Original BLADE Trilogy Writer Wants Marvel to Let Him Write the Long Delayed Reboot

The article reports that David S. Goyer, the screenwriter behind the original Blade trilogy (starring Wesley Snipes), has expressed interest in contributing to Marvel Studios' upcoming Blade reboot.

In an interview, Goyer stated he'd be "honored" to be involved and feels he "cracked the code" for the character with his original films, which were crucial in paving the way for modern superhero movies. While he's not actively campaigning for a role and acknowledges Marvel has its own process (and he is busy himself), he's open to the idea if they were to approach him.

The article also notes the current Blade reboot, set to star Mahershala Ali, has faced production challenges, including a change in director (now Yann Demange) and writer (currently Michael Starrbury, after several others). At the time of the article's publication (March 2023), production was reportedly halted due to the WGA strike. Goyer's comments come amidst this ongoing development of the highly anticipated film.
