Overview

  • Sinners secured background wardrobes originally created for the stalled Blade reboot after Marvel agreed to sell the unused costumes at cost.
  • Oscar-winning designer Ruth E. Carter repurposed her 1920s-era Blade collection to meet Sinners’ urgent production needs.
  • Ryan Coogler’s period horror film has earned $364 million worldwide, making it the only original title in 2025’s top 10 box office.
  • Marvel’s Blade reboot has been in development limbo since its 2019 announcement and has no release date despite Mahershala Ali’s public readiness for the role.
  • The costume deal underscores Marvel’s resource sharing practices and contrasts the franchise’s delays with the independent hit’s swift production.
