Part 6/8:
Adding fuel to the fire, Wesley Snipes — the original Blade actor — publicly voiced his opinion on social media. Snipes, whose portrayal of the vampire hunter was iconic, suggested that Disney should cancel Mahershala Ali’s Blade and bring him back instead. His tweet humorously proclaimed, "cancel Mersa Ali's Blade movie and bring Wesley Snipes Daywalker into the MCU," asserting that “there has only ever been one Blade.”
Snipes's comments echo a sentiment shared by many fans who consider his portrayal an integral part of Blade’s legacy. Snipes has also publicly criticized the ongoing turmoil, remarking back in June about the difficulties facing the project and the lack of clear direction.
