Wesley Snipes Set to Return as Blade in the MCU "Sooner Than Expected"
Rumors are swirling that Wesley Snipes, the original actor behind the iconic vampire hunter Blade, is set to make a highly anticipated return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). While fans were initially thrilled by Mahershala Ali being cast as Blade in the upcoming Marvel reboot, the latest scoop suggests that Snipes might not be done with the role just yet. In fact, some reports are claiming that Snipes' return could happen "sooner than we think," much to the excitement of those who remember his legendary portrayal of the Daywalker.
Snipes first brought Blade to life in the late '90s, kickstarting a trilogy that cemented the character as one of the most memorable anti-heroes in comic book film history. His portrayal of Blade became a cornerstone of superhero cinema, blending martial arts action with supernatural intrigue. However, after Snipes’ time in the role, it was assumed that Mahershala Ali would take up the mantle in a fresh take on the character within the MCU, particularly after Blade was initially slated for a reboot.
In the latest development, sources are now revealing that Snipes could be returning to the MCU sooner than expected. This return isn’t entirely shocking, especially given the Multiverse storyline that has been explored in recent Marvel films and shows. Snipes reprised his role briefly in Deadpool and Wolverine , appearing alongside other Multiversal variants of characters, which has sparked even more rumors about his potential to appear in future MCU projects.

The logical assumption was that Snipes' return would be a one-off appearance for the Deadpool and Wolverine project, but the idea of him being brought back in something more significant is gaining traction. With the upcoming Avengers: Secret Wars expected to dive deep into Multiversal chaos, the return of the original Blade seems like a perfect fit for the overarching narrative. However, some whispers suggest that Snipes might even show up in something set between Doomsday and Secret Wars , further expanding the possibilities of his role in the MCU.
Marvel fans are divided on this potential return. While some are nostalgic for Snipes’ version of Blade, others are ready for a fresh interpretation with Ali at the helm. Regardless, the idea of seeing Snipes back in action as the original Daywalker has sparked excitement across the fanbase, with many eager to see how Marvel handles these Multiversal crossovers and whether Snipes will continue to have a place in future MCU plans.
As it stands, the official details remain scarce, but one thing is for sure: Blade's story is far from over, and the MCU might have some exciting surprises in store for fans who grew up with Wesley Snipes’ legendary take on the character.
