Get ready for a new era of vampire-hunting as the highly anticipated “Blade” returns in 2024! This fresh installment revives the iconic Marvel Comics superhero in a thrilling reboot.

The original “Blade” (1998), directed by Stephen Norrington and written by David S. Goyer, introduced audiences to the fierce Dhampir, Blade—portrayed by Wesley Snipes.

The film starred Snipes as the titular character, supported by Stephen Dorff, Kris Kristofferson, and N’Bushe Wright. Blade, a half-human, half-vampire, uses his unique abilities to hunt vampires, teaming up with his mentor Abraham Whistler and hematologist Karen Jenson to combat the vicious Deacon Frost.

Released on August 21, 1998, the original “Blade” was a commercial hit, grossing $70 million at the U.S. box office and $131.2 million worldwide. Despite mixed critical reviews, it received positive audience reactions and has since developed a cult following. It is celebrated as one of Snipes’ most iconic roles and paved the way for its sequels, “Blade II” and “Blade: Trinity,” both penned by Goyer, who also directed the latter. Blade’s dark, gritty tone was pioneering for superhero films at the time and marked the beginning of Marvel’s cinematic success, setting the stage for future comic book adaptations.

Stay tuned for the 2024 reboot, promising to bring a modern twist to this beloved vampire slayer’s legacy!
