The enormous number of superhero films produced since the premiere of Superman: The Movie For almost half a century, a small curiosity has been leaving us, a myriad of actors who have played various characters. Some of them have even done it within the same multiverse.
Among the most celebrated cases we have Chris Evanswho went from being a member of The Fantastic Four in 2005 to becoming the Captain America the First Avenger just six years later. For his part, Ryan Reynolds can boast, the truth is that not so much, of having been a Green Lantern at Warner Bros. & DC at the same time that he was recruited by 20th Century Fox & Marvel to be the mercenary with a mouth, first for X-Men Origins: Wolverine and later for the two solo adventures, with a third on the way to being made, of Deadpool.
But, did you know that five years before the aforementioned Wolverine tape the actor already debuted in the multiverse of the publisher of Spider-Man and Doctor Doom? If you don’t remember, we don’t blame you, because the Free Guy star was totally unrecognizable at his Marvel premiere with Blade: Trinitythe latest installment in a saga of capital importance for superhero cinema.
Blade Trilogy [Alemania] [Blu-ray]
Without Blade, the MCU might never have arrived.
This assumption may perhaps seem exaggerated. After all, productions such as Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man were also released for those, which made the interest of audiences in this type of product very clear to the industry. But Blade was the first powerful and successful project that demonstrated the potential of Marvel characters to become great movie icons.
As long as it was embraced by writers talented enough to do it justice. In the case of Blade, that role fell to David S. Goyer. The comic writer also signed the three installments of Blade, also acting as director, without much success, in Blade: Trinity. His mastery ended up being worth it for Christopher Nolan to bet on him for the Batman saga: The Dark Knight, which in turn served him to lay the foundations for Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel.
But today it’s time to talk about Blade: Trinity, the last installment of a trilogy that was liked except for this one. Possibly not having a filmmaker of the stature of Guillermo del Toro made this project the most beaten in the trilogy, garnering a bare 24% average recommendation on Rotten Tomatoes, with critics who saw it as a festival of blood and action without much more to tell. “A soulless adrenaline machine that is never terrifying and rarely interesting,” Maitland McDonagh said in her review for TV Guide.
Ryan Reynolds and Wesley Snipes never hit it off on the set of Blade: Trinity
Behind the scenes the production was not much better. It is said that Ryan Reynolds and Wesley Snipes got along quite badly, a rumor that Deadpool himself has addressed on more than one occasion assuring how difficult it was to deal with his non-existent sense of humor . “I’ve never met Wesley, I’ve only met Blade, and he’s a method actor,” the actor said in an interview with IGN.
Where to see today Blade: Trinity on television
The film is screened tonight, August 24, through Be Mad, the Mediaset film channel, from 22:10 (peninsular time). If you don’t make it in time for this showing, the movie is available via HBO Max. Blade, let’s remember, is preparing to make his leap to the MCU with Mahershala Ali, another actor who will have had the opportunity to play two Marvel characters after debuting as Cottonmouth in the series Luke Cage para Netflix.
