AceShowbiz - Wesley Snipes continues to fuel rumor of "Blade" being revived over at Marvel. The actor said talks with the studio were going well but nothing was set in stone yet.
"There's always a possibility, you know. It's in Marvel's hands. They're controlling the pace and the flow with that. Conversations have been good. They see the value in it. We see the value in it," Snipes told the Huffington Post. "I'm still in shape enough and fit enough to handle the role. We'll see how it goes. I don't really know what's going to happen to it yet."
When asked whether he would be interested in integrating Blade's character into the "Avengers" universe, Snipe said he was in for the idea. "That would be interesting. I mean, I know it's in the comic book. It would be interesting to see where they would place him and where he really would fit in," he said. "He's got to bite somebody. I don't know who he's going to bite."
Back in August this year, it was reported that Marvel was developing a new "Blade" movie centering on Fallon Grey aka the daughter of Eric Brooks/Blade. Snipes is expected to reprise his role as Blade if the movie really happens.
