No, "Blade: Trinity" is not part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Released in 2004, it is the third film in the original "Blade" trilogy, which is based on the Marvel Comics character Blade. The film was produced by New Line Cinema, which did not have any ties to the MCU at that time. The MCU officially began with "Iron Man" in 2008. However, with the character of Blade being revived for future MCU projects, there is a potential for crossover, but "Blade: Trinity" itself remains separate from the MCU continuity.

In "Blade: Trinity," Ryan Reynolds plays the character Hannibal King, a wisecracking vampire hunter and member of the Nightstalkers, a group that aids Blade in his fight against vampires. King is known for his humor and charm, providing comic relief while also showcasing his combat skills. His character is pivotal in the film as he helps Blade confront the powerful vampire Dracula, played by Dominic Purcell. King’s dynamic with Blade adds depth to the story and contributes to the film's action-packed and entertaining tone.
Why didn't Wesley Snipes like Blade: Trinity?
Wesley Snipes had several grievances with "Blade: Trinity," primarily due to creative differences with the film's director, David Goyer. Snipes felt that the script did not do justice to the character of Blade and that Goyer's direction was lacking. Additionally, Snipes reportedly clashed with other cast members and had difficulties during filming, which contributed to a tense atmosphere on set. He also expressed dissatisfaction with the film's focus on introducing new characters, like Ryan Reynolds' Hannibal King, at the expense of Blade's storyline.
Is Blade: Trinity the last Blade movie?
Yes, "Blade: Trinity," released in 2004, is the last film in the original Blade trilogy, which starred Wesley Snipes as the titular character.
