Stacy Osei-Kuffour, a playwright who served as story editor and writer on HBO’s Watchmen limited series, will write the script for Marvel’s upcoming Blade film. She will be the first black woman to write a Marvel movie.

On Watchmen, Osei-Kuffour wrote the episode, “An Almost Religious Awe” in which Angela is treated by Lady Trieu after her Nostalgia-fueled trip through her grandfather’s memories. In 2019 she was nominated for an Emmy for the comedy series Pen15. She has also served as story editor on Hunters and executive producer for the series Run.

Oscar-winner Mahershala Ali (Green Book) is set to star in the film as Blade, the human-vampire hybrid who fights to end vampire kind. The character was created by Marv Wolfman and Gene Colan, who introduced him in Tomb of Dracula #10 in 1973.

Ali is not new to comic adaptations, having played Cottonmouth in Netflix’s Luke Cage and he voiced Prowler for Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.

Little is known about the Blade movie at this point. It is not part of the MCU’s Phase 4, so it’ll likely be a few years before the movie is released.
