Actor Wesley Snipes has been dragging the Blade franchise producers, for recasting the character he originated, ever since it was announced that actor Mahershala Ali would be taking over the title role [click here and here if you missed that].
Now Snipes' Blade character is set to make a return in the upcoming "Deadpool & Wolverine..."
From Entertainment Weekly
After confirming his "Deadpool & Wolverine" character in a big, splashy Comic-Con panel, Snipes speaks with EW about his comeback.
"I did not think it was possible," Snipes recalls. "I didn't think we would be able to pull it off. I didn't think that Marvel was into it, Disney was into it — also because they had Mahershala cast for the next upcoming version of it." Oscar winner Mahershala Ali has been attached to star in a Blade reboot set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe for years, though the movie is still being developed. "I thought it didn't make sense to me, but [when] you get a call from Ryan Reynolds out of the blue after 20 years, you go, 'Okay, I got to take this call. Let's see what this is about,'" Snipes continues. "He told me the idea... They said 'yes' and 'it's a go.' 'If you're in, we're in.' Here we are."

I miss Wesley, but he crazy.
Maybe he will shut his trap now and do his co-star best.

Good. Now he can stop crying. You’re back in the club.
He wanna be a vampire so bad.
Love his work! Wesley is an incredibly talented actor.
Lets be real here. Wesley was an arrogant pos when he was in his prime. That is why Hollywood kicked his ass out an the IRS went after him. He was acting a complete FOOL! He was humbled and only then was he allowed to return. Stay humble, Wesley. They know that you're a bully and a woman beater!
