Once people started hearing rumors about a lot of cameos and guest stars, Deadpool and Wolverine, You can almost hear the engines revving as people discuss what should live on outside of this movie. Marvel doesn’t seem to have made any decisions about any of them, but that’s not stopping Ryan Reynolds from trying to get the ball rolling in favor of at least one major backer.
Recently, Reynolds took to Instagram to hype Wesley Snipes’ record-breaking return as Blade, calling his return “the strongest thing I’ve ever heard in a theater.” The screams of people with unbridled joy and love are also the sounds of a legacy. That’s a big and touching deal in itself, considering their rocky relationship during filming Trinity of Blades. But things escalated when Reynolds called for “more blades please.” one Logan-A particularly stylish send-off. (Let’s play fair and pretend for a moment that the send-off technically doesn’t matter anymore thanks to this multi-billion-dollar movie.)
Naturally, such a statement would raise eyebrows, especially considering the sarcasm in the film where Snipes says “there’s always only one blade.” Marvel has been trying to introduce a new version of the character in movies for five years, with Mahershala Ali being chosen to play the character and only getting one chance to play the character in a post-credits scene so far. Eternals. In the years since, progress has been made in this area blade The movie has passed…Not so good, The latest setback, charitably, was the departure of director Yann Demange in June. This so-called movie is basically a living joke and a sign of Marvel’s loss of steam after the Infinity Saga ended five years ago.
Put all of this together, and yes, the easiest thing to do might be to catch Snipes for an R-rated farewell. The audience will come to see it, I’m sure I Yes, especially if they have a battle scene set up as the “name of the game” for Crystal Method. Deadpool and Wolverine That’s enough proof that the idea can write and sell itself, and there’s no doubt that Marvel is looking to add another nostalgia win to its belt. At the same time, there’s a cynical undertone to the movie, with several jokes about its co-star essentially reprising his iconic role until his death, and now telling people that whenever studios start getting hit more than they do More clicks, this should be standard operating procedure. Over-focusing on one or more characters has always been a sore point for Fox and the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and doing it again with Blade doesn’t sound ideal at all.
as is the case Star Wars, Marvel is currently considering how to reposition itself after a few years of instability. other blade The Snipes-helmed movie can’t wipe away future Marvel Cinematic Universe baggage, let alone make Ali and the remaining cast and crew look like a bunch of fools. Don’t we all agree that Marvel would be wise to stop overcomplicating an action movie about a sword-wielding man fighting a vampire? Or if we’re still committed to this multiverse business, just have these two versions team up in a movie called Buddy Cop blade Kill two idiots with one stone?
