SINNERS Used Costumes From Marvel Studios’ Perpetually Delayed BLADE

by

Regrettably, it appears that the production of the Marvel Studios‘ version of Blade has encountered another hurdle. Even star Mahershala Ali seems uncertain about the situation, but elements from the film have already been shown this year. If you watched Ryan Coogler’s horror sensation Sinners, then you caught a glimpse of costumes initially designed for Blade before its termination. In an interview with ScreenCrush, via Variety, Sinners producer Sev Ohanian disclosed that Marvel Studios sold the costumes originally intended for Blade to Warner Bros. for use in Sinners. Here’s what he had to share regarding this topic:

In simpler terms, Ruth Carter had been preparing for the “Blade” film that ultimately didn’t get made. At one point, this movie was intended to explore a period similar to the era portrayed in “Sinners,” a fact she has discussed previously. Notably, she had a stockpile of clothes suitable for that time period, and suddenly, there was a rush to produce the film as Marvel graciously allowed them to acquire it at an affordable price.

The costumes were primarily donned by background actors, including scenes set in the town and the twins’ jazz club. However, Michael B. Jordan and the principal cast had their costumes tailored exclusively for them. It’s heartening to see that Ruth Carter’s diligent efforts paid off, as the costumes functioned exceptionally well in the movie “Sinners.

It’s been rumored that the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) version of Blade might deviate from its original 1930s setting. Instead, we’re crossing our fingers for a ’70s backdrop, as this was when the character originally made his debut in Marvel Comics. Until the MCU adaptation materializes, fans can catch a glimpse of the Blade development by watching Ryan Coogler’s acclaimed modern horror production.
