Marvel's 'BLADE' Enlists "TRUE DETECTIVE" Creator For Writing Duties

Marvel’s ‘BLADE’ is getting some help from the folks at “True Detective.”

THR exclusively reports that the creator of the acclaimed crime series “True Detective,” Nic Pizzolatto, has been enlisted for screenwriting duties.

The outlet says, “Blade currently has a script by Michael Starrbury, who earned an Emmy nomination for penning an episode of Ava DuVernay’s drama, When They See Us. Sources say Pizzolatto is working off Starrbury’s draft and has been keyboarding for a few weeks now.”

Blade actor and Oscar-winner Mahershala Ali previously starred in season three of Pizzolatto’s HBO.

In addition to Ali as the vampiric daywalker, the vampire thriller also stars Delroy Lindo and Mia Goth.

The news comes as production is gearing to start up next month, with “Lovecraft Country” director Yann Demange at the helm.

Blade is set for release on September 6, 2024.
