Stephen Dorff Wants To Return In BLADE Reboot
Original Blade star Stephen Dorff starred alongside new Daywalker Mahershala Ali in the third season of HBO’s True Detective. And today he says that he would love to join the upcoming reboot as Blade’s nemesis, Deacon Frost.
Dorff told ET: “I definitely would love to reinvent that character because that character’s someone who really stands [the test of time]. I still talk about [him] 20-something years later. I’m still signing Deacon Frost pictures out front today, so we’ll see where it goes.”
He then added: “I saw [Mahershala Ali] after it was announced and I’m happy for him. I think he’ll do a great job with Blade and reinventing the franchise. It probably should’ve been done a while ago, but I think it’s good for him. But I mean, I love the guy. I’m sure he’ll do it justice. To have such a great actor in the part of Blade for this new generation, it’ll be great.”
Finally, he reveals: “We talked about doing a Deacon Frost movie on its own at one point, me and the director of the original Blade, who is just a genius, Stephen Norrington, and it never really happened because Marvel was a new entity and Kevin Feige was kind of building this whole new universe he’s built successfully. They weren’t really interested in the dark Marvel movie but maybe after Joker and all this stuff, maybe it’ll start to be trendy.”
