Wesley Snipes on Returning as Blade for Deadpool & Wolverine
Ryan Reynolds is calling for more Blade on the big screen following Wesley Snipes' long-awaited return as the Marvel superhero in "Deadpool & Wolverine." Reynolds shared behind-the-scenes photos he took with Snipes on the set of the film on Instagram. Snipes made his debut as Blade in the 1998 film of the same name and reprised the character in 2002's "Blade II" and 2004's "Blade: Trinity," which also starred Reynolds.
"The reaction when Wesley Snipes enters the movie is the most intense thing I've ever heard in a theater," Reynolds wrote in the caption of the post. "People screaming with unbridled joy and love is also the sound of a legacy. More Blade, please."
Snipes' Blade was among several heroes from Fox's Marvel film era who returned in "Deadpool & Wolverine." Jennifer Garner's Elektra and Chris Evans' Johnny Storm also made appearances, much to the delight of comic book movie fans. Snipes told Entertainment Weekly what it was like seeing Blade again in "Deadpool & Wolverine" after 20 years following the film's record-breaking opening weekend.
