The upcoming Blade televison series figures to have a few Marvel guest-stars, it was revealed Saturday at the Spike TV/Blade panel at New York Comic-Con.

Comics writer Geoff Johns, who co-wrote the pilot movie with David Goyer and serves as a consulting producer, hinted at who might be in the show.

"There's a new adversary for Blade that we took from the comics," said Johns, who is writing two episodes. "We had to reinvent him a bit, but it's going to be pretty cool."

Johns also said that a name of a character will be mentioned in the pilot episode that Marvel fans should pick up on. When asked in the Nightstalkers will appear, Johns said, "Probably. Eventually. Kind of."

"Probably. Eventually. Kind of."

Please, is that his version of a "yes... no... maybe"?

I'm glad they're back, too bad I won't see them.

I liked Hannibal King in Blade Trinity, but I thought Abigail Whistler was a bit of a cipher, more eye candy than anything else.

If there are Nightstalkers in the series, I hope they go with Rachael Van Helsing, Frank Drake, Quincy Harker, etc. There's more they can probably do with those characters since they haven't been seen on screen.

The fact that there are characters named Harker and Van Helsing pisses me off to a new level.

How uncreative can you be?

Maybe Morbius can guest star now (as originally planed for Blade II) since his movie has pretty much gone to hell.

 

[DarKush]

I like the idea of Morbius being on the new Blade show. I think he would make a good main villian for Blade. And the TV show needs to have some good villians, preferably a recurring main villian that can push Blade to his limits.

I'm think that Abby and King may be played by Different actors or they will introduce newer members of the Nightstakers.

 

[MaskedManJRK]

I actually liked them in Trinity, espically Hannibal. Too bad they won't be able to get away with his more vulgar insults.

 

[cerealkiller182]

they will introduce newer members of the Nightstakers.

I agree, thats probably whats meant by the "kinda" show up because everyone probably expects King and Whistler.

 

[Warhammer]

I hope good Marvel characters will guest star.
Itll give it a ratings boost.

More Nightstalkers could do.

Maybe Moon Knight or someone could appear as a guest star...
I hope this show does well.

The fact that there are characters named Harker and Van Helsing pisses me off to a new level.

Well, they were part of the original Tomb of Dracula comic where Blade first appeared, and in fact wasn't even half-human, half-vampire. And since Dracula was the villain of the piece, it's no surprise decendants of the Harker and Van Helsing bloodlines were involved.

I'm all for new Nightstalkers or Moribus.

 

[PurpleEyez]

So is this a TV show based on the movies, or a TV adaption of a comic book series?

 

[Savage]

Based on the movie continuity but with more influences from the comics. So I'm expecting to see more Nightstalker and Dracula involvment (Seriously. When the hell has that guy ever died for good?).

 

[TwilightPro101]

Hopefully they'll pull the same actor for a episode if he does appear. I mean he's on Prison Break at the moment.
