Twenty years after Wesley Snipes gave Marvel its first box-office hit, the comic book powerhouse is more popular than ever, but the vampire hunter has disappeared into the shadows.

The star and director Peter Berg's 'Mile 22' is their latest collaboration to tackle familiar themes.

The studio focused on presenting the star's character as the toughest, most capable operator around.

This is not the first time the 'Guardians of the Galaxy' actor has taken a swing at his current employer over the situation.

Director Sebastian Gutierrez turned down chances to make his passion project, because he didn't want to turn it into a straight horror film: "the surface story is something that is very familiar so I didn't want to just stay there."

The multiplayer game saw a major boost in revenue when it introduced its Royale Pass in June.

In its first week, the movie has become one of the most successful shark films of all time at the global box office behind Steven Spielberg's 'Jaws' and the animated 'Shark Tale,' not adjusted for inflation.
