    I'm tired of these ? ass white actors calling black actors "crazy or unapproachable"...
    u know what that really is right?
    they aren't used to dealing black ppl who r way more talented and successful than them... disgusting...

    Or it could just be that those actors are ? . It's not like it's just black actors that have that label. They say the same thing about Christian Bale and Edward Norton. Honestly, I hear more people talk about how great certain black stars are to work with rather than how bad, so I think you're off here.

    Reboot Blade? You know that isnt a bad idea. Who would be good to play Blade? Cause I cant see no one else besides Sniper playing that role. I rather see Blade than punk ass multiple Supermam reboots (misspelling intentional)

    Sticky Fingaz played that ? in the TV show...i never watched it but I assume that ? was extra wacktastic

    You know, I copped that ? for the low. I was prejudging like hell for the pilot episode...but then I kept watching it and it really wasn't that bad. ? was out just one season...4 disc set.

    To cast blade it has to be more than just hiring another brother who can act. Wesley raised the bar in terms of playing blade not only could he act but he had the martial arts experience to back it up on top of that he was fast. idris elba? derek luke? jaie white? Imo jai white is too slow if you watched any of his action movies you could see those kicks and punches coming a mile away,im pretty sure hes bad ass in real life but on screene his skills doesnt come across as anything spectacular. If they recast blade they need bring in some new blood whos a decent actor,has the martial art background,swordplay and speed most importantly do blade any real justice...

    Like I said before, Jamie Foxx and tie that ? into Spiderman.

    Other choices include Derek Luke and Mekhi Pfifer.

    I can't really think of any other actors.

    MJW is too massive to play blade.

    but he's also the best choice...

    Michael J. White is too muscular to play Wesley Snipes.... he's not too big to play Blade

    Michael Jai White is the only choice.. I hate it, but its true

    Hollywood can't convince me that George Clooney is Bruce Wayne, but with the write story and script Hollywood could convince me that Michael Jai White IS Blade

    but the only way it will work is if the totally revamp the franchise and start over from scratch

    fill it full of action and suspense to cover up Michael's acting flaws

    make it less "urban" and make it more like "Underworld"

    Michael Jai White is the choice hands down. He can be a smart ass, he is nice with the martial arts skills, he is an action guy and of course he is a brotha. It has to be Mike or some new guy most people don't really know about.

    to be a true martial artist MJW has some of the sloppiest moves ever...bad footwork and all.

    Maybe in fight speed his ? is real but movie wise that ? moves aint clean or crisp at all...Snipes ? be quick and clean even on Passenger 57 "Always bet on black"
