The Marvel Cinematic Universe has been setting the stage for a Blade film for several years now. Excitingly enough, we’re closer than ever to production, and the cast is coming together. It’s just been revealed that Mia Goth has joined the cast of Blade.
Mia Goth has become a major name in the horror community for her performances in films like X and Pearl. She’s also appeared in projects that include A Cure for Wellness, the recent Infinity Pool, and the upcoming film MaXXXine. As such, seeing the star join the MCU – and for Blade, no less – is exciting news.
As shared via Deadline, however, it’s uknown who Goth could specifically be playing in the film. But with her acting credits – it’s certainly going to be a character to remember. Hopefully we’ll have more cast and plot news soon.
Marvel Studios first announced Blade as far back as 2019. The film has gone through several directors in an effort to find the right path for the project. The film is now slated to be directed by Yann Demange with Michael Starrbury penning the script. Additionally, Kevin Feige is set to produce.
Actor Mahershala Ali is set to play the title character Blade. As mentioned, we’ll have to see who Mia Goth will end up playing in Blade, but it’ll certainly be fun to see her and Ali on the screen together. The past three Blade films featured actor Wesley Snipes in the titular role up until 2004 with Blade: Trinity. Additionally, Sticky Fingaz portrayed the character for a short-lived television series in 2006. This will be the first live-action Blade project since then.
Fans can stay tuned to ScreenGeek for additional updates on the MCU’s Blade film as we have them. For now, we’ll have to wait and see what role Mia Goth has in the highly-anticipated adaptation.
