SinceMichael Giacchinointroduced the world of werewolves into Marvel Cinematic Universe, he was a very apparent choice to take on the role of the director for MCU’sBlade,especially since the team is in dire need of a new director, as soon as possible, following Bassam Tariq’s exist.
During his appearance on thePhase Zeropodcast, the composer deflated any rumors flying around about the possibility of him joining theBladeteam as a director. His extremely busy schedule was one of the primary reasons he would not be getting on board theBladewagon.
“I mean, look, I love Blade. I think that’s an amazing, amazing character. It’s one of my favorites. But I feel like that thing is already in motion in a way that is like, and I’m in motion on other things as well, and there’s just– It’s a whole… you know. It’s just, timing-wise, it’s a little crazy. So I feel like, you know… I want that to be a great movie. I want that to be an awesome movie, because that character deserves it in a huge way. But yeah, right now, I mean, no.”
