Remember at SDCC back in July when Wesley Snipes said he’d been in talks with Marvel about a Blade renewal? Well there’s a new rumor out that adds a bit of fuel to that fire.
Marvel Comics has a comic in the works that will focus on Blade. But, not the Blade you know and love that was portrayed by Wesley Snipes in the mid-90’s — this daywalking vamp-killer is his daughter, Fallon Grey.
According to Bleeding Cool, who heard from a “well-connected source” the brilliant minds at Marvel, “higher up on the food chain,” have requested this comic because they want to revitalize the Blade campaign. As the site reports, “the character and the comic are suddenly considered important… because the plan is that this new Blade will be the one that features in the next Blade movie.”
This is, as it stands, mostly unsubstantiated rumor and should be taken with a total grain of salt. However, it makes total sense and would be a great way to revamp the entire franchise with a really cool new character.
