After the extremely disappointing Blade: Trinity, the franchise pretty much died out (something which wasn't helped by star Wesley Snipes spending some time behind bars). Marvel Studios regained the rights a few years back as a result, but Snipes - who is part of The Expendables 3 cast - told MTV News at this weekend's Comic-Con that he would like to jump back into the role given the chance. "I'd be open to it. I think we've got some stones left unturned and there's some latitude left for us to build on and I'd love to get back in the suit again and do some things I've learned how to do now that I didn't know how to do then. I think we're better at making that kind of a film now. Some of the things we did in the early parts of the franchise were experimental and now they've become customary in a lot of the Avengers films and other comic book adaptations." In a separate interview with EW, the actor added: "Blade chasing the Twilight kids around? Hey man, there's always a possibility, and I'm open to it. There have been rumours around that we may explore the opportunity, so give me one more shot!" How would you guys feel about Snipes making a return as Blade? Sound off with your thoughts below!

I guess he doesn't know that the rights have reverted back to marvel.

Wesley killed it as Blade, I honestly can't imagine anyone else in the role.

Blade 1 AND 2 WERE GREAT CBMs BEFORE RAIMI'S SPIDER-MAN

It could be good but I don't think it could be a part of the MCU.

I could see this being a Netflix series down the road along with the Punisher, Ghost Rider, and Moon Knight.

Blade II is the best CBM of all time!

I would kill to see Snipes back in the black leather, he was probably the best CBM casting ever, completely embodied the character. Gimme more!

all this love for blade 2 confuses me. its a great action film but as a whole its not the best one. anything in the movie other than the action seemed like filler and boring. the first movie is the best.

The unsung godfather of the CBM golden age wants another shot? Phuck yeah they should let this man back at it. I would love another Blade trilogy. I do believe that Snipes could do it again given the chance.

CBMs have changed very much since Blade. That movie would have a hard time finding an audience in today's CG movie market. And vampires have been repeatedly raped by Twilight, Vampire Diaries, True Blood and other crap.

In 2014 vampires are as uncool as piss flavored Pepsi.

Too much against Blade I think.

I would love to see Wesley Snipes play Blade again. After the third movie though, the franchise needs to be rebooted.

He could come back and star in the reboot.

Marvel Studios might give him a Stan Lee type of cameo, but they will cast younger blood (pun intended) for Blade.

Blade 1 was way better than 2 and I liked 2 a lot, but to me Blade 1 is a top 10 CBM. They should reboot, or maybe even add 4 into the MCU, why not? Blade is a Marvel property and I am sure they can make it work.
