Deadpool & Wolverine’s iconic cameo of Wesley Snipes has been nothing less than cheers and whistles in the cinema halls. While the actor reprised his role as Blade in the Marvel movie, Ryan Reynolds shared behind-the-scenes pictures with the veteran actor, along with a note of gratitude. Snipes is among the many notable cameos in the most recent Marvel movie. In addition, the actor makes appearances alongside Henry Cavill, Chris Evans, Jennifer Garner, and Channing Tatum. 

On his Instagram account, Reynolds revealed that it was Snipes who paved the way for the MCU. Moreover, the Deadpool actor described him as the “Marvel Daddy.” 

In the caption, Reynolds wrote, “There is no Fox Marvel Universe or MCU without Blade first creating a market.” He further added, “He is Marvel Daddy. Please share for a Logan-like send-off.” Snipes marked his return in the iconic suit after a decade, as the last appearance of the actor as a superhero was claimed to be in the 2004 film Blade: Trinity. The actor played the role of Hannibal King in the film. 

In a conversation with Variety, director Shawn Levy revealed that it was Reynolds’ early idea to cast the cameos in the third installment of Deadpool. Levy said, “Wesley’s return as Blade was a very early idea of Ryan’s.” He also stated that The Proposal actor felt that Snipes’ character of Hannibal King never received the perfect send-off.

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are reportedly considering next steps amid their strained relationship. A source told PEOPLE that the Atlas actress “hasn’t seen Ben for weeks.” She has been spending her days away from him in New York City and the Hamptons, where she held a large birthday bash with friends and family, which excluded Affleck. 

Meanwhile, the Good Will Hunting actor has been spending his time in Los Angeles. “They’re moving on separately. Jennifer is trying to find a new home to start fresh,” the source added. The tabloids have been bombarding the news of their strained relationship and potential separation for a while now.   

In May, a source close to the couple revealed to PEOPLE that they’ve been living separate lives under separate roofs. Although they put a united front at graduations and family gatherings, they embarked on different summer getaways and marked their second wedding anniversary apart in July. 

The source added that despite everything that’s been going on, Lopez is having a “good summer,” spending time with her kids, friends, and family. “She’s been off and able to focus on what’s next. She always has a good attitude even when things are not perfect,” the sources said.
