"Over the years, we've had very interesting conversations, some of them very substantive and some of them not," Snipes shared. "So I kind of resided that I was moving on from them, which is okay. I did three of them, and I thought they turned out pretty good. Not so bad... So we move on to other things, and bigger and better things, as well."

However, everything changed after he got the call from Ryan.Snipes said: “I thought it didn't make sense to me, but [when] you get a call from Ryan Reynolds out of the blue after 20 years, you go, 'Okay, I got to take this call. Let's see what this is about'.''
