Deadpool<\/a> <\/i>is coming in with a hard R to give us some much-deserved blood in the Marvel universe. However, it\u2019s not the first Marvel film to flaunt the R rating. Back in 1998, Blade<\/i>, starring Wesley Snipes<\/a>, was a very successful R-rated Marvel comic book movie. It was dark, bloody, action-packed, and stylish. If you look closely, it also seemed to have inspired some aspects of The Matrix<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Now that Snipes served his time, he\u2019s been talking about possibly going back to the Blade<\/em> franchise. The last time he was in the role was in the studio-chopped, horribly received Blade: Trinity<\/i>. Although, the film still had some solid moments, even though there were very few of them. One of the arguably good things about the third Blade<\/i> film was Ryan Reynolds, the star of Deadpool.<\/i> Another good thing about it was that the vampires didn\u2019t sparkle, and it wasn’t a poorly done love story (that’s one extra positive just for you).<\/p>\n

If Deadpool<\/em> serves to be a successful R-rated film, could that boost the possibility that there could be another Blade<\/em> movie? That\u2019s\u00a0 very likely, especially because a comic by Tim Seely and Logan Faeber that revolves around Blades\u2019 daughter, entitled Blade the Hunter<\/i>, is in the works. There\u2019s also a rumor that Marvel, who has picked up the character from New Line Cinemas, wants to incorporate the character into the MCU<\/a>\u00a0(Marvel Cinematic Universe). This is all hearsay right now, but that would be quite interesting.<\/p>\n

Snipes is very capable of slipping into the role again, despite his age, but let\u2019s hope that Hollywood doesn\u2019t seek out a younger actor as a replacement. Snipes\u2019 style just fits the role perfectly: a badass, no-nonsense day-walker with a hint of Shaft.<\/p>\n
