10 Directors And The Superhero Films They Should Make

9. Jordan Peele - Blade

Edgar Wright The Flash
Marvel Studios

The films Jordan Peele has directed share two key elements: horror and African-American protagonists. With this in mind, there is no comic book character more suited to Peele's directing talents than Blade.

Get Out and Us evidenced Peele's skill at bringing a unique flavour to horror and combined with his experience in comedy, his direction would befit Blade beautifully.

The announcement of MCU Blade's existence was more to build excitement than anything substantial, the project seemingly only having Mahershala Ali attached to play the character and the usual Marvel team to produce, meaning that the opportunity for Peele to step into the film's directing chair is still very much open - it would be a massive shame were Marvel to close it.
