Naruto Live Action was announced in 2015. After almost a decade, fans saw progress with a new scriptwriter and director joining the movie. But still, there has been no news of any official release date or when the shooting will begin. The plot is also missing at the moment. It is unclear whether it will be an original story or something based on the anime.
If the live-action movie includes some inter-village problems, fans have found the perfect person to play the role of Fourth Raikage. All the Naruto fans are yearning for Deadpool & Wolverine’s Old Blade actor. Even Masashi Kishimoto will appreciate the fans when he comes to know the person.
Wesley Snipes’ Deadpool & Wolverine Cameo Has Got The Naruto Fans Excited
MCU’s Deadpool & Wolverine was one of the most anticipated movies of 2024. It marked the return of Hugh Jackman as Logan/Wolverine, and he would be wearing the iconic black and yellow suit for the first time. But what people did not know was that there would be tons of cameos and surprises in store for the fans. One of them happens to be Wesley Snipes’ return as Blade.
His return as an aged Blade got the Naruto fans excited. More than an aged Blade, he looks like Fourth Raikage had a change of wardrobe. With the live-action movie confirmed, he would be the perfect person to play A. A has a muscular build, back brushed hair, mustache, and goatee.
Snipes-aged Blade could undergo a blonde transformation, and voila, the Naruto fans have the perfect Fourth Raikage. Marvel director Destin Daniel Cretton will direct the movie. Not only the facial part but Snipes’ figure also matches A. Moreover, he is familiar with the superhero stuff, so the role of Fourth Raikage would not be much of a problem.
Movies seldom hire actors backed by the fans. Wesley Snipes as A needs to be one of those seldom times. Even Masashi Kishimoto will back the fans after watching the actor’s cameo in Deadpool & Wolverine. One Piece Live Action has set a milestone. By signing Wesley Snipes, the Naruto franchise could send a strong message to its rivals.
Wesley Snipes’ Blade Set A Trend For Marvel Movies
Blade is an admired protagonist in Marvel comics. Wesley Snipes played the role of Blade in 1998. He reprised the role in 2002 and 2004. The African American actor was the one who started a trend for superhero movies even before it was a thing. He was a superhero a decade before the Marvel Cinematic Universe began.
With his cameo in Deadpool & Wolverine, he is officially the actor playing the same character for the longest time in MCU, surpassing Hugh Jackman as the Wolverine. The Blade movies were pretty fun and exciting. Snipes is a martial artist, so his sword movements were quite swift and smooth.
His cameo in the latest MCU movie is one of many. The entire Marvel fandom might be divided about whose cameo was the best. But the Naruto fandom will only be keeping their eyes on Snipes. The perfect live-action A is within their grasp. Lionsgate should not waste much time signing him.
Deadpool & Wolverine is currently in theaters.
