The premise that makes up the plot of Wesley Snipesʼ Blade trilogy is an undisputed winner among all pop culture genres. Vampires and vampire hunters have been a fascination since the days of Bram Stokerʼs Dracula and it is no wonder that every other supernatural lore and mythology deals with the bloodsucking creatures of the night.

Wesley Snipesʼs titular role in the 1998 live-action film further solidified the actorʼs arc as one of the pioneering and underrated Hollywood gems who left behind a legacy with his role as the Daywalker-cum-vampire hunter.

Barrett Blade, the husband of Stormy Daniels, revealed that the couple would likely leave the U.S. if Donald Trump is acquitted in his New York hush money trial.
Blade made this declaration during an interview with CNN anchor Erin Burnett on Erin Burnett OutFront.
“Stormy spent more than seven hours on the stand,” Burnett noted. “She was there for over two days. Obviously, it’s the first time she was face to face with Trump since 2007. I was in that room. They’re only ten or 15 feet apart for those hours and hours. How does she feel now that her testimony is behind her?”
“I mean, I don’t think she feels any differently,” Blade responded. “Maybe a little relieved to not have to be stressed about going in there. But I think she feels the same way she always has felt about it.”

The rules of cinema imply that you should interest a viewer soon enough unless you want him to drop your movie. There are, however, seemingly perfect opening scenes, which manage not only to attract, but also to introduce you to the characters and the setting in the best way possible.
Here are 5 examples of the most remarkable movie headstarts, voiced by Redditors.
Blade (1998) - The Blood Rave
The first R-rated Marvel movie definitely knew how to stand out among other superhero movies. Blade’s incredibly creative opening sequence shows a clubgoer involved in a secret underground rave, where the sprinklers begin to rain blood down upon the crowd that turn out to be vampires. Then the film’s titular protagonist epically appears and brings order to the club full of monsters.

MCU has quite a slate of movies coming up, even though Marvel Studios has hit a rough patch with the last couple of projects. There have been talks about releasing fewer projects, as fans are definitely becoming tired of shows and movies of lower quality; still, if one character always managed to drag people to movies, it’s Spider-Man, by far the most profitable Marvel franchise, no matter the product you’re looking at.
‘Spider-Man 4’ has been in development for quite some time now, Tom Holland confirmed a while ago that he is reprising his role as Peter Parker along with Zendaya who will be back as Mj.
Aside from that, there’s little we know about the movie. Some reports stated that ‘Spider-Man 4’ will focus more on the street-level stories within the MCU, and now the latest reports state something else entirely.

The MCU has a bunch of movies on the way, even though Marvel Studios has faced some challenges with recent projects. There’s talk of cutting back on releases because fans are getting tired of lower-quality shows and movies. But when it comes to bringing in audiences, Spider-Man always delivers. It’s the most successful Marvel franchise, no matter what kind of Spider-Man content you’re talking about.
‘Spider-Man 4’ has been in the works for a while now. Tom Holland confirmed a bit ago that he’s returning as Peter Parker, and Zendaya will be back as Mj.
Apart from that, there’s not much information available about the movie. Some reports suggested that ‘Spider-Man 4’ would focus more on the street-level tales within the MCU. However, the latest reports indicate something different.

Watching movies on the big screen is an indulgence these days. Everyone prefers sitting in their homes, opening Netflix or Prime or any other streaming site, and watching whatever they feel like. But seems like viewers will have to indulge a little more than usual if they want to experience movies and not just watch them. Just ask Christopher Nolan, and he can tell you all about the IMAX experience.

And now, others are looking to emulate the same in their movie-making. In their 2025 slate, IMAX will be releasing no less than 14 movies in their “filmed for IMAX” format. And out of these 14, 5 of them are superhero flicks from both Dcu and the MCU. Looks like it will be less of Netflix and more of IMAX for next year.

Phase Six is going to be a crucial one for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with half of the projects announced so far being reboots. But after The Fantastic Four serves as Marvel’s big summer blockbuster there will be Blade, with Mahershala Ali in the title role, taking over one of Wesley Snipes’ signature characters. But will Snipes step in for a cameo?
This week, Wesley Snipes responded to an article that reported that he was “already signed to do some stuff” in next year’s Blade by writing, “Whuhuuuut?” along with the side eye emoji.

Games with swords speak of quiet promises. The moment you see a strong, silent character with a katana in hand, you know they mean business. Die by the Blade hones a neat set of sword skills that can put other games to shame, and tries to raise the bar in combat system design.
Challenging, fun, and addictive, Die by the Blade reflects a game design decision that holds a lot of potential. Unfortunately, due to its limited creative and artistic direction, it feels like an experience worthy of multiple expansions and single-player campaigns that aren’t yet actualized.
Die by the Blade launches on May 16 and arrives on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S/X, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
A Slash in a Flash; Nothing More and Nothing Less Successful attacks and death animations feel incredibly satisfying.
Die by the Blade, just like its combat system does not hesitate at any point.

The rumor that Wesley Snipes could once again return as the vampire-slaying Blade is not new. We reported on it last year. However, the possibility of a cameo in Deadpool & Wolverine didn’t get a reaction from the actor until recently.
An insider claims Blade will return, and the original man attached to the role has “already signed to do some stuff there.” Snipes appears to be very surprised by the rumor Screen Geek is reporting. On X, the actor responded by asking, “Whuhuuuut?”

Match #1: Sol Ruca def. Izzi Dame The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
The first entrant into the Nxt Women’s North American Title Ladder Match at Nxt Battleground was determined when Sol Ruca and Izzi Dame went toe-to-toe for the honor. Ruca looked to use her aerial attack but took a hard fall to the outside before Dame chucked her onto the announce table. Dame, even without former mentor Kiana James by her side, grounded the high-flying Ruca. Just as Dame looked to be in control, Ruca hit the Soul Snatcher, booking her ticket to Las Vegas.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is bustling with numerous upcoming projects set for release over the next few years. Among them is the highly anticipated ‘Blade’ reboot, intended to introduce the iconic vampire hunter from comic book lore into the MCU.
Mahershala Ali spearheaded the project and is set to portray the titular vampire hunter. Initially slated for a 2023 release, the film’s debut has been postponed to 2025 (thus far) due to Ali’s dissatisfaction with the screenplay.
A few weeks back, we talked about some big rumors saying Wesley Snipes might be back as Blade. Lots of fans got excited because, for them, he’s still the best vampire hunter. The rumor even said he’d be in several projects as part of the Multiverse Saga.
Now, Snipes caught wind of the rumor and had a funny response that might just shut it down.

MCU has plenty of projects in the works scheduled to be released over the course of the next several years, one of them is the ‘Blade’ reboot, developed to bring in the most notable vampire hunter in the history of comics to MCU.
Mahershala Ali proposed the project and will be playing the titular vampire hunter. The movie was originally supposed to come out in 2023, but the release date was pushed all the way to 2025 (so far) due to Ali not exactly being happy with the script.
A few weeks ago we covered highly viral rumors that Wesley Snipes is returning to his old role, that of Blade. For many fans, he is still the gold standard when it comes to vampire hunters so plenty of fans were elated. The rumor went as far as to claim that Snipes will reprise his role in multiple projects set to be a part of Multiverse Saga.

We've been hearing reports that original Blade star Wesley Snipes might be set to reprise the role for a few years at this stage, but when the news broke that Marvel Studios was developing a new movie with Mahershala Ali taking over as the Daywalker, Snipes donning the shades and swords again began to seem highly unlikely.
However, a recent rumor claimed that Snipes will return as Blade in the Marvel Cinematic Universe at some point, and has "already signed to do some stuff" in the Multiverse.
Now, Snipes has shared a response via social media.

In 2014, controversial actor Kevin Spacey ventured into the realm of video games with Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare. Spacey portrayed Jonathan Irons, the CEO of a powerful private military corporation, in a move that marked a significant departure for his film and TV-focussed career.
Speaking with The Guardian, Spacey described how his role in the game’s development was much more than simply lending his voice and likeness, as well as the pitfalls he wanted to avoid in order to make his character as authentic as possible.
