Wesley Snipes Wants Blade To Bite Scarlett Johansson

The past couple of Comic-Cons saw Wesley Snipes make mention he would do another Blade film, with most recently the actor teasing talks with Marvel, and now Snipes offers more while talking with the Huff Post.

“There’s always a possibility,” Snipes said about another Blade movie. “It’s in Marvel’s hands, and they are controlling the pace and flow with that. Conversations have been good. They see the value in it. We see the value in it,. I’m still in shape enough and fit enough to handle the role. We’ll see where it goes. I don’t really know what’s going to happen to it yet.”

The interview continues with mention of Blade being featured in an Avengers movie, with Snipes noting Blade would have to bite someone and jokes it should be Black Widow.

“That would be interesting,” Snipes replied about Blade and the Avengers. “I mean, I know it’s in the comic book. It would be interesting to see where they would place him and where he really would fit in. He’s got to bite somebody. I don’t know who he’s going to bite… Scarlett Johansson [laughs].”

The most recent rumors surrounding Blade have suggested a new female Blade movie, and Snipes has even teased playing a different character that could go toe to toe with Blade.
