From Variety
Wesley Snipes has broken two Guinness World Records after making a unexpected appearance as Blade in “Deadpool & Wolverine.”
The actor’s return as the half-vampire “daywalker” in superhero threequel comes 25 years and 340 days after he first played the character in 1998’s “Blade,” according to Guinness World Records, securing him the record of the longest career as a live-action Marvel character. Snipes beat out his co-star Hugh Jackman, whose first appearance as Wolverine came 24 years ago in 2000’s “X-Men.”
Snipes’ surprise cameo as Blade also earned him another Guinness World Record: the longest gap between character appearances in Marvel films. According to Guinness, he last played the character 19 years and 231 day ago in the 2004 film “Blade: Trinity,” surpassing Alfred Molina’s 17-year gap between playing Doc Ock in 2004’s “Spider-Man 2” and 2021’s “Spider-Man: No Way Home.”
