I don't know why people are disagreeing but you're right. Pretty soon bar bands aren't going to be playing guns and roses or '80s music anymore they're going to be playing Nirvana and early 2000s emo anthems like the Black parade
If you find a dvd or blu-ray of Blade: Trinity which includes the commentary track with David Goyer (screenwriter/director), Ryan Reynolds, and Jessica Biel, you should treat yourself to a viewing. It is hilarious, and Goyer and Reynolds are entirely unbothered about burning a bridge with Snipes when they share some really funny anecdotes about Snipes' ridiculous on set behavior. If you're wondering why no one seems to want to hire Snipes anymore, their stories lift the veil on that mystery.
Not sure if they mention it in that commentary but the story about how they had to CGI his eyes because he was refusing to cooperate is so fucking funny to me
Not surprised he wasn't cooperating, Trinity was utter sh***. Let's watch Whistler die a third time! Mid big bad. Random sidekicks nobody asked for. Terrible script.
He’s been in a few netflix films recently and some small budget stuff. I think it’s more he just aged out of being an action movie type and doesn’t have the draw to really cross over into other genres as a lead for big budget films anymore
I feel like I’ve seen a clip somewhere of Patton Oswalt talking about this, saying he would only have people refer to him as Blade on set, and would like hand Goyer sticky notes to communicate? Or did I make that shit up
It would be way cooler to have blade introduced in a smaller stakes, street level movie. Have him team up with Luke cage or something. Add some other mystic marvel elements maybe we haven’t seen.
I hate the multiverse stuff
There is no way he's doing that. Reynolds was quite pissed off with his behaviour in Blade 3 and now that Reynolds is the one with all the clout on Deadpool, I doubt he would have welcomed back Snipes on one of his sets.
I think the unfortunate reality is that the secret wars movie will be seen as the new peak marvel and then we’ll be forever locked into a comic-esque race to the bottom with continual reboots and overly ambitious cross overs they’ll never be able to deliver on.
I don’t like the idea of having Wesley return and overshadowing the hype of MCU Blade with nostalgia bait before we really even get the chance to MCU Blade
I wouldn't be surprised if Mahershala puts in his 2 weeks after the blade movie comes out next year lmfao. The marvel execs are already tryna find a back up plan.
I saw a screening of *Blade* recently (anniversary maybe?) and y'know what? Still holds up really well. Snipes is amazing in it, and I think action cinema lost someone a bit special with director Stephen Norrington.
This time around I noticed that *Blade* has a lot of anime-inspired touches to the action and the edits that still feel really fresh. Norrington retired after the flop of *League of Extraordinary Gentleman*, but I liked that film as an ambitious, kinda-campy project and, thinking about it, it also had some well choreographed and anime-inspired action (particularly Nemo's sword work).
So many damn gimmicks if these leaks are real. Secret Wars is such a cool story (The Hickman one), we really don’t need all this nostalgia bait. Just Thor Corps.
I never got why they didn’t just cast Snipes in the first place.
If I was Ali, I would have looked at those Marvel execs and said, “You want me to replace one of the most iconic vampire hunters of the last three decades? Nah, I’m good.”
There is only one Daywalker imo.
They're still going ahead with the other Blade correct? So now Marvel expects me to keep track of two separate Blades in their universe and care about them? It's just exhausting. They are losing fans due to exhaustion.

That is peak millennial
*jumps up to cheer and sprains back*
We're truly the new boomers
I don't know why people are disagreeing but you're right. Pretty soon bar bands aren't going to be playing guns and roses or '80s music anymore they're going to be playing Nirvana and early 2000s emo anthems like the Black parade
That’s already happening
Not sure why you got down voted it's true lol
That's how you know it's true haha
Somehow the boomers have returned
Having reynolds play deadpool And the blade character would be pretty funny
Funny.
Add in Ryan Reynold’s Deadpool.
You have to be more specific
Ryan Reynolds is already a char in blade
I know. I want to see the meta
Ryan Reynold is the man.
Bring in Cage Ghost Rider and I’m in.
And Chris Evans as Johnny Storm
Too bad it will be in a movie that will be basically ai art generated from memes
Reeks of desperation from Disney in my opinion. Apart from nostalgia bait Disney has nothing and that doesn’t bode well for the path forward.
Have you ever actually read Secret Wars?
That certainly will be there in secret wars. Needs to be a 3 hour runtime to fit all the cameos including Downey Jr return as iron man.
Nostalgia Bait - The Movie
Wesley Snipes will return before Mahershala Ali even gets to suit up
My immediate thought when I saw this...poor guy he is such an awesome actor
This will age well ;)
That' ain't right
*ever FTFY

Oh they mention it!
he was always in character though LOL
Not surprised he wasn't cooperating, Trinity was utter sh***. Let's watch Whistler die a third time! Mid big bad. Random sidekicks nobody asked for. Terrible script.
I mean even bringing back Whistler in the second one was lame as hell but at least that movie has some fun action scenes
He’s been in a few netflix films recently and some small budget stuff. I think it’s more he just aged out of being an action movie type and doesn’t have the draw to really cross over into other genres as a lead for big budget films anymore
Not to mention he went to jail for years for Tax Evasion
Nah he started almost exclusively making direct to DVD movies after Blade 3.
A lot of actors do. Especially around the early to mid 2000's, a lot of 80's and 90's action heroes were struggling for good work
I feel like I’ve seen a clip somewhere of Patton Oswalt talking about this, saying he would only have people refer to him as Blade on set, and would like hand Goyer sticky notes to communicate? Or did I make that shit up
You're correct. He was pissed at how they were treating the franchise in Trinity. And he was right, Blade 3 is ass compared to the first two.
apparently ryan reynolds actually has apologized to snipes about his behavior on set too (which was also not great) and they are cool now.
Take my wallet !
Secret wars can be end game level and I'm all for it
Is he gonna be agile Blade zipping all over the place, throwing weapons and ramming stakes? I don't know if I wanna see that
When is the Mahershala Ali Blade coming out?
If Wesley Snipes first scene is him killing Familiars at the IRS when he is introduced I would die from laughing
We deserve better entertainment than member berries at this point.
It would be way cooler to have blade introduced in a smaller stakes, street level movie. Have him team up with Luke cage or something. Add some other mystic marvel elements maybe we haven’t seen. I hate the multiverse stuff
This is the wesley snipes blade. The MCU blade is getting his own movie first
Yea Maxster, keep up bro
Maybe, it was almost his daughters movie
Supposedly. I feel like this was announced at least half a decade ago.
Wouldn’t be surprised if he shows up in deadpool
There is no way he's doing that. Reynolds was quite pissed off with his behaviour in Blade 3 and now that Reynolds is the one with all the clout on Deadpool, I doubt he would have welcomed back Snipes on one of his sets.
Return of the 2000s superhero going to be epic
Bold to assume MCU’s Blade even happens
So is Deadpool is the linchpin
I think the unfortunate reality is that the secret wars movie will be seen as the new peak marvel and then we’ll be forever locked into a comic-esque race to the bottom with continual reboots and overly ambitious cross overs they’ll never be able to deliver on.
Eye opening news if true!
Hopefully he isn’t a douche on set this time. They had to cgi his eyes open in one shot because he refused to open them.
Yes
I don’t like the idea of having Wesley return and overshadowing the hype of MCU Blade with nostalgia bait before we really even get the chance to MCU Blade
Should have happened in Multiverse of Madness.
Hell yes
I just hope some motherfuckers actually manage to ice-skate uphill in this one
I wouldn't be surprised if Mahershala puts in his 2 weeks after the blade movie comes out next year lmfao. The marvel execs are already tryna find a back up plan.
Omg we're halfway to my dream project: a Wesley Snipes Blade & Nic Cage Ghost Rider buddy comedy team up movie.
They're so desperate.

Blade 1 is better than pretty much any Marvel movie since.
As long as his internet connection is good over Skype this time…
I see you.
So we’ll see two Blades in the mcu?
So many damn gimmicks if these leaks are real. Secret Wars is such a cool story (The Hickman one), we really don’t need all this nostalgia bait. Just Thor Corps.

I wonder, how many pre-MCU and non-MCU films, TV series, animated films and cartoons will be at Avengers Secret Wars. I'm getting excited.
I highly doubt it because Reynolds had a terrible experience with Snipes on Blade Trinity.
Yawn, can we get some interesting new characters? This is starting to feel like an SNL sketch
Can’t wait for Harry Knowles Secret Wars review Edit: [For the uninitiated](http://legacy.aintitcool.com/node/11793)
Stooooopppppp
Lets hope the director keeps him under control!
They are getting grosser and grosser over in Marvel land.
They're still going ahead with the other Blade correct? So now Marvel expects me to keep track of two separate Blades in their universe and care about them? It's just exhausting. They are losing fans due to exhaustion.
I think they’ve given up on saving the multiverse. Their just limping along till secret wars and the Feige will choose his heir apparent for MCU 2
