    With rumors abound of a Blade reboot (Marvel has a stick up their ass about reboots recently). Who would you cast as Blade, beside Wesley Snipes. I dont really have an answer for this one since Snipes defined the role so well and turned him from the green and yellow, goggle-wearing noob to the ultimate badass. If you got a choice, express it!

    I think that the guy who plays the character "Eggs" in True Blood  would be a good choice.  His name is  Mehcad Brooks. He not a bad pick I don't think.

    The only other Black actor that would be believable as far as fighting and stunts is Michael Jai White.

    Everyone here! THINK about what you post! This is (IMO) what is wrong with casting anyways in comic-based movies! 

    THINK outside of BIG names or normal casting...THIS guy would be absolutely amazing, and *cough cough* (to Marvel) HE actually looks like the character in the books!....

    I think both could believably be Blade.

    Kudos to Wesley who did kill it but if not him definitely Michael Jai....He has the deep voice for it too.  There is no other Black martial artist even close to him in Hollywood
