Mia Goth: Marvel's Blade Reboot Team Aims for Greatness

Mia Goth has given fans of Marvel's Blade some reassurance amidst the setbacks and delays surrounding the film. Speaking at the red carpet event for her latest movie, MaXXXine, Goth emphasized that the team behind the Blade reboot is genuinely committed to producing a great movie. Goth, known for her roles in Ti West's horror films Pearl and X, joined the Blade cast in April 2023 and is rumored to play a vampire villain named Lilith. The script is undergoing revisions, with Marvel veteran Eric Pearson taking the lead, aiming to finally find a suitable director after the departures of Bassam Tariq and Yann Demange. Wesley Snipes, the original Blade, commented humorously on the production issues, while anticipation continues for the film's scheduled release on November 7, 2025, despite ongoing challenges.

The new Blade movie is a reboot within the Marvel Cinematic Universe focusing on the vampire hunter Blade, originally portrayed by Wesley Snipes. Mia Goth is expected to play a vampire villain named Lilith, who seeks the blood of Blade's daughter. The reboot aims to bring a fresh take while respecting the foundational elements that made the original Blade films iconic.

Blade is a character that first appeared in Marvel Comics in 1973, created by writer Marv Wolfman and penciller Gene Colan. The character became widely popular with the release of the 1998 film starring Wesley Snipes, which was followed by two sequels. The Blade series is notable for its dark, gothic aesthetic and intense action sequences, elements that the reboot will likely strive to recreate while fitting into the broader Marvel Cinematic Universe.
