Update on Wesley Snipes' MCU Debut as Blade
Last week it was reported that Wesley Snipes will be reprising his role of Blade in an upcoming MCU project. Now, a new report has surfaced backing what we’ve previously reported. Possible spoilers ahead!
It was previously reported by scooper Daniel Richtman that Snipes will reprise his role as Blade in the Multiverse Saga, and has "already signed to do some stuff there."
It wasn’t revealed at the time what project he might appear in but we heard that he would appear in Deadpool & Wolverine. Now, that claim is being backed by scooper @MyTimeToShineH.
If Snipes is returning as Blade, showing up in Deadpool & Wolverine makes the most sense because that’s the movie that can throw in everyone and anyone from anywhere… maybe even DC. We’ll just have to wait and see!
One thing we do know is that there are some many actors and characters rumored to appear in Deadpool & Wolverine, and while some of them are false, a lot of them will end up being true.
In this new story, Deadpool is recruited by the TVA to save the Sacred Timeline and he recruits Wolverine to help him with the job. This is a journey that Wolverine initially doesn’t want any part of. But after a big mutant brawl, he signs up.
In the film, “After facing some professional setbacks while going through a midlife crisis. Wade Wilson decides to officially retire Deadpool and becomes a used car salesman.
“But when his friends, family, and the whole world are at stake, Deadpool decides to bring his katanas out of retirement. He recruits an unwilling and wary Wolverine to not only fight for their survival but ultimately, their legacy."
It’s also explained: "That f–king irresponsible hero Deadpool will change the history of the MCU with Wolverine!?"
Shawn Levy is directing the movie and the confirmed cast for the movie includes Emma Corrin as Cassandra Nova, Morena Baccarin and Stefan Kapicic as Vanessa and Colossus, Matthew Macfadyen as a TVA Agent, and Leslie Uggams as Blind Al.
They are joined by Brianna Hildebrand and Shioli Kutsuna, who will also return to the franchise as Negasonic Teenage Warhead and Negasonic Teenage Warhead’s girlfriend Yukio. It was previously confirmed that Jennifer Garner will return as Elektra in the movie.
Deadpool & Wolverine will hit theaters on July 26th!
