Hello, Marvel fans! Get ready for an exciting twist in the world of superheroes. Remember Wesley Snipes, the actor who played Blade? Guess what, he’s back! And he’s made a surprise appearance in Deadpool & Wolverine.
Setting the Stage for a Record Breaker
You might be asking – why is this a big deal? Well, with this comeback, Snipes sets a new record. And it’s not a small one! He now has the longest career as a live-action Marvel character. We’re talking about a career that spans over 25 years and 340 days! No one saw this one coming, not even the actor himself. As you can guess, fans are talking about it all over the globe.
The Wolverine vs Blade: The Standoff!
Now, Snipes’ record is great and all, but there’s a little hiccup. Not everyone is happy about it. After all, Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine is a fan favorite, and he’s starred in not one or two but ten Marvel movies! With only four films, Snipes’ new record has left a sour taste in the mouths of many hardcore fans. This brings us to a hotly debated question – what’s more important: the length of the career or the number of appearances?
The Big Gap: Another Record for Snipes
Here is something else to wrap your head around – Snipes has also set another record, one for the longest gap between appearances in Marvel films. It’s been 19 years since he last played Blade in Blade: Trinity. This fact has added fuel to the fans’ debate. Is the record legit with such a long break? The crowd is divided.
Fans Voice Their Thoughts: Is the Record Fair?
Everyone has an opinion and they are not shy to share it on Twitter. One user wrote, “Does it really count when he hasn’t been Blade since 2004?” That’s a good question. Another fan tweeted in disbelief, while a third suggested that Jackman could reclaim the record. The suspense is high.
Behind the Scene: The Surprise Call
So, how did this all happen? It all started with a call from Ryan Reynolds. Yes, that Ryan Reynolds. He had convinced Marvel to let Snipes reprise his role as Blade in Deadpool 3. Snipes didn’t see it coming. He had to prepare himself to become Blade once again after two decades. Despite Blade’s limited action scenes in the film, Snipes trained hard for two whole months for the role.
What’s Next in the Ever-Changing Marvel Universe?
This recent development raises a bunch of questions. Will we see Hugh Jackman come back as Wolverine and snatch the record? Perhaps another Marvel Legend might swoop in with a surprise? All we can say for sure is that Marvel always has more surprises in store.
Right now, you can see Deadpool & Wolverine in cinemas while renting the Blade films on AppleTV+. Wesley Snipes can celebrate his achievement as he currently holds the record for the longest career as a live-action Marvel character. Stay tuned for the next surprise!
