Marvel Finds New Blade Director in Lovecraft Country’s Yann Demange
It’s open season on all suckheads, as Marvel has tapped Yann Demange as the new director of Blade. The French filmmaker is known for executive producing and directing episodes of both HBO’s beloved but short-lived Lovecraft Country and UK crime drama Top Boy.
