Wesley Snipes Thought Blade Return in ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ Wouldn’t Make Sense With MCU’s Reboot on the Way; He Originally Moved on After Talks for Fourth Movie Died
Wesley Snipes never expected to play Blade again 20 years after his last Marvel movie. Then Ryan Reynolds texted him about "Deadpool & Wolverine."
“Over the years, we’ve had very interesting conversations, some of them very substantive and some of them not,” Snipes told EW about bringing his iteration of Blade back for a fourth go-around. It was announced on June 12 that director Yann Demange was exiting the movie and that a new screenwriter, Eric Pearson (“The Fantastic Four,” “Black Widow”), was coming on board. Whether or not Ali’s Blade finally makes it to the screen remains to be seen, but at least that film’s development did not impact Snipes returning to the character in “Deadpool & Wolverine.”
