Marvel fans have been eagerly anticipating the upcoming Blade movie, which will see Mahershala Ali taking on the iconic role of the vampire slayer. Although the film’s release is still over a year away, fans may have a clue as to who the main villain will be.

According to insider Daniel Richtman, Mia Goth has been cast as the villainous Lilith in the upcoming Blade movie. Richtman revealed in a Patreon post that Old’s Aaron Pierre is no longer part of the cast, and his character has been removed from the script. Delroy Lindo has joined the cast as classic Blade villain Deacon Frost, while Mia Goth will play Marvel’s Mother of Demons, Lilith.

As a breakout star in Ti West’s Pearl and X, Mia Goth’s career is seeing significant momentum. It would make sense for Marvel to rework the Blade script to feature Goth more prominently as the film’s primary antagonist. By the time Blade is released, Goth’s star may be at an all-time high, and the MCU can capitalize on that momentum.
