact it's about vampires and there will be blood. Marvel Studios has said many time they won't make an R rated movie but that doesn't mean Marvel Television isn't interested in using BLADE sometime in the future in a Netflix series. But as of right now, this is just Snipes talking and it doesn't seem to be much more than that as Marvel Studios and Marvel TV have their hands full with plenty of upcoming films and series.
