As we eagerly await the premier of Marvel Studios’ new Blade in 2025, we’re jumping back in time to 1998 to take a look at the original bad ass vampire hunter, or Daywalker, Wesley Snipes!
Eerily similar to The Matrix in style and format (and filmed during the same time period), Blade was the first proper big screen Marvel film, paving the way for X-Men, Spider-Man, and eventually the Marvel Cinematic Universe. So push play now and join Phil, Chuck, and Esteban in the studio as they chat it up about the first Marvel movie to be a big hit and a cult classic, featuring action-packed excitement, vampire slaying, and a dark tone!
