Marvel’s ‘Blade’ Has Found Its Writer!

Stacey Osei-Kuffour‘s name should sound familiar, she’s the writer of HBO’s “Watchmen” series and she has just signed on to pen the script for Marvel’s new Blade movie and will hold the title of the first black female scribe to write a Marvel movie, THR reports. The film was first announced at 2019’s Comic-Con and been searching for a writer since. Oscar-winner Mahershala Ali (Green Book) is set to star as the “daywalker” Blade, who was originally played by Wesley Snipes. The character made its first appearance in 1973’s comic Tomb of Dracula No. 10 and has since become a cult favorite. Blade was born part vampire after his pregnant mother bitten by a vampire while he was still in the womb. Besides writing for “Watchmen,” Oslei-Kuffour earned Emmy nominations for her work on Hulu’s comedy series “Pen15.” She also served as part of the writing team for Amazon’s hit Nazi-hunting series “Hunters” that stars Al Pacino.

‘Blade’ Announcement Coming Soon From Marvel

Back in 2019, it was announced at San Diego Comic-Con that Marvel planned to sink its fangs into a new Blade movie as part of MCU with Oscar-winning actor Mahershala Ali (pictured) as the title character, taking the role over for franchise star Wesley Snipes. The last we heard anything was back in October when it was revealed that the hunt was on for a writer for the project. But it’s been radio silence since, until now. At Disney’s recent Investor Day, Marvel’s Kevin Feige teased that we should be getting an announcement “very soon,” and that the project is finally coming together. . “As we announced at Comic-Con last year, we’re moving ahead with Blade, starring Academy Award winner Mahershala Ali,” Feige said during the presentation. He continued, “The development and storylines are coming together, and we’ll have announcements very, very soon.” We’ll update you as soon as the aforementioned announcement is made.

Mahershala Ali Sinks His Teeth Into The New ‘Blade’ Movie

Following a flood of entertainment news from SDCC, news came that two-time Oscar winner and “True Detective” star Mahershala Ali is gearing up to hunt down vampires in Marvel’s new Blade movie! During the Marvel panel at San Diego Comic-Con last night Ali appeared and revealed the news that he is will be starring as the badass day-walker Blade, the character made iconic by Wesley Snipes. There are no other details available yet, but we assume that the movie will be out in late 2020 or early 2021. We’ll keep you posted. Personally, I think it’s a good fit, especially if Ali beefs up. He’s an incredible actor (he’s got two Oscars for God’s sake). He was fantastic in “True Detective” and in “Luke Cage”, in which he plays the villain Cornell “Cottonmouth” Stokes. If you haven’t seen either series, I strongly recommend that you do so. You will find “True Detective” on Prime and “Luke Cage” on Netflix.
