Wesley Snipes as Blade

Look, we’d love to see Blade in the Marvel Cinematic Universe – it would be awesome to see a vampire hunter fighting alongside the existing superheroes of the franchise – but rumors of Marvel Studios having held talks with Wesley Snipes about reprising the role are just crazy.

Snipes was fantastic as Blade in the late 1990s and early 2000s, but he’s now 53 years of age and not exactly looking like an immortal half-vampire.

If Phase Four rumors of Blade adding to the supernatural superhero contingent are true in the wake of Doctor Strange’s introduction to the MCU, we’re all for it. But it needs to be a young, fresh talent playing him – not an ageing actor who had his chance years ago.

And now for a rumour that is incredibly unlikely, given the current circumstances, but one that is terrible nonetheless.
