The costumes originally designed for Marvel Studios' halted "Blade" reboot have been repurposed for the vampire thriller "Sinners." Producer Sev Ohanian revealed that costume designer Ruth Carter created a collection of period-appropriate clothing for the "Blade" project, which ultimately did not proceed to filming. Marvel Studios sold these costumes to the production team behind "Sinners," allowing the film to utilize the wardrobe initially intended for the superhero reboot. The "Blade" film was initially planned to be set in the past, which influenced the costume design. This reuse of costumes has given new life to the unused assets from the shelved Marvel project.
