Wesley Snipes recalls how the idea of reprising his superhero role as Blade in Deadpool and Wolverine came about. Snipes opened up about a call he got from Ryan Reynolds and how he questioned if it would ever happen. “It started with a text from Ryan Reynolds,” Snipes told Entertainment Weekly.

Snipes joked that when he saw the text and he said, “I hate this guy,” telling Reynolds directly, “You know, this is a joke.
