More Info

Before Black Panther, there was Blade!

Travel back to 1998 as the Dark Hedges Film Festival screens Stephen Norrington’s Blade as part of Black History Month.

The film stars Wesley Snipes as the aforementioned Blade, a half-vampire, half-mortal man determined to protect the human race from a group of blood-sucking vampires led by Stephen Dorff’s Deacon Frost.

Blade was the first film to feature a black superhero and as such was a trailblazing achievement back in 1998, laying the foundations for the Marvel Cinematic Universe as we know it today.
