Wesley Snipes addresses fans demanding for Marvel to ‘cancel Mahershala Ali Blade movie’
Deadpool & Wolverine star Wesley Snipes has addressed a recent fan opinion that he should continue to play Marvel’s Blade instead of actor Mahershala Ali.
Ali was announced to be playing the next Marvel Daywalker in 2019.
However, the Green Book actor has yet to debut on screen as the character, besides having an off-screen line during the stinger of the MCU movie Eternals.
In a social post made by Snipes following the reveal of his return as Blade in the 2024 box office smash hit Deadpool & Wolverine, the actor addressed fans demanding for Ali’s movie to be “cancelled”.
Snipes may have returned as the character, however, he admitted that he “did not think it was possible” or that “Marvel [or Disney] would be into it”.
“I didn’t think that [Ryan Reynolds] would be able to pull it off,” Snipes told Entertainment Weekly when talking about Deadpool & Wolverine after its SDCC 2024 premiere.
