Deadpool & Wolverine Ending Explained

Deadpool & Wolverine’s ending is filled with multiversal stakes, insane cameos, and big teases for the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Could Wesley Snipes Actually Get A Blade Movie Under Marvel Studios?

With Snipes' Blade and his film franchise being one of the biggerreferences inDeadpool & Wolverine, it makes sense that this return has led to questions about potential future appearances from the character in the MCU. The bigger question, however, is whether this is something that is within the realm of possibility at Marvel Studios. As of right now,Marvel Studios hasn’t announced any plans to bring Snipes back as Blade.

Given that the MCU still hasthe MCU’sBlademovie rebootcoming up with Mahershala Ali, another Blade movie cropping up currently seems unlikely. However, given the many problems that they have been facing with theBladefilm, having Wesley Snipes return once more could help the overall Blade franchise, especially if Snipes' Blade also popped up in that movie. Given audiences have demonstrated a clear interest inBlade 4, it would also make sense to capitalize on that interest by making the film a reality.

WhileBlade 4may not happen in the long run, it is likely that fans will see Snipes back at least one more time before the end of The Multiverse Saga. The MCU has bothAvengers: DoomsdayandAvengers: Secret Warscoming up, which are prime opportunities to feature Snipes' Blade again alongside other iconic Marvel characters, both within and outside the MCU. But until that happens, the MCU audience can relive Snipes' portrayal of Blade inDeadpool & Wolverine.
