Wesley Snipes Talks Blade 4

Probably the only comic book movie series this site would pay any attention to at this point would be the Blade series.  Unless of course the one true Batman were called back into service.

VICE has interviewed Wesley Snipes as part of a profile on it being 20 years since he first played the character of Blade, and they couldn’t help but ask about a possible future. Their question was specifically in regards to Blade 4, and while Snipes didn’t get specific on what is being discussed, multiple projects are in the works according to him. He specifically mentions Marvel needing to square things away on their end before Blade makes his return.

There are a lot of conversations going around right now and we’re very blessed to have the enthusiasm and interest in something coming from that world again. We’ve created two projects that fit perfectly into this world and, when people see them, I think they’re only going to have a problem with deciding which one they love the most.

All the main execs [at Marvel] and my team, we’ve been discussing for the past two years. Everyone’s enthusiastic about it, everybody gets it. But they got a business to run and they gotta square the things that they gotta figure out before they can get to it, I guess. In the meantime, we got a business to run and our own slate of things to do so…

But the next time you see something in [the Blade universe], mark my words: what we did before is child’s play compared to what we can do now.

Back when this comic stuff was cool, original and edgy, the first DVD I ever bought was Blade, played on a PS2.
