Snipes continued, joking about their alleged conflict, saying, “I was like, I hate this guy.”
But he was eager to convince everyone that he was joking.
Snipes said, “We’ve been playing this for like 20 years.” “We’ve actually liked each other the whole time.”
After Reynolds’ first text, the father of four continued to say that he hoped Snipes would return to Blade for Deadpool & Wolverine, but Snipes ‘did not believe it was doable’.
According to the 61-year-old, “I didn’t believe we could pull it off. Disney seems interested in it, in my opinion, especially because Mahershala [Ali] was cast for the next sequel.”
Oscar winner Ali will play the vampire hunter in Marvel’s relaunch of the beloved franchise, which was revealed during the 2019 San Diego Comic-Con. However, there have been many delays since then.
Actor Ali from Green Book provided an update back in December 2023, saying, “We’re working on it.” The best I could tell you was that.
