I quite enjoyed the 1987 film although it veered away from the source material quite dramatically. Arnie was not some 'everyman' and the film has aged. Paul Michael Glaser was the third director attached to the film after the first two, Andrew Davis and Ferdinand Fairfax, left the film after wanting to make changes to the screenplay that the producers didn't want. I hope this version comes across more accurately.

I have no problem with Snipes carrying on with the role although he's sixty something now. However with the multiverse part of the MCU I don't see why we can't have both of them in the same film and then hand over to Ali in a sequel. In some ways it would make sense and appease both camps, making a handover of the character much more fluid than a simple hard reboot. As for Snipes trouble in the past, who cares? RDJ showed it can be done when he was given the chance so why not give Snipes the same opportunity.
