Wesley Snipes did a lot more than give a strong and memorable performance as Marvel Comics’ vampire slayer Blade back in 1998.
“Because he's a good actor, he's a talented actor, and he appreciates the craft, the art form of acting,” Wesley told me via Zoom video last week when asked why Mahershala will make a ‘great’ Blade, as Wesley previously said.
“The thing I realized, or one of the things I realized, is that once you begin a story and you establish some parameters, the physics of the world, the setting of the world, the risk, once you establish that, you got to stay true to it,” Wesley said. “And the second trick is to not telegraph what is coming next. Tricky to do in graphic novels. A little easier to do with film when it's done right. But yeah, I think that's what I've brought to it so far.
“So working with Wesley has been such an amazing journey because he looks at it not just from his own perspective as a character, what would my character do, how would I approach this as a character, but also as a producer, as a creator, as someone who knows where this is going to be realized in other mediums, eventually.
Snipes said similar to pro baseball, when the cast and crew shot at the baseball field it was all business on the set.
