Mia Goth Cast in New Marvel Studios’ Film Blade
Mia Goth (Pearl) is rumored to be joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe alongside Mahershala Ali (Moonlight) in the upcoming film, Blade.
There have been talks for the revival of Blade since 2019 at San Diego Comic-Con. Although plot details for Marvel Studios’ Blade have largely been kept under wraps, fans do know that Ali will embody a titular role. The script will be adapted by Michael Starrbury and directed by Yann Demange. Starrbury’s script is also revealed to be “darker than most MCU movies.” Even though Ali is portraying Blade, Goth’s potential role in the film has not been determined yet.
Marv Wolfman and Gene Colan created Blade, which first appeared in Tomb of Dracula No. 10 in 1973 and quickly achieved cult status. The character of Blade is largely associated with Wesley Snipes (To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything!). The actor played Blade in 1998, followed by two sequels: Blade II (2002) and Blade Trinity (2004).
He will do great 🙏🏿 https://t.co/11PeFroKUY

The film began filming this past week and promises to be the “best script of the three by far.”
