Guinness World Records announced last week that Wesley Snipes took two titles when he reprised his role as Blade in his recent Deadpool & Wolverine cameo after originating the character in his first 1998 solo movie outing. With his return coming nearly 26 years after first playing the half-vampire “daywalker” (aka Eric Brooks), Snipes beats out Deadpool & Wolverine co-star Hugh Jackman for Longest Career as a Live-Action Marvel Character. After Jackman first played Wolverine (aka Logan) in 2000’s X-Men, he was expected to beat out Patrick Stewart‘s Professor Charles Xavier for the title with his latest performance. With more than 19 years since his last appearance in Blade: Trinity (2004), Snipes also claims Longest Gap Between Character Appearances in Marvel Films. Alfred Molina previously held the record with his return as Doctor Octopus in Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021), 17 years after Spider-Man 2 (2004). Blade is scheduled for a Nov. 7, 2025 premiere.
