It seems that the excitement surrounding Wesley Snipes’ potential return as Blade is currently unfounded. The poster shared by the Facebook page YODA BBY ABY, which features Snipes and claims he will star in a new Blade movie set for July 2025, has been debunked as a fake. Snopes confirmed that Marvel Studios has not announced a project featuring Snipes as Blade, and there is no official movie in the works with him in the lead role.
The upcoming Blade film, part of Marvel’s Phase Six, is set to star Mahershala Ali, who was announced as the new Blade back in 2019. The film’s production has faced several delays and creative challenges, including changes in directors and script revisions. Originally scheduled for November 2023, it has been pushed back to November 2025.
Wesley Snipes, who played Blade in the original trilogy, will not be part of this new installment. However, he did make a cameo as Blade in Deadpool & Wolverine, reflecting his ongoing connection with the franchise. The new Blade movie will focus on Ali’s portrayal of the character, with significant changes to the storyline and potentially a diverse cast of female leads.
Fans of Snipes’ Blade can look forward to seeing him in other projects, but for the latest developments on the new Blade film, it’s best to follow official Marvel announcements.
