Marvel’s Blade with Mahershala Ali is still in the works. And today, original star Wesley Snipes teases he’s up for a cameo – under the right circumstances.
Snipes tells ET: “You never know. Under the right circumstances, I’m open to play with everybody. I know that people associate me with that role. The Daywalker community out there is a part of the Daywalker clique and our global community identifies with a little bit of that world and the new definition of Daywalkers, these global hyphenated multitalented individuals capable doing more things at one time — skill masters, as we call them. So, we gon’ keep going, we gon’ keep bringing.”
He adds, regarding Ali’s casting as our new Daywalker: “I’m one thousand percent supportive of it. I think it’s great. Go for it, my man.”

Marvel’s Wesley Snipes-less reboot of the classic character for the MCU has no director is currently attached. But playwright and writer on HBO’s acclaimed limited series Watchmen, Stacy Osei-Kuffour will pen the script.
The first adaptation starred Snipes as Marvel’s iconic half-vampire, half-human vampire hunter. Searching for the vampire that killed his mother and turned him into a monster, Blade’s fight leads him to Deacon Frost (Stephen Dorff). Frost is a rising force in the vampire world, set on raising a God bent on destroying mankind.
