Should another Blade movie ever get up and running, actor Wesley Snipes says he’d be interested in reprising the role.
“It would be nice to fulfill some of the really cool plans we had for Blade, but didn’t get the chance to go live with,” he tells IGN UK. “Under the right circumstances, with the right team, yes, I’d do another one.”
Snipes went on to say that he feels he’s been overlooked in the new trend of successful comic book films.
“Some people forget or overlook my/our contribution to this current trent,” he told IGN. “The ‘Gaming’ community knows and the streets give us credits, but the movie world frequently plays us like the ‘ugly step child’ or the ‘kitchen help,’ especially when the conversation revolves around the ‘boys in tights’ or ‘the bat’.”
Of course, before Snipes could take part in a Blade sequel, he’ll have to finish his prison sentence for tax evasion.
I would love another Blade movie, but ONLY if it is like the first movie.
No teammates, sidekicks, or side stories. Just techno and blood.
I love the Blade movies…only prob is that Snipes is getting a little long in the tooth…
tag line for the next film “This Christmas…its open season on suck heads!”
I’m excited and hopeful that there will be a new Blade. This is one kick-ass series and Snipes is awesome at any age. Whistler was at least 70 and put the young guys to shame.
What the he’ll is Snipes talking about? Blade is “disrespected”? Treated like “kitchen help”? Ignorant.
