Marvel's Blade Adds Modern Horror Icon Mia Goth

This new version of "Blade" is directed by Yann Demange ("'71", "Lovecraft Country") and is written by Michael Starrbury ("When They See Us") and Stacy Osei-Kuffour ("Watchmen, " "Pen15"). Goth would join the previously mentioned Mahershala Ali and Delroy Lindo, who would play Whistler, Blade's grumpy mentor.

As far as who Goth is playing, the trades don't know and Marvel doesn't provide that information, but one name that has been brought up by Marvel fans is Lilith, a fallen angel and ally of the likes of Mephisto and all kinds of demons, including Lucifer himself. In the comics, this character has largely been on the side of Dracula and bad vampires, so if fan speculation is correct, that positions Mia Goth as one of the movie's heavy hitters.

Of course, this is all just comic book nerd guesswork, and with someone in the Goth lineup, she could easily play any number of roles in this film. Good guy, bad guy, someone with one foot in both worlds... Mia Goth can crush any of those roles and no matter who she ends up playing in the movie, "Blade" is lucky to have her. have on board.

“Blade” has an announced release date of September 6, 2024.
