After a massive year in 2022 with back-to-back buzzworthy performances in “X” and “Pearl,” Mia Goth has added a role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to her resume, joining Marvel’s “Blade.”
The Marvel Studios film stars Oscar winner Mahershala Ali as the title vampire slayer, and is set to be directed by Yann Demange (“Lovecraft Country,” “White Boy Rick”) from a script by Emmy nominee Michael Starrbury, which is said to be “darker than most MCU movies.” Goth joins a star-studded cast which also includes Aaron Pierre and Delroy Lindo, but details of her role are being kept under wraps.
The “Blade” reboot was first announced at the 2019 Comic-Con in 2019, where Marvel Studio chief Kevin Feige, surprised Hall H by announcing Ali would take up the mantle of the infamous daywalker after Wesley Snipes played the Marvel Comics character in three films between 1998 and 2006.
“Blade” is currently slated to hit theaters on Sept. 6, 2024 as one of the final films in Phase Five of the MCU.
Goth is next set to close out the Ti West’s horror trilogy for A24 with the release of “MaXXXine,” with Elizabeth Debicki, Moses Sumney, Michelle Monaghan, Bobby Cannavale, Lily Collins, Halsey, Giancarlo Esposito and Kevin Bacon joining the cast. She is also reportedly circling a role opposite Andrew Garfield and Oscar Isaac in Guillermo del Toro’s live-action “Frankenstein” movie for Netflix.
Goth is represented by WME and Curtis Brown.
Deadline was first to report news of her casting. Marvel had no comment.
