Wesley Snipes Reportedly Hated Ryan Reynolds and Nearly Strangled Blade 3 Director. „I Don’t Think Anybody Involved with That Film Is Happy with the Results”

As a longtime fan of the Marvel universe, I must admit that the making of “Blade 3” has always been shrouded in intrigue and tension. Having watched both Wesley Snipes and Ryan Reynolds deliver stellar performances in their respective roles, it’s hard not to wonder about the reported friction between them on set.


It seems that the production of Blade 3 was quite a challenging endeavor for all involved, as tension filled the set. As per reports, the lead actor, Wesley Snipes, is said to have had strained relationships with his co-star, Ryan Reynolds, and the film’s director, David Goyer. In simpler terms, working on this Marvel superhero production was reportedly a tough task for everyone involved.

As a devoted admirer, I’d like to share an intriguing tidbit about the making of one of my favorite movies. According to Patton Oswalt, who discussed this with The AV Club (as reported by The Hollywood Reporter), it seems that there was a rather strained relationship between the star, Mr. Snipes, and the director. In fact, it’s been said that at one point, Snipes came quite close to choking the director! Quite dramatic, isn’t it?

That evening, they visited a strip club where everyone was drinking. A group of bikers were also present. David suggested to them that he’d cover their drinks if they pretended to be his security on the set the next day. This proposition made Wesley uneasy and he returned to his trailer.

When queried about the matter, the director simply mentioned that he was once friends with Snipes, but that was long ago. He declined to delve into the specifics, instead suggesting that likely nobody cherishes their time working on Blade 3 or is satisfied with its outcome.

As a fellow gamer, let me share my thoughts about Wesley as an actor – I’ve always held him in high regard, even though we’re no longer friends. Now, I’m pals with Patton and have collaborated with him extensively. Frankly, I believe nobody associated with that movie had a pleasant time during production. For me, it was definitely a challenging experience. And I don’t think anyone connected to the film is pleased with the final product either; it was a pretty tough project overall.

Regarding Reynolds, it’s been discovered that their disagreements stemmed from personality clashes. These two individuals are polar opposites and possess distinct senses of humor, which occasionally resulted in arguments. Interestingly, during the filming of Blade: Trinity, Chris Parry unveiled an incident where Snipes used a derogatory term, “cracker,” aimed at Reynolds. This term is offensive and refers to a poor, white person, particularly from the southern United States.

It appears that neither actor holds grudges against the other, as suggested by their statements. Their co-starring role in the movie “Deadpool & Wolverine” underscores this reconciliation.

In a recent chat with Entertainment Weekly, I (the gamer) opened up about my friendship with Reynolds and his knack for comedy. Here’s the lowdown on our bond and his hilarious side!

I don’t possess that particular style, so I felt it was somewhat excessive for my taste. However, observing him portray this role in the context of Deadpool & Wolverine seemed fitting. Not only did he excel at it, but Ryan Reynolds is exceptionally good at what he does – a skill that many lack. He’s unique in his approach, and he’s mastered a remarkable niche for himself. Essentially, Deadpool is a character that Ryan Reynolds embodies perfectly. As a result, working with him was enjoyable, and revisiting the role was equally pleasurable.

In an interview with IGN, Reynolds stated that the reports of their conflict were overstated. He acknowledged the differences in their characters and explained that while working on the film, he was interacting with Blade, not Snipes. Respectfully, he referred to Snipes as a method actor, meaning his personality is distinct from Wesley’s character. In essence, Reynolds said he never met Wesley; all he knew was Blade during the movie production.
