Wesley Snipes played Marvel character, Blade, over the course of three films to mostly positive reviews. Fans really enjoyed him as the character and the films seemed to be a hit with critics as well. Ever since Marvel got the rights to Blade back a few years ago fans have been wondering if the vampire hunter would join the MCU as some point. During a recent interview with Deadline where he was promoting his new show “The Player” Wesley Snipes revealed that he has talked to Marvel about possibly returning to play the character again.
DEADLINE: Well, will you be bringing the vampire hunter back?
SNIPES: The project is controlled by Marvel and we did have a really productive and a wonderful meeting and we discussed a number of things. I don’t know where it’s on their schedule at this point, that hasn’t been decided. I guess it’s still up in the air.
DEADLINE: Could we see you going the ever expanding Marvel Universe in another way?
SNIPES: That’s a possibility too. I’ve always been a fan of these pieces and adaptations and I’d be nice to be a part of the family again. But if we don’t to a Blade 4 or something else with Marvel, we’ll do something else. We have some other characters and some other concepts that are going to be just as exciting and hopefully just as successful. The first season of The Player will be interesting as well because we have drama and action, which is what I like. It gives me a chance to do a number of different things.
From where we’re sitting, that’s some pretty awesome news. Even if Blade doesn’t return in his own solo movie there are still plenty of ways to integrate him into the MCU. Would you guys like to see Wesley Snipes return to the role?
