There has been a lot of talk lately about Marvel possibly getting their act together and giving us anotherBlademovie. But even if this ever comes to fruition, there is sadly no way to guarantee that Wesley Snipes will be invited back to the role he made iconic on the big screen. And speaking of possibly having to replace Snipes as Blade one of these days, today we have word via the actor himself that none other thanJustice Leaguestar Ray Fischer wants to play the Daywalker should Marvel ever actually get around to rebooting the character.
I don’t know about you, but I thinkRay Fisheris a solid choice to play Blade. After all, I think it’s pretty safe to say that Fischer’s run as Cyborg in the DC Universe has reached its end. But who knows? Maybe that plannedCyborgstand-alone spin-off movie will see the light of day one of these days. Until we hear more on that though, I’d say Fischer should be included in the list of actors to take over the role fromWesley Snipes, no problem.
Ray Fisher is of course only one of the few actors whose names have been mentioned in association with possibly taking over the role of Blade should Marvel decide to recast Snipes. Other names that have been thrown into the pot lately have beenCaptain America: The Winter SoldierandAvengers: Endgamestar Anthony Mackie andStar Wars: The Force AwakensandStar Wars: The Last Jedistar John Boyega. Other actors that I’d personally like to see in the running includeGet OutandBlack Pantherstar Daniel Kaluuya,AquamanandBlack Mirror: Striking Vipersstar Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, andDeath NoteandSorry to Bother Youstar Lakeith Stanfield. Hell, Marvel could even go the slightly-aged Blade route and snag someone likeFast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & ShawandBeasts of No Nationstar Idris Elba. I’d be down for that!
For those keeping score at home, the last time we saw Blade on the big screen was back in 2004’sBlade: Trinity. That movie, of course, starred Wesley Snipes asEric Brooks/ Blade, and Ryan Reynolds joined him as Hannibal King along with Jessica Biel as Abigail Whistler, the daughter of Kris Kristofferson’s Abraham Whistler. Dominic Purcell gave them all a run for their money as Dracula / Drake, and Parker Posey joined him as Danica Talos, along with Callum Keith Rennie as Asher Talos, Triple H as Jarko Grimwood, Natasha Lyonne as Sommerfield, John Michael Higgins as Dr. Edgar Vance, Patton Oswalt as Hedges, and James Remar as FBI Agent Ray Cumberland.
David S. Goyerdirected the thirdBlademovie from a screenplay he penned himself based on the character created by Marv Wolfman and Gene Colan. Goyer also producedBlade: Trinityalong with Wesley Snipes, Lynn Harris, and Peter Frankfurt. The film featured music by Ramin Djawadi and RZA, cinematography by Gabriel Beristain, and editing by Conrad Smart and Howard E. Smith. New Line Cinema, Marvel Enterprises, Amen Ra Films, Imaginary Forces, and Shawn Danielle Productions Ltd. were the production companies behind the film which was released into a theater near you by New Line Cinema way back on June 04, 2025. The $65 million production only managed to snag $128.9 million worldwide at the box-office. This story comes to us viaSuper Bro Movies over on Twitter.
