“Mahershala Ali sees Blade as his ‘Black Panther’”: Marvel is Still Struggling to Recreate What Wesley Snipes Did Decades Ago But Here is All We Know About Blade Reboot

Before The Avengers assembled on the big screen and Spider-Man weaved his cinematic web, a fearless half-vampire hero set the stage for future superhero blockbusters with a sword-sharp edge. So can you imagine a world without Marvel’s mightiest champions? It’s hard to believe, but the MCU as we know it may never have unfolded without the groundbreaking success of Blade. With Wesley Snipes masterfully embodying the vampire slayer in 1998, the movie not only thrilled audiences globally but also set the stage for an era of superhero dominance.
