Bleeding Cool has previously reported that the newly to-be-relaunched Blade comic featuring the daughter of Blade, has been delayed.

I understand from well-connected sources that this is due to careful concern from up above the food chain, that the character and the comic are suddenly considered extremely important by the bean counters, and the multi-media folk.

Because the plan is that this new Blade will be the one that features in the next Blade movie.

The first successful movie based on a Marvel comic book, Wesley Snipes’ Blade was an unexpected hit, spawned two sequels and resurrected and remade the vampire hunting daywalker character within the Marvel Universe.

There has been much talk of new Blade films, given the more recent success of many more Marvel movies, and that the rights had returned to Marvel. And Wesley Snipes has been in talk about returning to the character with Marvel.

Could it be as a more fatherly figure?

Wesley Snipes Teases 'Blade' Revival at Marvel: "Conversations Have Been Good"

Wesley Snipes is teasing that Blade could be the latest addition to Marvel's Cinematic Universe, saying that he's "still in shape enough and fit enough to handle the role."

"There's always a possibility, you know," Snipes told The Huffington Post when asked about a possible return of his vampiric vampire hunter. "It's in Marvel's hands. They're controlling the pace and the flow with that. Conversations have been good. They see the value in it. We see the value in it."

After affirming that he's still fit enough to portray the character he played in a trilogy of movies from 1998 through 2004, Snipes added, "We'll see how it goes. I don't really know what's going to happen to it yet." Asked about the possibility of adding the character to Marvel's Avengers, Snipes said, "That would be interesting. I mean, I know it's in the comic book. It would be interesting to see where they would place him and where he really would fit in. He's got to bite somebody. I don't know who he's going to bite."

Following some time as a supporting character in the recent Mighty Avengers series, Blade is set for a high-profile comic book relaunch this fall as part of Marvel's All-New, All-Different Marvel publishing relaunch, although it won't be the traditional Blade at the center of the new series; instead, the new comic book will center around Blade's previously unknown teenage daughter — a new status quo that is already rumored to be under development at Marvel Studios.

Marvel did not respond to a request for comment.
