'Sinners' makers purchased costumes originally made for 'Blade' reboot
Michael B Jordan's 'Sinners' gave audiences a sneak peek at Marvel's "Blade" reboot without the audience knowing. The producers of the movie revealed the costumes originally set for the 'Blade' reboot were repurposed for 'Sinners' after the production of the former movie hit a roadblock, reported Variety.
During a recent interview with ScreenCrush, 'Sinners' producers Sev Ohanian shared that they bought the costumes from Marvel, which were originally intended for the reboot of 'Blade'.
"[Costume designer] Ruth Carter was working on the Blade movie that ended up not shooting. At one point, that movie was going to deal with, and she's talked about this before, but at one point, that film was going to deal with the past around the same era as 'Sinners.'
She happened to have a warehouse full of period-appropriate clothes, and it was like, 'Yo, we got to shoot this movie like tomorrow.' And Marvel was generous enough and kind enough to let us basically purchase it at price," said Sev Ohanian as quoted by Variety.
Ohanian added that "a lot of the background actors" wore the clothes intended for "Blade" while the stars had original costumes, reported Variety.
'Sinners,' which debuted on April 18, is one of the major box office phenomena of 2025.
An entirely original horror film went on to gross a staggering 364 million USD worldwide.
It is currently the eighth highest-grossing film of 2025 and the only title in the top 10 not based on preexisting IP, according to Variety.
As for Marvel's 'Blade', it was first announced in 2019 and has been in production limbo ever since. However, the film's star, Mahershala Ali, recently told Variety that he remains ready to step into the role of the daywalking vampire hunter.

Dakota Johnson to make directorial debut with feature film starring Vanessa Burghardt, calls it deeply personal
Actor and producer Dakota Johnson has revealed new details about her feature directorial debut, calling the project 'very close to her heart.' Speaking with Variety at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival, Johnson shared that the film will be a collaboration with her 'Cha Cha Real Smooth' co-star Vanessa Burghardt, whom she described as 'an incredible autistic actress.' Johnson admitted that stepping behind the camera for the first time was not a decision she took lightly. 'I've always felt that I'm not ready to direct a feature,' she said. 'I don't have the confidence, but, with her, I feel very protective and I know her very well. I can see this world, so I just won't let anybody else do it. That's the real answer.' Her passion for the project is deeply tied to her creative relationship with Burghardt, highlighting Johnson's growing focus on authenticity, representation, and collaborative storytelling. Beyond her directorial ambitions, Johnson also reflected on the importance of fostering healthy working environments in the film industry. When asked what makes a film set 'toxic,' the 'Fifty Shades' actor pointed to a lack of kindness and collaboration. 'I don't want to face anybody who's mean or condescending or unkind,' she said. 'And then there are obvious things. We all know what a toxic set is by now. We're artists, so there's room for expansive personalities, and we're working with emotions. I love a healthy argument on a set, and I also believe that the most excellent idea wins. It's not a fight. It's not a race. It's a collaboration.' Johnson, who has increasingly taken on production responsibilities in recent years, said she has become more empowered to shape her own projects. 'I think now, just being in the position of being a producer and developing my own films, I can choose all the people who are in it, and that makes a huge difference,' she added. As anticipation grows around her directorial debut, Johnson's emphasis on inclusion, emotional intelligence, and creative partnership signals a strong and thoughtful approach to her next chapter as a filmmaker.
