It's been a very long time since he played Blade but Wesley Snipes is still keen to reprise the role of the vampire hunting badass. The character's live-action future is unclear but it was twenty years ago that the actor first suited up as the Daywalker and you have to believe Marvel would probably rather recast the hero regardless of whether that's in the Marvel Cinematic Universe or on the small screen.
"I am very much open to all of the possibilities," Snipes said in a recent interview. "If Blade 4 comes along, that is a conversation we can have." He's clearly confident about being given the chance to reprise the role but admitted that he wouldn't say no to playing another Marvel hero or villain.
"There are other characters in the Marvel universe that, if they want to invite me to play around with, I am with that too. I think the fans have a hunger for me to revision the Blade character, so that could limit where they could place me as another character in that universe." The Blade franchise wrapped up in underwhelming fashion in 2004 and an argument could be made that the vampire hunter would now be better suited to a series like Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. or even something on Netflix.
