Marvel Cinematic Universe fans want Mahershala Ali’s Blade reboot to get cancelled as Wesley Snipes gives his reaction.
Following his cameo in Deadpool & Wolverine last month, Snipes shared a screenshot of an article with the headline, “Cancel Mahershala Ali’s Blade Movie And Bring Wesley Snipes’ Daywalker Into The MCU.” The 62-year-old actor commented on his Instagram post with, “Y’all, crazy! hahaha.”
This is coming nearly two months after filmmaker Yann Demange exited Blade, making it the second director to depart Ali’s MCU reboot. Despite not having any presence at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, Blade is still on the Disney schedule for November 7, 2025.

Blade (2025)
Marvel Studios’ Blade sees the return of the iconic vampire hunter more than two decades after Wesley Snipes first played the character in live-action. Starring Mahershala Ali as Eric Brooks, the Blade reboot officially introduces vampires to the Marvel Cinematic Universe after Eternals’ second post-credits scene teased the Daywalker’s MCU debut. Ali is accompanied by Delroy Lindo and Aaron Pierre in Yann Demange’s 2024 dark superhero movie.
