Here’s some good news and some not-so-good news.  First, it appears that Wesley Snipes was released from prison a few days ago, which means that I don’t have to ask any more questions about his whereabouts.

That’s the good news.  The not-so-good news is that there are rumors that Morris Chestnut will be playing the Black Panther in Joss Whedon’s ‘Avengers 2.’

Chestnut is a good actor, though I always hoped that Snipes would take the role.

Oh, well.  At least there’s always Blade, a proven quantity make even more likelier for rebooting since the orignal films were quite profitable (even the mediocre “Blade: Trinity” did decent box office, earning almost $129 million on a $75 million budget).

New Line no longer has anything to do with the character, the rights having reverted back to Marvel, so I think that the odds are high that we will be seeing Blade again, though the question is who will be playing him.
