Wesley Snipes To Reprise His Role As BLADE?

Source: IGN Movies

As many of you might know, actor Wesley Snipes is behind bars for crimes that we will not mention here BUT that didn't stop the actor from talking about which iconic film role he'd like to return to once he is released. Snipes spoke with IGN Movies and expressed interest in reprising the role of BLADE. He also spoke about the importance of the character and the movies in general. You can read a few excerpts from that interview below:

"It would be nice to fulfil some of the really cool plans we had for Blade, but didn't get the chance to go live with."

"Some people forget or overlook my/our contribution to this current trend. The 'Gaming' community knows and the streets give us credits, but the movie world frequently plays us like the 'ugly step child' or the 'kitchen help', especially when the conversation revolves around the 'boys in tights' or 'the bat'.

"Getting asked this question all the time, my response is: 'Under the right circumstances, with the right team, yes, I'd do another one.' But don't get me wrong, I'm not waiting around for the opportunity. I've got plenty to do, plus an unravelled character in the works who I think will give Blade a helluva run for his money."

Hmmm, an "unravelled character" that will "give Blade a helluva run for his money." Interesting to say the least. The Blade franchise to date has racked in $415M at the worldwide office so Snipes definitely knows a good thing when he sees it. But whether or not he gets that chance to portray the character of Blade yet again is something that only time will tell.
