Warning: Spoilers follow for Deadpool & Wolverine Forget what you think you know, vampires exist. Specifically, they and the great Wesley Snipes have a place in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Even as it’s been decades since the original badass vampire Blade has been on the big screen, with the years-long attempt at making a new movie starring Mahershala Ali getting caught up in development hell as it burns through director after director and undergoes multiple script rewrites , he’s now made an unexpected return in Deadpool & Wolverine .
Not only that, but he’s one of the best parts of the whole damn thing. Though much of Deadpool & Wolverine won’t help Marvel overcome the criticism that their more recent movies fall back on superficial cameos in place of solid storytelling and filmmaking, Snipes’ return as his classic character is one of the few times a familiar face popping up works. From the moment he emerges out of the shadows about midway through the film, when Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) and Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) are at their lowest points, Snipes sinks his teeth into every scene he gets and doesn’t let go.
Sure, we initially see him alongside Elektra (Jennifer Garner) and Gambit (Channing Tatum), though they’re mostly just there for the gags and goofs of it all. But Blade? Oh, he’s here to prove that he’s not messing around. Don’t you dare ice-skate uphill in front of him.
While it is great on its own to hear Snipes say this actually iconic line fro.
