In a surprising behind-the-scenes reveal, several costumes originally made for Marvel Studios’ delayed Blade reboot are being reused in the upcoming supernatural thriller SINNERS.
According to sources close to the production, Marvel sold off a collection of unused wardrobe pieces from Blade after the film was put on pause. The SINNERS team saw a golden opportunity — and brought those unused designs straight into their world.
From Marvel’s Vampire Hunter to the World of SINNERS
If you’ve seen early photos or footage from SINNERS, you might’ve noticed something familiar. Background characters are wearing dark leather, tactical gear, and gothic-inspired outfits — all of which closely resemble the signature style intended for Blade. That’s because they were literally made for it.
These high-quality costumes were originally crafted for Marvel’s vampire-hunting epic before it was delayed due to ongoing script rewrites and director changes. Instead of letting the outfits collect dust, Marvel sold them to a production that could use them — and SINNERS was a perfect fit.
A Smart, Stylish Move
For Marvel, it was a practical choice — offload unused assets from a project still in limbo. For SINNERS, it was a creative win. Why start from scratch when you can reuse incredible costume work from one of the most visually rich Marvel properties?
The styles blend seamlessly into SINNERS’ eerie, shadowy world — a story full of mystery, dark forces, and supernatural intrigue. It’s a great example of how resourceful filmmaking can elevate a project without compromising on quality.
A Fun Surprise for Fans
For fans of Marvel and movie trivia, this crossover is an unexpected treat. While SINNERS and Blade have nothing in common narratively, they now share a visual thread — and eagle-eyed viewers will be looking for those familiar designs when SINNERS hits theaters.
This clever reuse shows that in Hollywood, even costumes from paused projects can find a second chance — and sometimes, a brand new spotlight.
