Wesley Snipes sets world record for 'reserving' roles

For many years, Wesley Snipes has been on hiatus from superhero movies because his role as the vampire slayer Blade has been tried and failed by Marvel to revive him on screen many times. From the late 1990s to the early 2000s, his name was associated with the Blade franchise, but after that, when the series was no longer exploited due to many internal problems at Marvel, he appeared in other action movies but was not very prominent.

It wasn't until the blockbuster Deadpool & Wolverine was produced (recently released) that he had the opportunity to once again portray the vampire slayer Blade, even if it was just a cameo among dozens of other guest roles in this film.

To date, Wesley is the longest-serving actor in the MCU (live-action films) with 25 years and 240 days since his first appearance in Blade (1998). At the same time, he has the longest "gap" between the same character in 2 films - 19 years and 231 days since his last appearance in Blade: Trinity (2004) and recently in Deadpool & Wolverine .
