Wesley Snipes To Reprise Blade Role In Fourth Film

Actor Wesley Snipes is reportedly set to reprise his role as vampire hunter Blade in a fourth instalment of the franchise.

The Expendables 3 star will net a $3 million (Gbp1.8 million) paycheque for his return to the film series.

Snipes recently spoke about his desire to return to the franchise, telling Mtv.com, “I’d be open to it. I think we’ve got some stones left unturned and there’s some latitude left for us to build on and I’d love to get back in the suit again and do some things I’ve learned how to do now that I didn’t know how to do then.”

The 52 year old previously played the character in 1998’s Blade, 2002’s Blade Ii and 2004’s Blade: Trinity.

On martial arts the star said: I appreciate mixed martial arts, Tony. I’ve been training for a long time. I started training in the Japanese system, when I was 12, in Goju and Shotokan. From there, I was exposed to Grandmaster Moses Powell, which is the Aiki-Jujutsu form. And after that, I got into capoeira, and I got ranking in three different systems: Indonesian, African and Japanese. And I’ve done Tae Kwon [Do]. So, I’ve done pretty well.
