Wesley Snipes on almost not doing Blade and his most famous lines

[@leeswain]

Wesley shines in New Jack City as Nino Brown, and Demolition Man as Simon Pheonix. Solid performances still holds up 30ish years later

[@Citizen_Shane21]

This dude was my hero growin up. Saw alll his movies. Blade 2 is my favorite.

[@Jorich196]

Agree blade 2 was the best of all

[@JohnSmith-gb8cd]

For me the first blade will always be my fav. It just had such a raw 90s feel and that opening scene is iconic

[@illmatiK4]

Yes..Blade 2 was 🔥 🔥 🔥! Nomec vs Blade is CLASSIC!

[@Jaem-ml4lx]

Yep great story line

[@davidca96]

First Blade to me is the best, 2nd is good though dont get me wrong. Trinity was just...and it wasnt due to Snipes "attitude" it was due to the story getting destroyed.

[@Quincy82AAC]

Wesley Snipes Blade films was the trailblazer for the new Marvel cinematic universe films we see today. Thank god for Wesley Snipes as he is one of my favourite actors.

[@poeticnation6251]

Thank you for saying it. Because A LOT of fans today, don't realize that the studios would not take the chances that they do today, with superhero movies, if it were not for the success of the Blade Trilogy.

[@Quincy82AAC]

Too right.

[@omniframe8612]

Also a trail blazer for the matrix, bullet time and fast paced martial arts choreography, black leather, etc the first Blade predates all that too

[@kajcsapapa]

Blade is better than all of them, but that's just my opinion

[@leaderofatrueschool3]

Blade and Spawn pushed the envelope and I loved it

[@Stilgar2]

Good risings, Daywalker.

[@micahmetzker3620]

😂😂😂

[@andrealexander7792]

Is it me or does Snipes have the perfect voice and intelligence level for radio talk

[@honza139706]

Blade 2 is still movie I can watch on repeat and not get boring! Such a gem!

[@johnmorgan6117]

There’s no way Blade could have been better. Absolute masterpiece

[@zedohh4450]

Well spoken gentleman Wesley Snipes...RESPECT!!

[@paulg3701]

I could listen to wesley snipes interviews all day. Straight up genius! just as mentioned in new jack city

[@halbleavy9900]

If it were not for Blade, you would have no Marvel movies.

[@KJ_1810]

Weirdly and sadly people forget this fact.

[@johanvanhuyssteen9217]

Wow. Never thought about that. 100% agree.

[@patricksterling927]

Straight up truth, nuff respect

[@rickmoffatt2024]

Have give you a ASE for that rhat one thing that's forgotten

[@yamatotakeru9078]

TRUE

[@RevanJJ]

So underrated. I want Blade 4 or a Netflix show WITH SNIPES because we already know what Blade without Snipes does...it lasts one season and gets cancelled.

[@NeverForget1776]

I assume you mean teh 2006 BLADE: The Series. That was made by SPppi9ke TV and clearly on a low budget which was part of its problem, not b/c it didn't feature Snipes. If a Netflix made BLADE live action series got the budget they gave Resident Evil and it was handled by quality showrunner/writers it wouldn't require Snipes to be successful. Snipes is also getting too old to pull of that role. Blade is a vampire who ages very slowly and Snipes is just too old to pull that off. I imagine he probably is interested into teh training he'd have to do to perform teh role. It has been 20 years since he played Blade.

[@yamatotakeru9078]

Me too

[@DreamvilleMatt]

Lucky you a Blade movie is coming out, unfortunately not with Wesley Snipes but Mahershela Ali is a great actor. I cant wait honestly

[@drevandamva]

Make sure you go see Deadpool and wolverine!🔥🔥🔥🔥😉

[@beejbeej1000]

I didn’t know their was a tv show at all

[@dallasdandigitalproduction393]

Fantastic interview. So glad to hear Wesley is in a good place mentally, emotionally and spiritually. He sounds very upbeat and positive here. Cant wait to see him in future projects. Cheers

[@420dopethrone]

Such a badass lol. I think he really is Blade in real life :P

[@catastrophucked]

I appreciate that Wesley is capable of understanding the value of quality over representation while still wanting to include it, and knowing which one takes priority.

[@luckys1227]

Wesley could easily be a horror movie narrator, or a horror story teller. He has such a unique talent and it’s no surprise that the actor who plays the role Blade has INSANELY HUGE boots to fill. Wesley one of the greatest actors of all time in my opinion. This man came from a cloth of actors who all had a unique flavour unlike today.

[@TheOriginalMoc]

Demolition Man was my introduction to Wesley Snipes

[@danielwilliamson6180]

Me too.

[@slingshotdon]

Hahaha he carried that film

[@charlesbrown477]

King of New york then New jack city

[@godzbody2432]

New jack for me

[@morse2x]

Simon Phoenix

[@joshuasandoval455]

man I remember seeing this at 6 years old....I was from a small town and it was my first time in Houston with my dad....we saw this movie is the biggest nicest theater I'd ever been in and it was a badass experience.....that last fight seen when he yelled for frost...... I still feel the goosebumps from that day....thank you Snipes!

[@collette6103]

Really good interview. Wesley Snipes such a cool person. LOVE his attitude and outlook on life.

[@Pingaheimer]

He's had some great classic roles. The Fan is such an underrated gem with Robert De Niro.

[@QwithTomPower]

Agreed! And don't forget another baseball gem: Willie Mays Hayes!

[@FrnkS376]

Andy P Sugar Hill was amazing as well.

[@Jucelegario]

I think Disney is waiting for Snipes either die or gets too old to look awfully bad, in order to reboot the franchise. It won't work with another actor. Yes, I know about the TV show.

[@Jucelegario]

Can't they just use him for Avengers 4?

[@aaronjaggan]

was good

[@QFilmz]

Wesley snipes is a BADASS , Blade is by far one of my fav movies ever !

[@marygreen1545]

Mr Snipes will always be Blade. Bring back W.Snipes as Blade!

[@Salik96]

Well guess we won't have him as Blade

[@upperubberlos996]

Wait till you see Deadpool and wolverine.

[@Mista-Md612]

Demolition man is still one of my fav movies!! My mom use to watch that movie religiously when I was a kid and I loved it too cuz it was like a futuristic movie for me ad I loved Simon phoenix! I loved his name! Lol

[@Eztodraw_123]

I love his positive outlook on life. Wesley continues to be a trailblazer in his work and for other actors / actresses.

[@AlphonsusSeketa]

His opinion about the irrelevance of praising an actor about the color of his skin is so on point. Whether black or white, the only thing that is relevant is their ability to do quality work that draws admiration and intrigue . Real humble man who does not bask in praise given to him as the first black superhero .👏👏👏

[@revolutionday1]

"SAY IT, BROTHER!!!" Man, I lost it!! :-D

[@IvanZavala-e2m]

Of all the people that could have played the part of blade wesley snipes is the right choice to play him he isca good skilled martial artist he is good at that he is so so smart that he knows exactly what role he wants to play but man he is in great shape

[@SleeperDarkside]

MAN WESLEY SNIPS I LOVE HIM IN BLADE I HOPE HE MAKES A 4TH BLADE

[@Ethan6000894]

Blade speaks for itself for how great it is, but his role in Brooklyn’s finest was so amazing

[@carlosmerced3524]

Wesley is a true OG.

[@jay6juice]

One of my favorite actors of all times! First movie I remember seeing him in was New Jack City.. I Remember Mo Better Blues, Jungle Fever. Demolition Man, murder at 1600, Wildcats, Major Leagues, the Fan. I can go on & on.. love movies he’s been a part of. Can’t forget Sugar Hill & Money Train. White Man can’t jump. US Marshall was dope.. & more. Give this man his flowers!

[@oliversvoice4383]

I had never listened to a Wesley Snipes interview until today, and not only does he come off as a really secure, and wise, gentleman… but it’s making me now want to go back to watch Blade along with the rest of his back catalogue.

[@taliaprice1909]

he is going to make a great comback

[@dahulkters1]

Talia Price he's one of the most underrated actors, not only action, but drama and comedy

[@adamdalla485]

Now that he is doing two movies with Eddie Murphy who is also making a comeback this is definitely very true. Wesley Snipes will shock the world with his come back 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾 Everyone who has ever made those jokes on him and his past mistakes will eat their words for real 🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@Hugh_Morris]

Apparently he owned all his scenes in Dolemite is My Name

[@Salik96]

@@adamdalla485 Nope lol

[@llindsey9783]

Miss him on the big screen....Hollywood needs to get it together and bring him back to the forefront!

[@theterranceharvey]

It was an absolute masterpiece!!! He IS BLADE!!! Nobody else can do Blade but Wesley Snipes!!!

[@HAMBURGER-s1l]

Dang! Wesleys voice is sooooo smooth. Great video...keep rockin.

[@BigJordan92708]

Wesley Snipes is an Underrated Actor, He’s played Some classic roles and killed all them. Blade, Blade 2, whiteman can’t jump, Newjack city, Demolition Man, The Fan, U.S Marshals,Money Train, Brooklyns Finest, he’s solidified!!

[@roachfatthenostalgist7535]

All those are amazing but my favorite movie of his is the Disappearing Act, that Waiting to Exhale are movies where he truly displays his acting chops by being vulnerable. A living legend. 👌🏾

[@BBoytoshone]

looking like morpheus with those glasses

[@Jordan-e3q]

Wesley seems like such a chill dude.

[@tatakainokaizen7140]

I have missed this voice!!! i didnt even realize there were some decent action movies coming out with him in it as well. Time to go on a little binge.

[@realtalk4689]

Disappearing Act was a touching film to watch with your girl.

[@MOEZANDERS]

Man, that recall movie was awesome. It was an excellent story for not being super mainstream. The categories were nice. Wesley's role was a nice good solid movie.

[@BlueAlien1313]

Wesley you are one of the greatness and most versatile actor on the planet. I own Blade 1 and 11 and watch them on a regular basis. You are such a warrior and an inspiration. We love you Snipes!

[@Itsmy2cent]

Blade started Marvel universe movies and is still the best. But marvel has suffered big time at box office for focusing on checking boxes and dei that story etc suffers majorly. Get a great story, stick with the lore, hire the best for the role, and fan service. Deadpool Wolverine is a great example. Pure fan service, good story, good cgi, and has a variety of races not because of race but best for the roles and for the story. Because of this it’s the highest grossing r rated movie ever

[@clpnetwork522]

Hands down one of the most prolific, gifts of talent of all times Mr. Wesley Snipes. Now although Stan Lee did an incredible job diversifying the Marvel realm, he wouldn't of been wrong had he not include different ethnicities. Just saying.

[@CahlajWasHere]

Is it me or does it feel like the interviewer was rushing the questions? It felt like it could of been slowed down a bit to make it feel more natural. Besides that I thought it was a lot of good information.

[@StephieGilley]

I thought the interviewer was rude. I would have liked to hear more of Wesley's deeper thoughts on things.

[@jen4567]

Read my mind!

[@ChiknThighTatorPie]

@@StephieGilley I

[@ChiknThighTatorPie]

This is one of those interviews where the interviewer would be most effective by allowing the guest to guide them where they want them to go and interject when it's convenient and not forcibly interrupt the flow.

[@vicrattlehead5051]

Yeah in the beginning of the video and at 11:00 he basically cut him off, or doesn't let the answer sink in before he immediately interjects the second snipes stops talking, it definitely makes it feel rushed

[@Senkuda]

I love how he says their company would employ those that are marginalised, but not just for the sake of inclusion.

[@aapjerz5376]

I would like to see Wesley snipes in atlease two more blade movies

[@Reflectivesource]

My favorite vamp movie ever❤❤❤❤Love him. his awesome as an actor

[@carlitot5388]

Wesley in my top 5 actors hands down 💯

[@aapjerz5376]

This dude is my second favorite actor/action hero

[@milesrebeiro1735]

Blade1 and 2 has always been my face movie man watched millions of times and it's sad 2019 they reboot it and Westly is not blade but I do hope he plays Whistler and its rated R

[@taliaprice1909]

I would love to work for Wesley Snipes. I'm an actor looking for a break in the industry .

Wesley Snipes is so awesome.

[@vraciunaitro]

Legendary actor in my book.He could've easily played a morpheus if they didnt want fishbourne in the new matrix that came out after the trilogy or in a predator sequel or alien.

[@Hustler030]

Blade 2 the best have to give it to nomakkk he s a beast in this movie

Blade 4? Please, cmon! Only Snipes can play Blade! Only him!

[@richadselemane5192]

Why does he keep interrupting Snipes?

[@briareosbarnes]

He's blade, the MCU would not have its formula if he did not say yes to blade!!! And you know it!

[@hey6982]

Wasnt he the producer of that movie and writer?

[@hey6982]

I mean director*

[@LoganWood121]

Snipes is at true OG. Im glad Reynolds gave the modern respect he deserves. The first Blade is still the best Marvel film. I said what I said.

[@donnyouttheway4091]

It’s crazy to look at this from 2024 and see how right Wesley was. He never fell off or even had to make a comeback. Taxes is a personal problem, not everybody’s else’s problem. It’s not like him going to jail for that made anybody’s life worse or better. The problem is that people judge him so much for that like he mur-- somebody makes the industry not put him in more films. Which is even crazier to think about. Based off of personal feelings from people, an industry with its own thought process, will decide to just throw you away.

[@joaonunoreis557]

He's my blade too. On another note, what brand are wesley's shades? They are really cool.

[@tania8257]

Such an underrated movie blade!!

[@LearningProducers]

Great message from wesley, if it doesn’t exist we can create it

[@hero.ambition]

There are worse things out tonight than vampires, like what? .. Like me! My fav line of all time. Glad he showed it to the man himself.

[@moujibarrahman]

The interviewer..you gotta work on your communication skills buddy, you got blade setting there trying to laugh and have a conversation with you dude, and you don't even react to his words..you gotta have some respect and manners 😏 wesley snipes will always be one of the best actors in hollywood..who didn't have enough time to make more great movies 😌

[@rolmarz9604]

I want this guy in blade 4. No one has the skills of fighting like this brother does.

he still make nice movie

[@terencethomas1873]

He gave Mahershala ali his Props for being cast as Blade

Blade and blade two…two of the best movies and I watch them a couple times per year. I try the third one here and there but i really don’t like how they pushed blade aside.
