With their upcoming horror film, The Deliverance, Netflix is set to unleash a terrifying tale inspired by real-life events.

Movie Review: Deadpool & Wolverine Does Not Disappoint

I was among the many who headed to theaters this weekend to see Deadpool & Wolverine. It was a great experience, not only the movie but hearing the laughter and shock of those around me. WARNING SPOILERS Deadpool & Wolverine begins with a sad and pathetic Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds), heartbroken from his split with Vanessa (Morena Baccarin). He’s trying to be the man she wants him to be while working as a car salesman (yes, really). Suddenly, a time agent, Mr. Paradox, offers him the chance to be the antihero we all love again. Unfortunately, he is told that his timeline is ending because Wolverine died.

Iconic Character’s Cameo in ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ Breaks Two World Records

I headed to the theater this past Saturday to watch Deadpool & Wolverine. As I sat laughing, I got a huge surprise I was not expecting: I saw Wesley Snipes walk on screen as his iconic character Blade (pictured). You could hear the audience gasping and breaking out in cheers for the daywalker. Snipe’s appearance in the movie shattered two Guinness World Records for the star. One was for the longest live-action Marvel character, previously held by his fellow co-star Hugh Jackman, who has long played Wolverine. Snipes also broke the record for the largest gap in character appearances, appearing 25 years and 240 days after the first Blade movie debuted in 1998. Two sequels followed: Blade II in 2002 and Blade: Trinity in 2004, which also starred Deadpool’s Ryan Reynolds (pictured). As Snipes reclaims the spotlight as Blade, Marvel’s planned reboot starring Mahershala Ali continues languishing in development hell with multiple delays. The latest update came in June, revealing
