5 Characters Mia Goth Could Play in ‘Blade’

The nebulous, infinitely-expanding Marvel Cinematic Universe has now added Infinity Pool star and scream queen Mia Goth to its roster. Goth is due for a role in the much-anticipated and long-awaited Blade reboot, being headlined by Mahershala Ali and helmed by Yann Demange.

Goth is best known for her roles in, fittingly, gothic films, where she often portrays complex killers and seductresses. Her background in provocative indie films is very noteworthy too, with almost all her roles highly demanding and R-rated films. Bringing Goth to the Marvel universe seemed like classic pipe dream casting, but is now reality. But who could the 21st century’s scream queen be portraying in Blade? Friend or foe?

Lilith

Possibly the most obvious choice, Lilith would be almost certainly top of many lists. The daughter of Dracula, Lilith first appeared in 1974 and has mostly not been involved in the classic Marvel fare of superheroes and world-ending New York City battles. Instead, Lilith makes up a crucial part of the vampiric pantheon within Marvel – often lurking in the shadows and occasionally jumping back to relevancy. Lilith is more typically a villain of Doctor Strange, although such usual affiliations don’t tend to apply in the MCU.

Hunger 

While a composite character of Hunger was portrayed by Matt Smith in the laughably bad Morbius, the character deserves a second chance. A living vampire, Hunger is male in the comics, but this is hardly an established character, so taking liberties would work. Loxias Crown is a former agent of Hydra who is adept with the Darkhold, similar to Scarlet Witch and Doctor Strange. Defeated in the comics by Blade and Spider-Man, the Darkhold part of the character would fit in with the current multiverse arc of the MCU.
