Wesley Snipes shows support to Marhershalla Ali for getting ‘Blade’ Role

Veteran Actor, Wesley Snipes, has shown his absolute support to Marhershalla Ali as he becomes the new face of ‘Blade: The Vampire Hunter’, an iconic role played by Wesley Snipes in the 1998 film.

But Snipes who played the role at a younger age by then, do not find anything wrong with it as he considers Marhershalla to be a good role for the movie.

“To all the DAYWALKERS losing their minds right now, chillaaxx,

“Although the news comes as a surprise, it’s all good. Such is the ‘business’ of ‘entertainment!’ Much peace to the MCU crew – always a fan.” Wesley Snipes said to the media.

However, Marvel officials are so excited about The Oscar Award winner – Marhershalla – playing that role.

“When Marhershalla calls, you answer.” A Marvel official said.

Snipes agreed and showed Marhershalla respect for being a part of the franchise.
