The Blade franchise has left a lasting mark on the vampire and superhero genres, beginning with Wesley Snipes' portrayal of the half-vampire, half-human hero who battles the undead. As the series evolved, it expanded into both films and TV shows, each contributing to Blade’s legacy as a vampire hunter.
For those looking to dive into the complete Blade experience, here’s a guide on how to watch the movies and TV shows in order, ensuring you catch every thrilling moment in the correct sequence!
How to watch the Blade movies and TV shows in chronological order
- Blade (1998)
- Blade II (2002)
- Blade: Trinity (2004)
- Blade: The Series (2006)
Standalone shows
- Blade (2011 anime)
To watch the Blade movies in chronological order, start with Blade (1998), which introduces the half-vampire, half-human hero as he battles the vampire world.
Follow up with Blade II (2002), where Blade joins forces with vampires to face a greater threat. Conclude with Blade: Trinity (2004), where Blade faces his toughest battle yet against Dracula himself. The last Blade movie also pairs him alongside other vampire hunters such as Ryan Reynolds’ Hannibal King and Jessica Biel’s Abigail Whistler.
David S Goyer, who worked as a screenwriter on all three Blade movies and even directed Blade: Trinity, went on to expand the saga with a live-action TV series. Blade: The Series starred rapper Sticky Fingaz as the titular hero, replacing Snipes in the role. But the series failed to replicate the success of the movies and lasted only for a single season.
In 2011, Blade also received his own anime limited series that followed a different story drawing from the comics instead of the movies.
Is Deadpool & Wolverine connected to the Blade movies?
Wesley Snipes’ version of Blade also made an extended guest appearance in 2024’s Deadpool & Wolverine. The MCU film featured characters from many pre-MCU Marvel films, including Blade. While this appearance is hardly connected to the original Blade trilogy, the action comedy makes for an interesting watch for fans of the original movies.
