Marvel recently announced that they were remaking Blade and that 2 time Academy Award winner Mahershala Ali was casted as Blade. Some thought past Blade actor Wesley Snipes should reprise the role and wondered how he’d feel about not getting to play Blade again.
Wesley Snipes released a statement on the matter and he couldn’t be happier for Mahershala.
“To all the DAYWALKERS losing their minds right now, chillaaxx. Although the news comes as a surprise, it’s ALL good. Such is the ‘business’ of ‘entertainment!’ Much peace to the MCU crew – always a fan.”
“Honor and respect to the grandmaster Stan. Congratulations and Salaam to Mahershala Ali, a beautiful and talented artist whose expressions I look forward to experiencing for many years to come. Inshallah, we will someday work together. Most importantly to my loyal fans, the incredible outpouring of love is overwhelming. I am grateful for the never-ending support. So, ‘nah fret nah worry, it’s not de end of de story.’ Welcome to the Daywalker
Good for Wesley to give his blessing over this new adaptation of Blade. I’m glad he recognizes the greatness of Mahershala Ali.
