Blade: Marvel Taps Bassam Tariq To Direct MCU Reboot Starring Mahershala Ali

Marvel has found its Blade director. After first tapping Oscar-winning actor Mahershala Ali to star in the highly anticipated vampire movie back in 2019, Deadline reports that Marvel has hired Bassam Tariq to helm the film. As previously announced, Stacy Osei-Kuffour is writing the script for the film, and Deadline notes that originally Marvel considered hiring a writer-director for Blade before deciding to split those duties.

Intent on hiring a person of color for Blade, Marvel met with various directors over the last few months, and Tariq won the job after giving his presentation for his vision of what a Blade movie should be. Tariq is an up-and-coming filmmaker who has only helmed two films to date, the 2013 documentary These Birds Walk and the 2020 drama Mogul Mowgli starring Riz Ahmed.
