Speaking to the news portal, the filmmaker said, "Wesley has not played Blade in a long time. He and Ryan have not been in close touch in a very long time.” He continued, "But we made clear to Wesley that this was not going for a joke. This was out of reverence for his legacy as this iconic character."
Wesley Snipes will reprise his role on the big screens in 2025, as Marve has scheduled a Blade reboot, which will hit theaters on November 7, next year. The plot details and casting have been kept under wraps.
