Maybe Wesley Snipes was right when he said, Theres only been one Blade, and there will only ever be one Blade. While Mahershala Alis Blade remains in limbo, Ryan Reynolds wants to see more of Snipes as Eric Brooks.

Snipes Blade made his triumphant return in Deadpool Wolverine. Blade teamed with Laura (Dafne Keen), Elektra (Jennifer Garner), and Gambit (Channing Tatum) to help Deadpool (Reynolds) and Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) escape the Void. For his work on the film, Reynolds showered Snipes with gratitude and appreciation in a recent Instagram post.

The reaction when @realwesleysnipes enters the movie is the most intense thing Ive heard in a theater, Reynolds wrote. People screaming with uninhibited joy and love is also the sound of a legacy. More Blade please.

Reynolds wishes for Snipes Blade to receive a proper goodbye like Jackman experienced in 2017s Logan.

Snipes thought he hung up his swords for good until Reynolds texted him, I want to talk to you.

I thought it didnt make sense to me, but [when] you get a call from Ryan Reynolds out of the blue after 20 years, you go, OK, I got to take this call. Lets see what this is about,' Snipes told EW. He told me the idea They said yes and its a go. If youre in, were in. Here we are.

There are no plans in development for Snipes to play Blade in a fourth solo film. Meanwhile, Alis Bladeremains dated for November 7, 2025.
