Reginald VelJohnson’s remarks at the Die Hard anniversary screening (via /Film) underscore the fact that the classic film represents yet another near-miss for Wesley Snipes in the action genre.
Now it looks like we can add Die Hard to the list of classic movies that he almost appeared in throughout his career.
Over the course of his career, Snipes went out for a few roles that never came to fruition.
Al Powell in Die Hard is one example, but there was also a chance for him to play T’Challa in John Singleton’s potential Black Panther movie back in the 1990s — a version of the Marvel story far different from the Marvel Cinematic Universe take on Black Panther that we got this year.
