Summary
Marvel concept artist reveals what Blade’s alternateMCUcostumes looked duringDeadpool & Wolverine’s development. Wesley Snipes made his MCU debut as one ofDeadpool & Wolverine’s multiversal characters, appearing in the Void as a pruned Blade variant who joins forces with other survivors to oppose Cassandra Nova. Blade fought Cassandra Nova’s henchmen, helped Deadpool & Wolverine escape the Void, and dropped one ofDeadpool & Wolverine’s funniest easter eggsin the form of a jab at the MCU’s Blade.
OnInstagram, Marvel concept artistWes Burtshares a few pieces ofDeadpool & Wolverineconcept art featuring Wesley Snipes' Blade. Burt’s images include a Blade costume that looks similar to the one the vampire hunter wears in 1998’sBlademovie, a samurai-inspired suit, a trenchcoat, and a leather outfit.

How Blade’s Deadpool & Wolverine Costume Compared To His Original Movies
Wesley Snipes' Blade Wears Much More Armor In Deadpool & Wolverine
Blade’s costume inDeadpool & Wolverinesports a similar look to his original costume. Its black-and-burgundy color scheme, with a silver rhombus shape on the chest, resembles the vampire hunter’s outfit fromBlade: Trinity. Blade’s burgundy and silver accents are smaller this time around, but they’re a neat display of attention to detail, as they suggest that Blade’sDeadpool & Wolverinecostume is an evolved version of his last on-screen outfit.
Deadpool & Wolverine Ending Explained
Deadpool & Wolverine’s ending is filled with multiversal stakes, insane cameos, and big teases for the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Blade’s new costume ditches the black leather trenchcoat and replaces it with armor plates.It’s unknown whether this Blade variant was pruned with hisBlade: Trinityoutfit and later updated his clothes with armor he designed in the Void, or if he spent more than twenty years fighting vampires and upgrading his costume until he was pruned and thrown into the Void. Either way, Blade is clearly older and chooses to exchange agility for protection.
Blade’s alternate costumes provide material for other variants somewhere out there in the multiverse
Blade’s alternate concept art costumes would have hinted at very different backstories. HadDeadpool & Wolverineused any of those looks, Wesley Snipes' Blade probably would have had lived more extravagant experiences in between the events ofthe poorly receivedBlade: Trinityand his battle against Cassandra Nova’s forces. From mastering the katana (and getting a facial scar) to developing military skills and possibly becoming a vampire-killing priest, Blade’s alternate costumes provide material for other variants somewhere out there in the multiverse.
