Ryan Reynolds’ Wesley Snipes Blade Movie Idea Would Be The Perfect Deadpool & Wolverine Spinoff

Warning! This article contains spoilers for Deadpool & Wolverine.

Summary Wesley Snipes' surprise appearance in Deadpool & Wolverine could lead to a final movie as Blade.

Ryan Reynolds suggested a Wolverine-inspired send-off movie for Snipes' Blade.

A gritty, R-rated Blade movie in the vein of Logan would honor Snipes' legacy and help the MCU's Blade reboot.

After Deadpool & Wolverine, there is renewed interest in Wesley Snipes' Blade, and that could lead to the perfect suggested new movie for the hero. Ryan Reynolds, director Shawn Levy, and the crew at the Marvel Cinematic Universe managed to feature some impressive surprise characters in Deadpool & Wolverine. Most of the movie's shocking returns came in the form of the Resistance, a team of heroes that banded together in the Void against Cassandra Nova. Wesley Snipes' Blade was shockingly among them.

Snipes had been away from the role for twenty years, and with Marvel struggling to get its Blade reboot with Mahershala Ali off the ground, it was surprising that Snipes appeared in Deadpool & Wolverine. There had also been rumors about how Snipes and Reynolds feuded on the set of 2004's Blade: Trinity, which made the affair all the more interesting. Snipes knocked it out of the park, with Blade's one-liners and action scenes helping Deadpool & Wolverine's ending and key moments sing. Based on the positive reception to his return, perhaps Snipes could get one last movie as Blade.

On Twitter, Ryan Reynolds suggested a great idea for a new Wesley Snipes Blade movie. Two weeks after Deadpool & Wolverine's release, the movie's cast and director started to make comments and share photos focused on the film's spoilers. Reynolds shared a few Deadpool & Wolverine set photos of himself with Snipes to praise the actor for helping pave the way for Marvel movies and the MCU with his Blade trilogy. Reynolds then asked fans to "retweet for a Logan-like send-off," suggesting Snipes' Blade should get a final movie in the vein of Hugh Jackman's Logan.

Logan is easily Wolverine's best solo movie and one of the most beloved and well-made comic book movies of all time. As such, the thought of getting a new Wesley Snipes Blade movie in a similar vein is very exciting. Snipes' Blade trilogy was R-rated, just like Logan, which means a grittier finale for the character would fit in with what came before. After Deadpool & Wolverine's Blade action scenes and snarky dialogue, an R-rated Logan-like Blade movie could follow Snipes' Daywalker on one last epic adventure.

Logan also worked because of Jackman's legacy as Wolverine. Snipes recently surpassed Jackman as the longest-running actor to play a Marvel character in live-action due to his return in Deadpool & Wolverine. That ensures that a Logan-like Blade movie would be charged with years of emotion, past stories, and reverence for that iteration of the hero. Finally, the MCU's Blade reboot has faced issues, with some fans asking for it to be scrapped in favor of Snipes' return. By getting a final Blade movie after Deadpool & Wolverine, Snipes could formally pass the baton to Mahershala Ali, helping the reboot.
