“Blade”: Marvel already has a director in sight to replace Bassam Tariq

After director Bassam Tariq dropped out of directing “Blade,” the Marvel Studios reboot had to delay filming – which was supposed to start this year.

Now The Cosmic Circus says the studio is in talks with Elegance Bratton to resume production.

A rookie, Elegance has on his resume as a director only the unreleased drama “The Inspection,” which will premiere in the United States on November 18.

A24’s “The Inspection” tells director Elegance Bratton’s own inspiring and deeply moving story, a young gay black man, rejected by his mother and with few options for his future, decides to join the Marines, doing whatever it takes to succeed in a system that would set it aside.

The premiere of ‘Blade’ has been postponed from November 3, 2023 to September 6, 2024.

Previously, The Direct revealed that the script would be rewritten from scratch as it did not satisfy actor Mahershala Ali, who found the text “lifeless” and the action scenes completely “dull”.

Beau DeMayo — who wrote “Moon Knight” — has been hired to rewrite the screenplay for Stacy Osei-Kuffour (“Watchmen”).

The original script would show Blade’s origin in the 1920s and have several time jumps to the present day.

“As a half-human/half-vampire, Eric Brooks (Ali) has honed his skills in hunting down the undead who have long terrorized mankind. A human-vampire hybrid since his tragic birth, Blade has spent a lot of time trying to rid the world of vampires like the one who killed his mother.Over the years, he’s mastered his own unique style of battling monsters of all kinds.

Milan Ray, Aaron Pierre and Delroy Lindo are also part of the cast.

The reboot is titled “Blade: The Vampire Hunter” and makes direct reference to the first anti-hero comics, created in 1973 by screenwriter Marv Wolfman and illustrator Gene Colan.
