Mia Goth Joins Marvel’s ‘Blade’

Mia Goth, who established herself as a rising talent in horror with last year’s X and Pearl, is jumping into the horror-centric side of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Goth is a late addition to Marvel Studios’ Blade, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.

Blade stars Mahershala Ali as the titular half-human, half-vampire who spends his time hunting vampires to avenge his late mother. Yann Demange, the director known for Lovecraft Country, is at the helm of the project, which has a script by Michael Starrbury.
