Wesley Trent Snipes (born July 31, 1962) is an American actor and martial artist. Snipes has made films in a variety of genres, such as numerous thrillers, dramatic feature films, and comedies, though he is best known for his action films. He was nominated for the Independent Spirit Award for Best Supporting Male for his work in The Waterdance (1992) and won the Volpi Cup for Best Actor for his performance in the film One Night Stand (1997). Born in Florida, Snipes had notable parts in the comedy film Major League (1989), the drama Mo' Better Blues (1990), and the crime drama King of New York (1990) before gaining prominence by playing a drug lord in the crime drama New Jack City (1991). He subsequently received more attention for the drama film Jungle Fever (1991), the sports comedy White Men Can't Jump (1992), and the action film Passenger 57 (1992). He has since starred in various genres, such as the comedy film To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar (1995), the thriller The Fan (1996), and the drama film Down in the Delta (1998), but mostly established himself as an action star, portraying both heroes and villains in films such as Demolition Man (1993), Rising Sun (1993), Money Train (1995), and U.S. Marshals (1998). Also in 1998, he was cast as Eric Brooks/BBlade in the superhero film Blade, based on the Marvel Comics superhero of the same name, a role he went on to reprise in Blade II (2002), Blade: Trinity (2004), and Deadpool & Wolverine (2024). Snipes had smaller roles during the 2000s and moved to direct-to-video action films before returning to the theatrical release with films such as Brooklyn's Finest (2009) and The Expendables 3 (2014). His television work includes multiple episodes in the drama series H.E.L.P. (1990), the action thriller crime drama series The Player (2015), and the drama limited series True Story (2021), as well as the romantic drama film Disappearing Acts (2000). He formed a production company, Amen-Ra Films, in 1991, and a subsidiary, Black Dot Media, to develop projects for film and television. Snipes has been training in martial arts since the age of 12, earning a 5thdan black belt in Shotokan karate and a 2nddan black belt in Hapkido. He is credited with helping popularise martial arts in Hollywood and bringing martial arts to mainstream audiences, as well as contributing to the representation of Black actors in action roles, breaking stereotypes. In 2017, Snipes made his debut as a novelist with the urban fantasy supernatural adventure Talon of God.

This movie would stay mostly the same, but I'd flesh it out a little bit more. Especially with the cameos, the ending and how Deadpool's future and the future of the Multiverse would work. Change One: The ending ends with Deadpool and, with the exception of Colossus and Wolverine, his loved ones (Venessa Carlyle, Peter, Negasonic Teenage Warhead, Yukio, Blind-Al, and Shatterstar) being sent to the MCU by the T.V.A. and someone with a time device. (We'll get to who that time traveler is in the post credit scene) Change Two: As for Garner's Elektra, Snipes’ Blade, Tatum's Gambit and Keen's X-23. They're from near identical universes that have been destroyed by Kang, but the T.V.A. saved them by throwing them into the Void. We'll get the main versions of them in Secret Wars. Also, in my version, we explicitly see the T.V.A. give them new peaceful universes to live in. It would actually happen on screen. I'm nervous about adding more cameos, but I'd have post-apocalyptic variants of Nicholas Cage's Ghost Rider, Ben Affleck's Daredevil and Thomas Jane's Punisher appear here as well. Similar to concept art, but they're fighting and killing Cassandra Nova's army instead, with X-Gon-Give-It-To-Ya playing in the background. C’mon guys, it's basically Deadpool's theme song at this point since 2016.
