The Marvel Cinematic Universe has ventured into the darker side of superhero movies with ‘Blade’. The vampire superhero movie was a big hit when it was released in 1998. Following the first film, two more movies were released- ‘Blade 2’ and ‘Blade Trilogy’. Now, Marvel has taken up the project of a reboot of the franchise.
However, the production house has been facing several drawbacks. Wesley Snipes, the lead of the 1998 movies, took to X to shade MCU on their ‘Blade’ reboot troubles. The latest drawback is the loss of the director for the second time. And Wesley has made the best of the opportunity to slam MCU on social media.
