In the Void, there's much discussion about superhero variants, at which point Wesley Snipes' Blade pipes up that "there's only one Blade."
This prompts Deadpool to hilariously stare awkwardly into the camera lens, obviously nodding to the audience that a rebooted MCU version of Blade, played by Mahershala Ali, is nevertheless on the way.
Yet the joke perhaps has an added unintentional layer to it given that the MCU Blade movie has stalled in development for years at this point.
After all, who among us expected to see Wesley Snipes' Blade in the MCU before we actually saw Ali's new version on-screen? Madness.
