A man born with every strength a vampire has and none of the weaknesses, who has spent his life hunting them for it.

This catalogue carries two. This one is the New Line trilogy, in its own continuity. The other is the one Mahershala Ali voices from off screen in Eternals. When David Goyer first pitched the film, the head of New Line suggested Denzel Washington, Wesley Snipes or Laurence Fishburne. Goyer wanted Snipes from the start.
