In a recent interview with Deadline about his upcoming TV series The Player, Wesley Snipes opened up about his future with Marvel Studios. Interestingly enough, it was about the possibility of him returning as Blade:
“[Blade 4] 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,” Snipes said when asked about returning to the role. That meeting centered on returning as Blade, but may have offered up other opportunities as well.”
Marvel got the rights back for Blade a while ago and it’s been rumored that the character could appear in Phase II of the studio’s Netflix shows.
They could introduce him in the Cinematic Universe as well – but that seems less likely as Marvel Studios have yet to make an R-rated film under Disney.
