What the fuck did Wesley Snipes do to piss certain people off?

Was it the tax shit? The guy starred in the first Marvel movie ever, he's black, and I doubt he's that preoccupied with other projects. Every fucking movie is capeshit member berries, why or how is Wesley not getting in on the cash grab? Is he secretly based? I know very little of him personally, but I've always been curious. It's odd how he was helming one of Marvel's biggest franchises (relatively speaking) and then doing straight to DVD bullshit in between. I think Expendables 3 was his last high profile movie, and that was a gimme. So it doesn't seem as if he's above a cash grab, especially considering all the shit movies he's been in. It makes me think there's more to the story and that maybe he said or did something that someone or a group of people didn't like who blackballed him from the industry.

I don't know either. Last thing I saw him in was that Dolemite movie and he was great in that, so it's not like he's a bad actor or a hermit or something.

I guess it really is the tax rap and that shit tainted him somehow, which, given how many actors got away with literal murder, would still be fucking retarded. Then again, Hollyjews move in mysterious ways and are always trying to keep a nigga down.

Eh the tax stuff caused him to do anything for money so that diluted his brand so he wasn't seen as a mainstream star as much anymore. Like nic cage. Wesley is in amazing shape though. And his responses to trolls online are funny

That makes sense but NicH Cage has always been a guy that did whatever job was offered him and he still gets roles for serious indie projects, it's not like he's reduced to only doing direct-to-dvd Steven Seagal shit.

Snipes clearly has more range than Cage and isn't as much of a polarising meme actor, so I'm surprised more small studios haven't snapped him up for a few pennies. All the shit he's done recently is mindless action, movies catered to the """urban market""", or both.

I think he's a secret crackhead. Did you guys ever hear he was supposed to have some mma fight with Tiny Joe Rogan at one point and he backed out?

Also, all the nigger comments here got my ribs so fucking hard.

It’s a weird one, the tax thing is big which I guess makes him seem like a liability but he was slipping into direct to video movies before he got in trouble. I know Stallone with the first expendables wanted him for the Terry Crews part and even tried to make a deal with the courts that his salary for the movie would go to his tax bill so he could do the movie without jail time.

Nic Cage does every project that’s offered to him because he went bankrupt years ago because he bought a ton of crazy shit (I believe something like 50 classic cars and a couple castles) because his “accountant messed up” and told him he had more than he actually did so he just says yes to everything no matter how shitty.

Some actors just become “liabilities” for whatever reason (Mickey Rourke, Tom Sizemore, etc) and some just fall out box office success. John Travolta is doing direct to video stuff, Bruce Willis, John Cusack, Cuba Gooding Jr, etc.

I think Blade only got made because it was one of the few superheroes besides Batman you could do movies about at that time. He wore 'normal' clothes and didn't require a ton of special effects. Then Hollywood figured out how to make superpowers and comic book costumes look a bit less silly visually (though it's still childish and embarrassing conceptually), and people forgot the franchise.
