Wesley Snipes’ Blade trilogy is trending on Twitter, and all it took was a viral tweet thanking Sony’s Spider-Man and Fox’s X-Men franchises for being the ultimate catalysts for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. As one now-viral tweeter put it, Marvel Studios’ wildly popular MCU wouldn’t exist without the likes of Tobey Maguire’s Peter Parker and Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine.
As fate would have it, defenders of the original Blade franchise quickly stepped in and applaud Snipes for helping salvage Marvel as a whole. After all, the company was on the brink of bankruptcy, and Blade’s solid enough $131 million global box office helped keep Marvel afloat a little while longer.
