David Goyer on Marvel Turning Down His ‘Blade’ Reboot Offer, Why ‘The Sandman’ Is Ending and Those Neil Gaiman Allegations: He ‘Wasn’t as Involved in Season 2’


David Goyer will help make the new "Blade" movie -- Disney and Marvel just have to let him.

Goyer doesn’t know “the behind the scenes of it” as to what’s delaying this iteration of “Blade,” but says he “might consider” writing the script if Marvel ever does call, even though he’s largely out of the superhero game these days. And obviously we love the books, but one of the concerns about some of the story arcs is that Dream isn’t in them very much,” Goyer said, referring to the main character, the titular sandman played by Tom Sturridge. Just as Goyer’s time with superheroes is mostly done, he’s also looking to move away from sci-fi — though he’s still got a remake of “The Blob” in the works with director David Bruckner at Warner Brothers, which he thinks “will be greenlit” this year.
