James Wan Once Pitched A Blade Reboot To Marvel

In an interview with the Happy Sad Confused podcast (via Slash Film), director James Wan revealed that he once pitched a Blade reboot to a “particular studio”, but he couldn’t remember what his idea was.

He said: “Years back, a couple of years back, I think it was right after Conjuring 1 that I went into a particular studio and told them ‘Hey, I’m a big fan of Blade. Would you guys be interested in rebooting Blade?’ So that was one. Obviously, nothing came out of that! But that was my first intro into looking at potential comic book properties. It was just to kind of talk about it. I didn’t have a full presentation. I did have an idea, I can’t quite remember what it was. That’s how far back it was and I’ve done a lot since then so I can’t quite remember what I had thought of. But I did like it at the time.“
