Will Marvel’s ‘Blade’ or ‘Ghost Rider’ Return?
It’s sort of a shame to see the Blade franchise whimper away like it did. It’s even more of a disappointment that both Ghost Rider films were terrible. Marvel hopes to bring both characters back in the near future; could the success of their newly minted franchises help them get it right? I’d think so…
In a massive article in EW, Marvel chief Kevin Feige stated that both Blade and Ghost Rider could eventually return to action.
“Whenever a character comes back to us, it’s usually because because the other studios don’t want to make the movies anymore — and that usually means the [previous] movies have not been well-received,” Feige tells the magazine. “They all have potential, but we’re not going to say, ‘We got it back — make it!’”
Which character would you prefer to see back first? I’m going to guess Blade? Holy crap the first two movies are still amazing…
Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) is staying busy here in 2024, directing not only the werewolf movie Big Bad but also an upcoming thriller titled Drop.
The project for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes is being described as a “fast-paced thriller,” and Deadline reports today that Violett Beane (Truth or Dare) has joined the cast.
Newcomer Jacob Robinson has also signed on to star in the mysterious thriller. Previously announced, Meghann Fahy (“White Lotus”) will be leading the cast.
Landon recently teased on Twitter, “This is my love letter to DePalma.”
Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach wrote the script.
Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller and Cameron Fuller — “who brought the script in to Platinum Dunes” — are producing the upcoming Drop. Sam Lerner is an executive producer.
THR notes, “The film is a Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse production for Universal.”
