The creature feature The Blob is set to return with a 21st century remake, with the new version to have a very modernized take on the monster. Speaking to ComicBook for the upcoming second season of Netflix’s The Sandman, producer David S. Goyer shared how the Blob’s origins will be updated in the remake, stating “One of the decisions we made is instead of the Blob coming from space, it’s something that is made in the lab”. Goyer also stated that the new take on The Blob is predicated on modern scientific developments and fears, such as “the use of AI and gene editing and the slippery slope of all that work entails”.
