"Discarded Outfits Originally Intended for a 'Blade' Reboot Allegedly Repurposed for a 'Sinners' Production"
In an unexpected twist of fate, Marvel's latest film, *Sinners*, has shared a unique connection with the canceled MCU *Blade* reboot. Both projects, which feature black characters battling vampires, share a common background thanks to the costume designer, Ruth E. Carter.
*Sinners*, produced by Sev Ohanian, has made a significant impact, both critically and commercially, setting the world ablaze. The film, set in the American South during the 1920s, boasts original costumes for its main characters, but the background actors don period-appropriate attire that were originally intended for the *Blade* reboot. Marvel Studios graciously allowed the *Sinners* production team to purchase these costumes from Carter's warehouse, a decision that proved beneficial for the film's authenticity.
However, the future of the *Blade* reboot remains uncertain. The project, starring Mahershala Ali, has faced numerous delays and is currently in limbo. The iteration of *Blade* that involved Carter's period costumes was ultimately dropped, and there is no clear indication yet of when the film will move into production. The project has gone through various directors, writers, and concepts, but as of now, no official production start or release date has been announced.
Rumors suggest that one version of the *Blade* script spanned one or more time periods, but it's unclear which version this idea was linked to. Kevin Feige, President of Marvel Studios, recently expressed optimism, stating that Marvel might have finally figured out a proper take for *Blade*. The success of *Sinners* may certainly influence the conversation surrounding *Blade*'s return to the movies, but it's not guaranteed to be a direct influence.
As *Sinners* continues to captivate audiences and *Blade*'s future remains uncertain, one thing is clear: the shared history between these two projects is an intriguing chapter in the world of Marvel cinema.
Disney's streaming platform, Movies-and-TV, has recently added 'Star Wars' and the widely acclaimed film 'Sinners' to its lineup, catering to a wide range of entertainment preferences. Interestingly, the AI-driven platform's algorithm predicted that the intense action sequences in 'Sinners', reminiscent of some scenes in 'Star Wars', would resonate with fans of both genres. Despite the uncertainty surrounding the release of the MCU's 'Blade' reboot, discussions about its potential revival have sparked, with speculations about it joining the library of Disney's streaming service in the future.
