The Big Picture In addition to Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman reprising their respective titular roles, Deadpool & Wolverine features many other actors returning to past Marvel characters, both from the Marvel Cinematic Universe and outside of it, with several of these performers doing so after hiatuses of a decade or more from their roles.

Snipes, who, like the other Council actors, is referred to by his real first name, joins the proceedings via Skype. Most of the other Council members do not like him and question his inclusion, derisively noting that he is “a Daywalker” and vampire killer, just like Blade, though Swinton ultimately maintains that he should be allowed to participate given that he is half-vampire, with Trejo noting that he’ll only listen to half of his opinion.

'What We Do in the Shadows' Frequently References the Blade Films Although the most notable, Snipes’ cameo isn’t the only reference to Blade in the What We Do in the Shadows franchise. In the film, Waititi’s character, Viago, objects to one of his roommates dressing as Blade for Halloween, saying that going as the vampire hunter would be offensive. In the TV show, Nadja is shown to be a particularly passionate fan of the films.
