FAN CAST: Blade by JoshW

Here are my choices for who I'd like to see in either a sequel or reboot of Blade! Included in the cast are my picks for Quincy Harker's Vampire-Hunters, The Nightstalkers and some of the character's greatest enemies like Dracula and Morbius!

THREE ACTORS WHO COULD PLAY BLADE

Eric Brooks was born a vampire possessing all their strengths but none of their weaknesses. He has dedicated his life to destroying the occult world of vampires.

Wesley Snipes

Yes, I know he’s getting on a bit now but he made such an excellent Blade (even in the crappy third movie!) I’d be more than happy to see him return! I really don’t think he looks his age and he has recently said he’s still interested in the character so bring him back!

Erik King

At just under six foot, King is perhaps a little short for Blade. However, he has the right look, build and personality while his performance in Dexter was very similar to Blade and I really think he’d give an excellent performance as the character!

Michael Jai White

I’m not a fan of the thought of him playing Luke Cage because I think he’s much better suited in both looks and personality to play Blade. Plus, with his acting background I don’t think that he’d have any problems with the action side of things!

ALLIES

Bill Cobbs as Jamal Afari

Although Jamal Afari is a vampire, he actually went on to become a Vampire-Hunter. He trained the young Blade in combat.

Quincy Harker's Vampire-Hunters

In Paris, Blade first encountered the vampire hunters Quincy Harker, Rachel van Helsing, Taj Nital, and Frank Drake. Because of his mercurial temperament, Blade had a strained but steady relationship with the group, allying himself with them on several occasions.

Sean Connery as Quincy Harker

Quincy was trained as a vampire hunter by Van Helsing, and became his successor. Quincy quickly became Dracula's nemesis.

Ali Larter as Rachel Van Helsing

The great-granddaughter to the legendary vampire hunter Abraham Van Helsing. She was trained to be a vampire hunter by Quincy Harker after her parents were killed by Dracula.

Kiefer Sutherland as Frank Drake

Frank Drake is a direct descendant of Count Dracula. He joined Quincy Harker's band of vampire hunters under the close tutelage of Rachel van Helsing and Harker.

Anil Kapoor as Taj Nital

Taj Nital is a vampire of the Marvel Universe, and has worked both alongside and against the likes of Blade, Abby, King, and Drake.

The Nightstalkers

The team was composed of the vampire-hunters Blade, Frank Drake and, private detective Hannibal King. They were gathered by Doctor Strange in Nightstalkers #1 to battle an immediate threat, but under his larger, hidden agenda.

Johnny Depp as Doctor Strange

Image and video hosting by TinyPic


Dr Strange, once a gifted but egotistic surgeon sought the Ancient One to heal his wounded hands. Instead he became Master of the Mystic Arts and the Sorcerer Supreme.

Thomas Jane as Hannibal King

Image and video hosting by TinyPic


Hannibal King was an ordinary Private investigator until Deacon Frost killed him and turned him into a vampire.

ENEMIES

Ron Glass as Deacon Frost

Image and video hosting by TinyPic


Deacon Frost is the man responsible for Blade's vampirism. He is a one of a kind vampire with the ability to control his victims.

Joseph Fiennes as Dracula

Image and video hosting by TinyPic


Dracula is the most powerful vampire in the Marvel Universe. Though not the first of his kind, he is considered lord of all Earth's vampires.

Benicio Del Toro as Morbius

Image and video hosting by TinyPic


Morbius was born with a rare blood disorder. In an attempt to treat himself he was transformed into a living vampire. He has been both a force of good and evil in his time.

Nive cast.... Snipes all the way if not I'll take Micheal J. White he's better suited than King.

Great cast, I'd personally like to see Snipes back for a fourth outing....Michael Jai white if not.

Only choice!!!



Hell NO to Michael (i cant act) White!

Thought you didn't like SNIPES??

: P

Don't like JANE as KING at all, plus he's the perfect PUNISHER!!

Whys DR STRANGE in a BLADE movie?

But HELL YEAH, DEPP!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good man!

DRACULA should stay away from the BLADE franchise!

Like the rest though dude, and its official everyone at cbm.com wants DEL TORO for MORIBUS!! ; D

Cool!

Nice cast Josh...Hopefully Snipes returns. I liked Reynolds as Hannibal and would like to see him reprise that role.

I prefer a reboot.So no to all Blade choices.
Bill Cobbs, Ali Larter, Kiefer Sutherland Joseph, Fiennes and Anil Kapoor are great choices.
Thomas Jane is an ok choice.
I don't know why.I just can't see Depp as Strange.
I don't like Ron Glass as Deacon Frost and Sean Connery as Quincy Harker.
Toro is awesome choice for Morbius.
Great cast.

SHHH/blade40/Ryden: Thanks guys! :) I agree with the three of you that it would be great to see Snipes come back!

LEE: Cheers man! Cool picture dude, I'd like to see Snipes come back to the franchise as well! Not sure why you think I dont like him though, lol! As you know, I prefer Stevenson's Punisher so I think that Jane would be well suited to King! I've never been a huge fan of Blade's comic books but it was apparently Doctor Strange who formed the Nighstalkers! If Marvel were to make the next Blade film after making a Doc Strange movie then just think how awesome it would be if it featured a cameo of the character! :P If Dracula (not Drake!!!) was done properly then I think it would be awesome...it might be better to stick with a different villain like Morbius next time though!

spideysweb: Thanks bud and good to see you again! I wouldnt mind seeing Reynolds return either but Green Lantern, Deadpool AND Hannibal King all at the same time might be a little too much, lol!

THEHAWK: I have no idea what the hell that video is you keep posting but glad you like the cast man, thanks! I'll be sure to check out your fan fic ASAP!

superheromoviefan: Thanks - if it were a reboot then I dont see the problem with casting King or White! Glad you like the majority of my picks though! However, I really think that Glass is perfect for Frost!

Superman4: Hey, glad you like that choice dude! I was racking my brain for who would be a god fit for that role (thinking of the same old actors like Morgan Freeman) and then Glass popped into my head! I think he'd do a great job with a character like Deacon Frost!

TYLER: Thanks bud! :) I'm completely divided over Depp and Neeson so I think I'll just use one or the other on every other cast, lol! Next time I cast Strange, it'll be Neeson! ;) Great news about The Hurt Locker eh?

JOSH- ANOTHER CAST ALREADY!! WTF!?!?! LOL!
great job man! SNIPES IS THE BEST BLADE!

Del Toro would be the perfect MORBIUS!

This cast is [frick]ing perfect, the only thing I can say is, Erik King for Blade (If Snipes don't come back, obviously). Jai White would be a bette Bishop.
DogsOfWar
DogsOfWar - 3/8/2010, 3:12 PM
Good stuff Josh

Snipes IS Blade but I wouldn't mind King to go a little younger and keep the series going. It should be like the Bond films, just move on to the next actor.

Definitely staying true to the comic books, I like it!
JoshWilding
JoshWilding - 3/8/2010, 3:53 PM
PETE: Lol, thanks bud! I guess I'm on a bit of a role right now! Might be a couple of days until the next one though as part two of my big Cable cast will take a while! Glad you like my Blade choices and Toro is definitely perfect for Morbius! I'll head over to your fansite now!

OZY: Thanks, I never really got into the Blade comic books - loved the (first two) movies though!

ThlesNJ: Cheers dude, much appreciated! I'm really glad you're on board with King as Blade! If we cant have Snipes back, he's the perfect replacement to do the character justice!

DOGS: Thanks mate! :) I never actually thought about it that way but handling the next few Blade movies in a similar way to the Bond flicks is a great idea! King would be my #1 choice for Snipes' predecessor! I always try to stick as close to the characters comic book origins even though it can be hard as hell to find the pictures and info! I'm really pleased you picked up on that!
DDD
DDD - 3/8/2010, 7:28 PM
Ron Glass as Deacon Frost is brilliant!
He is such a class actor!

King would be my choice if Snipes stopped
doing Blade! Snipes is the baddest! He
could literally kick both of our asses
and never leave his chair, Josh@! lol

Del Toro IS Morbius, just slap some white
on his face and off he goes!!!

Great cast Josh@!

DDD: Cheers mate! Yeah, I've only started watching Firefly recently and finished it last night! I cant believe it got cancelled but I'm looking forward to watching the movie later - Glass was especially great in the show! I can also now see why you want Glau as X-23! Perfect for the role! Snipes could kick my ass no problem but I think he might have met his match in you, lol! ;)

CRITIC: Thanks bud and no worries - I'd been wondering where you'd gotten to! :) Glad you like both this and my 50th!

Wesley Snipes in my opinion was Blade, and is Blade still, but if you have to reboot the Blade series, and there is going to be a new actor playing Blade, then the only person who I can see playing Blade is Michael Jai White, because Jai White is a skilled martial artist like how Blade should be, as well Jai White as the right build and look for Blade. As well Jai White would kick ass as Blade, making the franchise his own

if not wesley snipes most definetly michael jai white and he can so act and can play out action scene's brilliantly and someone said he'll be better bishop!! noway he'll be perfect for blade, bishop i want ving rhames to be bishop, king doesn't have that like or fighting charisma that white and snipes has i don't think he'd be on my blade's list, del toro as morbius is a good one and ali larter as rachal van helsing and bill cobbs as jamal
