Ryan Reynolds released a look at Wesley Snipes in Deadpool & Wolverine and asks fans for help to get Marvel’s vampire hunter one last movie.
Not only did Snipes return in Deadpool & Wolverine, but the pair starred in 2004’s Blade: Trinity.
Reynolds tweets four images and wants another Blade movie starring Wesley Snipes to give the actor and character a proper sendoff, similar to the Logan movie.
“There is no Fox Marvel Universe or MCU without Blade first creating a market. He’s Marvel Daddy. Please retweet for a Logan-like send off,” Reynolds tweeted.

Wesley Snipes also recently said he wants more Marvel movies.
“It’s going fantastic,” Snipes told EW at Comic-Con. “I just got a chance to see the movie, and woo wee!”
Snipes continued, “It all started with a text from Ryan Reynolds. I saw a text and it says, ‘I want to talk to you.’ I was like, ‘I hate this guy.’ No. It’s a joke. We’ve been playing like this for two decades. We’ve actually liked each other the whole time [laughs].”
“He called and told me ‘I have an idea,’ and he told me what the idea was,” Snipes explained. “I was like, ‘I don’t know how the hell you are going to pull that off?’ It was very unlikely. I said, ‘If you can make it happen, sure, I’ll come and do it.’ He was like, ‘Really?’ I was like, ‘Yeah, why not? Let’s see what happens.’
“I did not think it was possible. I didn’t think he would be able to pull it off,” said Snipes. “I didn’t think that Marvel was into it or Disney was into it. Also because they had Mahershala Ali cast for the upcoming version of it. It didn’t make sense to me.
“But when you get a call from Ryan Reynolds out of the blue after 20 years, you go, ‘Okay, I have to take this call to see what this is about.’ He told me the idea, said yes they said yes, and it’s a go. If you’re in, we’re in, and here we are,” said Snipes.
Snipes also commented on keeping the cameo a secret, and he said he would like to do more with Marvel.
“Ohhhh, it was very, very challenging. I couldn’t reveal I was travelling for this to my family. So it was quite an experiment, you know,” he said. “The family didn’t know, and I want to say thank you to everybody that supported me throughout the years. It’s quite amazing to see how people responded to the work.”
He added, “It makes you want to do more Marvel films.”

Blade is my favorite comic book movie and one of my fav characters, so it was a dream to get to do some concepts for him, especially when knowing that the great @wesleysnipes was returning to his iconic role
