Spiderman/Blade team-up.

It was recently revealed that the sequel to Spider-Man: Homecoming would not feature Iron Man. It's been said there will be a different Marvel hero join Spider-Man in his next solo adventure. It wasn't revealed who that character would be, but there's someone that director Jon Watts would love to play with... and that someone is Blade!

During a recent interview with We Got This Covered, the director was asked what villain he would like to see in the sequel and in his response he said:

   “Morbius is kind of cool! The tone of the character is pretty dark, but the vampire/Marvel Universe thing is pretty cool. Maybe we could get Blade to show up, too? That’d be neat.”

I'm a fan of Morbius the Living Vampire and I've always wanted to see Spider-Man take him on in a film. The addition of Blade in that possible scenario makes his inclusion even more enticing! Spider-Man and Blade fighting alongside each other to take down Morbius would be so damn cool!

Just in case you don't read the comics, Blade actually obtained his unique vampire powers while hunting down Morbius with Spider-Man. Morbius attacked them and ended up biting Blade in the process. This gave the vampire hunter the speed and strength of a vampire but the sun doesn't bother him.

I know it's a longshot, but I would love to see this eventually happen! It's certainly a possibility that Watts and Marvel should seriously look at because I think fans would flip over a Spider-Man and Blade movie team-up! What do you think?

I would love to see this. This was featured in the 90's cartoon. Snipes anyone??? Perhaps a younger actor to play the part?

If this does happen, definitely think someone other than Snipes should play the part.

Snipes could still pull of Blade but the smart choice would be to go younger especially if they hope to take it farther than a single film.

I would love to see that happen! Snipes is only 55 and I bet he can pull this better than any young sappy actor! lol

They tried a "different" Blade (Sticky Fingaz) in the 2006 TV series, it was a dismal failure, betting most don't even remember it...

I'm afraid that without Snipes there simply is no Blade.

I actually have this series and wasn't very impressed with it if I remember correctly. They also came up with Blade: House of Chthon which I also have, but haven't seen it (or don't remember it).

I agree 110% with you that without Snipes, there is no Blade!!

Oh really? Because I have both on my shelf and they don't have the same amount of discs. IMDb seems to agree with you, but Amazon agrees with me, LOL

I must agree entirely. Snipes IS blade. He MADE that character. Similarly, Robert Downey Jr. IS Iron Man. Some characters simply cannot be portrayed by anyone else but the one who defined them first on the big screen. Of course, time passes & people do, too, so it becomes a reality that faces must change, but it should only happen when there is no other option.
