Scrapped 'Blade' Helped Dress 'Sinners'
HOLLYWOOD, JUL 4 – Costumes from Marvel's delayed Blade reboot were repurposed for the horror film Sinners, which grossed $364 million and ranks as 2025's eighth highest-grossing film, producers said.
- Marvel removed the Blade film from its 2025 release schedule last year after production halted amid delays and creative issues.
- Production stopped primarily due to the 2023 writers' strike and the departure of directors, while multiple script rewrites complicated progress.
- Sinners, a vampire thriller released on April 18, 2025, used costumes originally made for the unshot Blade movie thanks to shared costumer Ruth Carter.
- Sinners earned $364 million worldwide, ranking among the top box office hits of 2025 and offering audiences a subtle glimpse of Marvel’s upcoming Blade reboot through its use of costumes.
- Mahershala Ali remains committed to playing Blade, and Marvel's Kevin Feige affirmed ongoing efforts to find the right approach and reintegrate the character.
