Blade? Did they bring Wesley Snipes back? Haven't seen that guy since Expendables 2 and they did him dirty with the CGI Parkour.

No it's someone called Mahershala Ali. With the sunglasses on he does actually look quite a lot like a young Wesley Snipes.

the last I heard of Blade was that it was going to be a cut-rate production and that "the story at one point morphed into a narrative led by women and filled with life lessons, with Blade relegated to the fourth lead" but that was apparently dropped? I don't follow Disney/MCU like at all, but I came across this story and it stuck with me because it was kinda bizarre.

I heard that, too, but it's changed writers like 3-4 times so it's probably different now lol.

young Wesley Snipes

That’s incredibly generous. The guy’s already 50 years old. 15 years older than Snipes was in the original Blade!

I think I'm referring more to his face shape. Like Wesley Snipes' face shape changed as he got older. But I also didn't realise the new guy was 50, Hollywood is a crazy place.
