Wesley Snipe's Blade Needs Movie Redemption (Like Garfield's Spider-Man)
Wesley Snipes' Blade needs some movie redemption, which can take inspiration from Andrew Garfield's acclaimed return in Spider-Man: No Way Home. The '90s was a strange time for comic book movies, where outside of the success of the Batman sequels or The Mask, many adaptations failed to hook audiences. Blade turned that around, with the 1998 action horror casting Wesley Snipes as the titular character. Blade's mix of Hong Kong-style action, slick visuals, world-building, and Snipes' star turn made it an unlikely hit.
