Wesley Snipes Returning for Blade 4?

Wesley Snipes BladeWhilst resting firmly in the unsubstantiated rumour column at the moment, the latest buzz suggests that Wesley Snipes, fresh out of prison (where he spent the past couple of years as a result of his tax-evasion), and now with The Expendables 3 under his belt, could be reprising one of his most iconic roles, and once again appearing as the infamous vampire killer Blade.

Snipes has previously expressed interest in returning to the franchise which began back in 1998, saw Wesley headlining three Blade movies, and even spawned a short-lived TV show, but given there’s been no official announcement as yet, how Snipes apparently became extremely difficult to work with on the set of Blade Trinity, and the fact he’s no longer the bankable action star he was back in 1998 (despite being one of the best things in The Expendables 3, and proving he’s still got the ability to be an action hero at 52), it’s far from a done deal.

Nevertheless The New York Daily News have reported a Blade 4 movie is “looking good”, that Wesley is all set to return as the legendary comic-book half-vampire vampire-killer superhero Blade, and that he’ll make a not unsubstantial $3 million from reprising one of his most famous roles, and giving us another taste of Blade.
