It was produced by Goyer, Peter Frankfurt, [[Lynn Harris]], and [[Wesley Snipes]], who also starred in the leading role as the [[Blade (New Line franchise character)|title character]]. Based on the [[Marvel Comics]] [[Character (arts)|character]] [[Blade (character)|of the same name]], it is a sequel to ''[[Blade II]]'' (2002) and the third installment in the [[Blade (franchise)|''Blade'' franchise]].

''Blade: Trinity'' was released in the United States on December 8, 2004. The film grossed $132 million at the box office worldwide on a budget of $65 million and received mostly negative reviews from critics for its formulaic themes, directing, and acting; it is the worst-reviewed film in the trilogy. The film was followed by a television series, ''[[Blade: The Series]]'', in 2006, with [[Sticky Fingaz]] replacing Snipes. Marvel regained the film rights to the character in 2012.
