As the upcoming Blade movie is in production limbo, fans of the character still have something that they can sink their fangs into. In the recent movie Deadpool & Wolverine, fans got a fun surprise in seeing Wesley Snipes return to the role on the big screen. For those unaware, Snipes played in a trilogy of movies starring the titular Dhampir in the late 90’s and the 2000’s, a trilogy that helped open the door for the existence of the MCU.

“I did not think it was possible…I didn’t think we would be able to pull it off. I didn’t think that Marvel was into it, Disney was into it — also because they had Mahershala Ali cast for the next upcoming version of it.” Snipes said in a recent inverview. “I thought it didn’t make sense to me, but when you get a call from Ryan Reynolds out of the blue after 20 years, you go, ‘Okay, I got to take this call. Let’s see what this is about,’…He told me the idea… They said ‘yes’ and ‘it’s a go.’ ‘If you’re in, we’re in.’ Here we are.”

Deadpool & Wolverine is currently playing in theatres.
