Collider - Wesley Snipes

33 Years Later, This Sci-Fi Satire With a Stacked Cast Deserves a Second Look

Nate Williams — Wed, 15 Jul 2026 10:05:12 GMT

Throughout the late 1970s and ‘80s, Sylvester Stallone was an action star who demanded to be taken seriously. In early work from Rocky to Rambo, there was almost this refusal to wink at the audience — a solemnity to whatever battle was unfolding on-screen, whether Stallone’s leading man was fighting for his life in the ring or on the run. But by the 1990s, Stallone's reign as action star had taken on some levity. Call it a product of the time or simply a product of Stallone learning to have a little more fun with his career, but his third decade as a screen legend involves significantly more humor and self-deprecation than what came before.

Adam Blevins — Thu, 25 Jun 2026 23:23:57 GMT

When someone mentions the name Wesley Snipes, one of the first things that comes to mind is Blade. Snipes played the legendary Marvel vampire in a trilogy of films in the late 1990s and early 2000s, and while most thought he would never return to Marvel, he defied expectations in 2024 with the premiere of Deadpool & Wolverine. Despite years' worth of rumors that Snipes had an ongoing dispute with Deadpool actor Ryan Reynolds, the two squashed any beef between them and brought Snipes back into the fold to play the Daywalker one final time before riding off into the sunset. Snipes has starred in plenty of notable action movies and dramas over the years, but one of his projects that you likely haven’t heard of has finally stepped into the spotlight thanks to the biggest streaming service in the world.

It's a tale as old as time. An actor lands a breakout role, becomes an overnight sensation, and suddenly finds themselves at the center of Hollywood. But while getting famous is hard, staying famous is even harder. Not everyone knows how to handle the pressure that comes with stardom. Sometimes it's a string of terrible movie choices that slowly chips away at a career. Other times, it's an actor who forgets that people are paying attention to everything they say and starts creating controversy for absolutely no reason.

Shawn Van Horn — Sun, 03 May 2026 18:11:14 GMT

In 1993, Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jonesteamed up for The Fugitive, one of the year's biggest and best movies.

Brad LaCour — Fri, 28 Nov 2025 01:30:12 GMT

The Marvel Cinematic Universe, or the MCU, is a cinematic juggernaut of a franchise that has produced some of the biggest movies of all time. The MCU movies and television shows are known for overlapping characters in a shared world of alternative timelines, but in the late '90s, the only Marvel movie that enjoyed box office success was the 1998 horror action film Blade, starring Wesley Snipes, who returned for the 2024 movie Deadpool & Wolverine. The popularity of Blade would spawn a trilogy of high-profile films, but the TV spin-off, Blade: The Series, came and went without many being aware of its existence.

Long before superhero cinematic universes became mainstream and crossovers a big part of fans’ expectations, the genre was defined by a handful of films like Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man trilogy and Tim Burton’s Batman movies.

'Tulsa King’s Sylvester Stallone Defends His Divisive '90s Sci-Fi Action Flick

Makuochi Echebiri — Tue, 28 Oct 2025 21:00:12 GMT

Sylvester Stallone has had a spectacular career. A bona fide industry legend, he's one of only two actors in history to have starred in a box-office No. 1 film across six consecutive decades (the other is Harrison Ford, if you're curious). Throughout his career, his film projects have generated over $7.5 billion worldwide. But when asked which of his many explosive movies has aged best, Stallone didn’t point to any of his more famous works; instead, he surprisingly named his 1993 sci-fi flick Demolition Man, describing it as “one of the few films that really hold up.”
