Fans have been eagerly waiting for every update regarding the upcoming Marvel film Blade, which is set to feature Oscar-winning actor Mahershala Ali in the title character. The film is slated to release next year, and its lead star has been associated with the project almost for four years. It is also among one of the most anticipated upcoming projects under the MCU. However, the film has faced several production issues since its initial announcement.
Recent reports surrounding the film revealed that Nic Pizzolatto has started working on the film’s draft, and many assumed that the script of the film could go through a rewrite. Now new reports suggest that the studio has cast the 29-year-old English actress Mia Goth as the antagonist of the film, Lilith. The alleged casting has received a wild reaction from fans who are eagerly waiting for the film’s release.
Mia Goth Reportedly Joined the Cast of Blade as Lilith
Recent reports have claimed that, followed by several ups and downs, Blade has got some promoting updates. The True Detective creator Nic Pizzolatto has reportedly joined the project and is working on the film’s script. Reports also claimed that Pizzolatto is rewriting Blade’s script.
Followed by these reports, insider Daniel Richtman has revealed that the X actress Mia Goth has reportedly been cast as the Mother of Demons, Lilith, in the upcoming film. Richtman claimed on his Patreon that “Mia Goth is playing Lilith.”
The insider further mentioned that he is not sure which version of Lilith would be seen in the Mahershala Ali feature. Daniel Richtman also claimed that the Old actor Aaron Pierre’s character had been written off of the script, and Delroy Lindo is allegedly cast as the classic villain Deacon Frost.
Mia Goth is popular for her roles in films like Pearl and Infinity Pool and has received high praise for her work in them. However, fans do not seem favorable to the casting and the constant alteration in its production, as they claim that the film has been a “trainwreck” ever since it was announced.
Fans Concerned About MCU’s Blade
MCU’s Blade has been facing several production issues since the film was first announced. Bassam Tariq, who was set to direct the film, had to leave the production reportedly due to some scheduling conflicts. Stacy Osei-Kuffour reportedly worked on the film’s screenplay initially, which was later re-written by Michael Starrbury and now, allegedly, again by Nic Pizzolatto.
The recent writer’s strike has also affected the film’s production. The constant alteration in the production and the alleged casting of Mia Goth as Lilith in the upcoming movie has caused a burst among fans. As the news broke out, they took to Twitter to share their opinion and claimed that the Mahershala Ali starter “is never getting made.”
Many even said that the studio should scrap the film and start over with the vampire hunter. They also said that Disney might not do justice to the character and his story, as they usually avoid anything related to “blood and horror in it.” Fans shared their concern about the constantly delayed production of the film when it is only more than a year from release.
Blade is set to release on 6 September 2024.
