Blade (1998) – Wesley Snipes Changed Superhero Movies Forever

Before the MCU, before the Avengers assembled, there was Blade. Released in 1998, Blade starred Wesley Snipes as the iconic Daywalker — a half-human, half-vampire with a thirst for justice. This gritty, R-rated Marvel adaptation paved the way for modern superhero cinema, blending martial arts, horror, and comic book lore into a genre-defining action film.

Revisit the blood-soaked legacy of one of the most influential comic book movies ever made. Directed by Stephen Norrington and written by David S. Goyer, Blade was a box office success that proved superhero films could be dark, stylish, and profitable.

With unforgettable action scenes, a killer soundtrack, and Snipes in peak form, Blade remains a cult classic and a cornerstone of Marvel’s cinematic evolution. Watch the original trailer now and see where the modern superhero era truly began.
