There is no stopping Wesley Snipes - he wants "Blade 4." The actor is really interested and even claims to be fit for the role.
In an interview with the Huffington Post, Snipes expressed his interest to make a "Blade 4." He said that "there's always a possibility." Nonetheless, the 53-year-old actor admitted that "it's in Marvel hands." It holds true that the studio is indeed in charge in terms of "controlling the pace and flow."
Snipes added that there were conversations already and that Marvel sees the value in it. He also claimed to be in shape and fit enough for the role. When asked how things were, he said: "We'll see how it goes. I don't really know what's going to happen to it yet."
Meanwhile, Comic Book Resources reported that Snipes is interested in seeing his character become part of the Avengers. Knowing what his role would be in the said superhero team is something that is beyond remarkable.
According to The Mary Sue, another interesting thing is the recent "Blade" reboot. The film will feature the vampire's daughter Fallon Grey. Hence, it is another possibility that people will get to see a movie that features her instead. Although this could still be a debatable direction for the franchise to consider, it remains a part of the rumor mill until Marvel Studios confirms.
Snipes previously starred as the main character in the three "Blade" movies, the first of which helped shepherd comic books and superheroes to the big screen. Combined, the three films brought in over $400 million at the global box office.
Since being completed as a trilogy in 2004, the "Blade" franchise included creative contributions from both comic adaptation heavyweights - namely, David S. Goyer and Guillermo del Toro. Moreover, the character has appeared in a one-season TV run in 2006.
If Wesley Snipes himself wants "Blade 4," how much more are the fans? Do you think he will come back as the legendary vampire slayer? Let us hear your comments below.
