Blade is a film franchise based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name, starring Wesley Snipes as Blade, the half-human/half-vampire who is possessed with the same powers as his bloodsucking brethren, but without the weaknesses that can destroy them. Acting as a modern day Van Helsing, Blade sets out to foil plans by a legion of the undead to wipe out mankind.
Watch the Blade movies in release order, starting with Blade (1998) and continuing through Blade: Trinity (2004). The series spans 3 films, released between 1998 and 2004. Audiences rate the franchise 6.4/10 on average.
For most viewers, release order is the recommended way to watch Blade. This is how the story was crafted and revealed to audiences — earlier films seed details, callbacks, and twists that pay off in later entries. Watching in release order preserves those reveals and matches the pacing the filmmakers intended.
Blade largely tracks its own in-universe chronology, so release order and chronological order overlap closely. You can use either without losing much, though release order is still the safest first watch.
