According to a new report from insider The Beyond Reporter on social media, Snipes will be back as Blade “one last time,” and will appear in either the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday, or Avengers: Secret Wars. While it’s exactly unclear what his role will be, given the multiversal nature of both films, it wouldn’t be too shocking to see Blade appear and lend a hand to some heroes.
Snipes played the role of Blade as the character in the 2000s series of films. He would go on to reprise the role in Deadpool & Wolverine, a film in which made a ton of jokes about the status of Blade in the MCU overall. While a solo film starring the character was announced in 2019, the film has recently been reported to be canceled, with the character instead potentially appearing in a Midnight Sons movie.
