Hollywood’s creative battlefield has a new rallying cry as fans, electrified by Ryan Coogler’s latest masterpiece Sinners
, demand Marvel hand over their perpetually stalled vampire saga. The Black Panther
maestro has once again proven his storytelling sorcery, sending audiences into frenzies of praise while simultaneously igniting whispers about Mahershala Ali’s dormant antihero project. Industry insiders watch in fascination as social media campaigns blossom, all begging one question: could Coogler’s blood-soaked vision finally resurrect the daywalker from development purgatory?
Ryan Coogler’s cinematic alchemy, transforming complex emotional narratives into box office gold, makes him the vampire hunter’s perfect champion. His $90 million horror venture Sinners
demonstrates an audacious commitment to original storytelling that dwarfs even Jordan Peele’s acclaimed works. This financial fearlessness, coupled with Wakanda’s cultural revolution, has fans convinced: Blade’s
midnight world requires Coogler’s unflinching lens
to properly sink its teeth into modern audiences, especially as Marvel’s own attempts continue gathering cobwebs in creative limbo.
If ‘Sinners’ does well, Marvel should just give ‘Blade’ to Coogler for him to finish.
A vampire movie shouldn’t be complicated or convoluted.

The Oakland-born visionary stands as Hollywood’s newest power broker, having negotiated a deal that would make even Tony Stark’s business team blush. Warner Bros. did not just secure Sinners
, they surrendered to Ryan Coogler’s revolutionary demands: full ownership rights reverting after 25 years, first-dollar gross points, and that holiest of Hollywood grails, final cut privilege.
This was not mere contract haggling but a deeply personal crusade rooted in Black ownership principles, his family legacy whispering in every clause.

While Warner Bros. handed Ryan Coogler the keys to his creative kingdom, Marvel fans sharpen their pitchforks, demanding the same freedom be granted to Blade,
under his command.
Fans want Ryan Coogler on Blade, one way or another
While contractual labyrinths and Black Panther 3
commitments seemingly block Ryan Coogler’s path to Blade
, fans propose creative workarounds faster than Nick Fury assembles superheroes.
Executive producer responsibilities could maintain his creative imprint without demanding daily set presence. Meanwhile, Sinners
production details further cement his vampire-worthy credentials; principal photography unfolded in New Orleans under the deliciously cryptic codename “Grilled Cheese
,” utilizing IMAX 70mm cameras with shifting aspect ratios that promise visual feasts when it debuts on 18th April 2025.
Sinners is the script he wrote for Blade

Should’ve been his project regardless if we being honest!

Let Coogler make a new foundation for BLADE. Scrap whatever scripts they had before.
Then give him Midnight Sons and other dark CBm tales. He’ll do them right.

While some were fully in favor of giving him the project, others argued he might not be the right choice.
Coogler doesn’t appear to handle action well so he probably shouldn’t do it.
And the rumor is that Chad Stahelski (John Wick) offered to do it already but Feige possibly rejected it because he doesn’t want a Blade movie or a well done one either.

No. Let Coogler and his team cook with a potential Sinners universe and other original projects.
One of my industry ppls on here told me that the 1920s Blade had sets built, it was canceled. Weeks after that Sinners was announced. Not a coincidence 😂

The battle cry grows louder: Blade
deserves liberation from Disney’s family-friendly filters and Marvel’s increasingly formulaic approach. Ryan Coogler’s
success
demonstrates his mastery of mature, atmospheric storytelling, precisely the tonal bloodline Blade
requires.
As social media campaigns intensify and fan petitions multiply, the message crystallizes into something even Kevin Feige cannot ignore: in Coogler’s hands, the daywalker would not just return, he would evolve into something gloriously, dangerously new.
What do you think, should Ryan Coogler sink his teeth into Blade
? Let us know in the comments below.
