Original Blade screenwriter David S. Goyer weighs in on the multiple delays and rewrites Marvel’s Blade has been through since the MCU movie was announced.

Speaking to ScreenRant‘s Liam Crowley at the Murderbot world premiere, David S. Goyer reveals he’s just as puzzled about Blade‘s delays as Marvel fans. Goyer wonders “What in the world is going on?” and jokes Marvel should give him a call to push the project forward. Created by Chris and Paul Weitz as a live-action adaptation of Martha Wells’ The Murderbot Diaries and executive-produced by David S. Goyer, Murderbot premieres on Apple TV+ on May 16. Read Goyer’s full response below:

Liam Crowley: “You cracked the code earlier in your career because you wrote all three Blade movies, and they successfully made it to screen. What does Marvel Studios need to do?”

David S. Goyer: “Give me a call.”

Liam: “Would you write it?”

David S. Goyer: “I would. I’ve always loved the character and I love him, and I’ve been sitting on the sideline wondering, ‘What in the world is going on? Why is it taking so long?’ Because I’m a huge Marvel fan myself, and I’ve just been totally puzzled.”
