Wesley Snipes says the “ball is in Marvel’s court” for Blade return

May 25, 2016 by Gary Collinson

Since his release from incarceration, Wesley Snipes has spoken on several occasions about the possibility of him returning for a fourth outing as Blade, even going as far as to say that he’s had “positive and very favorable” talks with Marvel Studios about reprising the role of the Daywalker.

Despite Snipes’ optimism, it would appear rather unlikely that Marvel would want to continue the New Line series if and when they introduce the character into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but that doesn’t seem to have deterred Snipes, who has taken to Twitter to once again tease the possibility of his return:

When it comes to another BLADE, there's always a possibility. 😁#SharpeningMyTeeth

Balls in Marvels court…

As yet, there’s been no official word on Marvel’s plans for the character since regaining the rights, although it was rumoured – from an unreliable source, it should be noted – that Blade is being considered as a Netflix show alongside Ghost Rider and Moon Knight.
