Marvel Studios’ long-anticipated Midnight Sons project might be facing a creative shakeup as reports suggest acclaimed screenwriter Michael Green has stepped away from the script. Initially tapped last summer to craft the supernatural team-up story, Green’s take reportedly didn’t resonate with the studio, and Marvel is now on the hunt for a replacement.
Green, whose impressive portfolio includes Logan, Blade Runner 2049, Netflix's Blue Eye Samurai, and the original script for the upcoming Blade reboot, seemed like a natural fit for the dark, mystical tones of Midnight Sons. However, his departure may signal a fresh creative direction for the film—if it officially comes to fruition.
While Marvel Studios has yet to formally announce the movie, industry whispers suggest it’s only a matter of time before the supernatural heroes unite on the big screen. Comic fans are already speculating about potential lineups, with rumored characters including Wong, Moon Knight, Ghost Rider, Blade, Werewolf by Night, and Man-Thing. Other names reportedly being considered are Black Knight, Scarlet Scarab, Elsa Bloodstone, Doctor Strange, and Agatha Harkness.
The idea of Midnight Sons is rich with cinematic potential. As actor Oscar Isaac (Moon Knight) recently mentioned, seeing characters like Marc Spector (and his alters) as part of a dynamic team could create unique storytelling opportunities. With supernatural threats on the rise in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, assembling this team feels inevitable.
For fans, the next big question is: Who will step into Michael Green’s shoes? Marvel has been eyeing directors like Michael Giacchino (Werewolf by Night) and Fede Alvarez (Alien: Romulus), which hints at the studio’s commitment to delivering a visually compelling, atmospheric take on these beloved characters.
