Marvel Said to be Developing an R-Rated BLADE Reboot

Marvel has been teasing us with the possibility of an R-rated superhero flick for a while now, but so far, they’ve yet to deliver. Though rumored to be R-rated, Venom turned out to be a PG-13 affair; similarly, rumors that the upcoming Black Widow movie would be rated R were also officially disproven. Still, our friends at We Got this Covered just dropped some news that, if true, will have superhero and horror fans screaming with joy!

We’re talking about a reboot of Blade, the 1990s-era trilogy featuring Wesley Snipes as the titular anti-hero/half-vampire! Bets of all, Snipes is rumored to be involved:

“A source close to We Got This Covered has alleged that Marvel is currently planning an R-rated Blade movie, and as per Wesley Snipes’ various teases last year, it’s said that the star of the previous film trilogy is likely to be involved in the project. On top of that, it’s reported that the studio already has a script which sees Eric Brooks training his daughter (presumably Fallon Grey), but since it’s still an early draft, plans could easily change.”

You’d better believe we’ll be keeping our ears close to the ground to see how this pans out. Stay tuned!
