Wesley Snipes Blindsided by Blade Recasting


This week Marvel shocked Blade fans after announcing Wesley Snipes had been replaced with actor Mahershala Ali for the new Blade movie [click here if you missed that]. 

Apparently Wes was unaware of the re-casting...

Wesley Snipes tells ComicBook.com
“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 Marvel Cinema Universe crew - always a fan." 
"Honor and respect to the grandmaster Stan [Lee]. Congratulations and Salaam to Mahershala Ali, a beautiful and talented artist whose expressions I look forward to experiencing for many years to come. Inshallah, we will someday work together. Most importantly to my loyal fans, the incredible outpouring of love is overwhelming. I am grateful for the never-ending support. So, ‘nah fret nah worry, it’s not de end of de story.’ Welcome to the Daywalker Klique.”
