This is exciting news, actor Wesley Snipes and Marvel Comics are in talks about doing another Blade movie. Snipes portrayed Blade, the daywalker/vampire hunter in all 3 of the previous movies and was very successful with it. Snipes was San Diego's Comic Con and when asked, he stated, “Our conversations with Marvel have pretty good, they’ve been productive,” Snipes told Yahoo while discussing his new TV show, The Player, at San Diego Comic-Con on Thursday. “We talked about Blade,
we talked about a couple of other things. They have their model and
their agenda, and we have ours, so we’ll see if everything lines up.”
Blade topped the box office
when it hit theaters in August of 1998, and went on to earn $131 million
worldwide. Two sequels were made, with the series ending on a
relatively sour note with the poorly received Blade: Trilogy in 2004; Snipes, a producer on the film, sued the film’s director, David S. Goyer, and its distributor, New Line, over his role in the movie.
Marvel, however, reacquired the rights to the franchise several years
ago, and there’s been speculation that the character could show up
either in the Netflix shows, headlined by Daredevil, or play a role in the future of the company’s sprawling film franchises.
It's a good thing, Blade didn't die at the end of the 3rd film. LOL Otherwise they would have to come up with some bullshit reason as to how to bring him back. Like they do with his sidekick portrayed by Kris Kristofferson. Who has died in every movie but always returns in the next one. hahahaha
