We have some more Deadpool and Wolverine concept art for you to take a look at, this time spotlighting final and early designs for Blade (Wesley Snipes).

John Staub has shared some artwork that's very close to the character's live-action look, while Rodney Fuentebella's art features an alternate design for The Daywalker.

"I wanted to go for a more worn Blade that has seen and done a lot of things to survive," the artist writes.

Will we see Snipes as Blade in the MCU again? Marhershala Ali is set to play the vampiric hero in the upcoming reboot, but Ryan Reynolds has been campaigning for this original take on the character to get a "Logan-like send-off" and given how well his appearance in the movie went over with fans, we'd say at least one more movie might be on the cards.

Deadpool and Wolverine officially passed the $1 billion global box office milestone earlier today, and is on its way to becoming the highest-grossing R-rated movie in history.

Have you been to see Deadpool and Wolverine yet? If so, what did you think? Check out our review here, and drop us a comment down below.

The MPAA gave the movie an official R-rating for: "Strong bloody violence and language throughout, gore, and sexual references."

“Marvel Studios presents their most significant mistake to date - Deadpool & Wolverine," reads the new synopsis. "A listless Wade Wilson toils away in civilian life. His days as the morally flexible mercenary, Deadpool, behind him. When his homeworld faces an existential threat, Wade must reluctantly suit-up again with an even more reluctantlier... reluctanter? Reluctantest? He must convince a reluctant Wolverine to - F*ck. Synopses are so f*cking stupid.”

In addition to Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman in the title roles, Deadpool and Wolverine will see Morena Baccarin (Vanessa), Leslie Uggams (Blind Al), Rob Delaney (Peter), Brianna Hildebrand (Negasonic Teenage Warhead) And Shioli Kutsuna (Yukio) return as their respective characters, and they'll be joined by franchise newcomers Emma Corrin (The Crown) and Matthew Macfadyen (Succession), who will play a TV agent and Charles Xavier's evil counterpart, Cassandra Nova.

Shawn Levy directs Deadpool and Wolverine from a script by Ryan Reynolds, Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick, and Zeb Wells.

I love the way the mcu have gone all in with the R rated promo.


I must admit, I doubted them when they initially purchased fox.

@TheClungerine - Echo was their first TV-MA release. It wasn't good by any means but it definitely sold to the general audience that Marvel Studios was willing to release TV-MA and R-Rated content. The hardest part is weaving it in with PG-13 content of which Deadpool & Wolverine sold to us the general audience that it can and will be done going forward.

@SonOfAGif - true!

I forgot to watch Echo 😂😅

I just assumed they'd keep all the promo pg13 but they are literally embracing the R rated material lol. I don't think I've seen so much swearing in promos as I've seen for this film.

Zero trench coat was a fail on their end but still cool to see him.
TheRogue
TheRogue - 8/11/2024, 6:33 PM
@TheLobster - They probably wanted him to stand out from gambit.
McMurdo
McMurdo - 8/11/2024, 8:16 PM
@TheRogue - he stands out from him already due to Wesley having a normal sized head

@TheRogue - that and a leather trench coat in the desert like void... I know he's a daywalker but he can still get hot?

Last time I saw a picture of Snipes, he had a black and white costume on with a prisoner number on the back of it.

Should've had the jacket from the concept art, would've been a bit more reminiscent of the jacket-look he had through his trilogy, but still not bad as he was in the actual movie

Should have given him that bad ass sword he had in the trilogy

@dracula - Would have been cool to see some acknowledgement of vampires being a thing in their universe, like maybe show him being reliant on blood packs as no ones there to make his serum or at least have him dust a hooded vamp that just so happens to be one of Cassandra's goons.
SonOfAGif
SonOfAGif - 8/11/2024, 10:35 PM
@HashTagSwagg - The fact that The Resistance was infamous in the void doesn't undersell that Blade didn't kill his enemies for their blood. Jennifer Gardner posted a video recently of the set of the Resistance base and there were a lot of set pieces and I mean a lot. Tampons on a table for Elektra and various weapons of Blade hanging in the background. Most of those products were unseen to us because we weren't looking for them. So maybe the set had blood packs.

@SonOfAGif - I wonder if there were more scenes in the hideout, given all the stuff in the background.

@HashTagSwagg - or when he gets stabed have him take a bit out of one if Cassandra’s minions

@SonOfAGif - Tampons and blood packs? Surely these two problems solve each other.

They made a choice, can't have two characters wearing trenchcoats, so they went with Gambit.

They should have at least given him his iconic sword, but then they would have had two characters with swords and Deadpool gets those. At least he had his sunglasses...

Seems like Blade got the short end. Glad to see him at least.

Should’ve had the same look as his first appearance in the original Blade film.

@Slotherin - Though to be honest the stuff herrman says is still more sane than the nazi stuff herman says.

I'm ok with the look they went with, Blade wouldn't let himself look like a bum. He really should have had his coat though. Especially since Snipes said it was freezing while they were filming but it also gives him more size since Snipes is much slimmer now.

PatchesOhulihan - 8/12/2024, 9:16 AM
@valmic - He kinda looked like he was wearing a leather janitors jumpsuit with a high waisted belt. Maybe they should have given him darker black pants. Was also hoping to see a haircut closer to the trilogy with the shaved sides. But eh still good.

I would’ve liked to see his sword and leather coat combo with the armor under it.
