Michael Starrbury says the vampire hunter was never 'the fourth lead' despite reports the character was not the focus of Marvel Studios' Blade reboot.
A writer on Marvel Studios' Blade reboot is taking a wooden stake to rumors that the vampire hunter was to be "the fourth lead" in his first solo film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Variety reported that the twice-delayed reboot — which Marvel producer Kevin Feige announced at San Diego Comic-Con back in 2019 —"at one point morphed into a narrative led by women and filled with life lessons" and relegated Mahershala Ali's Blade to the background.
"I worked on a draft of this before the strike. Never saw a version where Blade was 4th lead or it was a 'narrative led by women and filled with life lessons' but I suppose a lot could have happened since I had anything to do with it. He was in 99% of the scripts I was a part of," Starrbury wrote on X . In a subsequent post, the Emmy-nominated When They See Us writer added:"Whatever is going on with Blade I'm hoping for the best.
