Mia Goth has become somewhat of a muse for horror directors in recent years. Last year, the actress appeared in Ti West’s sleeper hit X. The pair then followed the film up with a prequel, Pearl, on which Goth holds a co-writing credit. While these films may have gotten her the most attention she’s had to date, they were not her first horror films. In 2018, she appeared alongside Dakota Johnson and Tilda Swinton in Suspiria. The film was a remake of the Dario Argento classic, helmed by Luca Guadagnino, director of Call Me By Your Name. Most recently, the actress appeared in Brandon Cronenberg’s Infinity Pool. Mia Goth has plenty of substantial roles under her belt, but it looks like she’s ready for bigger and better things.
Marvel has tapped Mia Goth to play a role in the new Blade film. It is not yet clear who she will be playing, but it will be her first time starring in a blockbuster film. The titular role in the new version is played by Oscar-winner Mahershala Ali. Before the MCU existed, Blade was already a staple in Hollywood. The character was the subject of a trilogy of films in the early 2000s where he was famously played by Wesley Snipes. It remains to be seen how fans of the originals will feel about the new iteration. The movie was announced two years ago but has not yet begun filming.

Mia Goth is a British actress that got her start in modeling. In 2013, she made her first film appearance in Lars von Trier’s extremely controversial film, Nymphomaniac. Goth has made a name for herself by appearing in films that many would consider disturbing. Most recently, the actress has gained an online cult following for her role as the titular character in Pearl. Many say Goth deserved an Oscar for the role, but she was not nominated. In addition to her acting credits, Mia Goth has also made headlines for her relationship with Shia LaBeouf.
Mia Goth and Shia LaBeouf married in 2016. The actor had already become something of a pariah in Hollywood at the time. After several troubled years, the couple filed for divorce. Then, LaBeouf famously dated and allegedly abused FKA Twigs. The allegations led to a lawsuit between the two. Recently, LaBeouf and Goth have apparently reconciled. In 2022, the two welcomed their first child together. The status of their relationship is currently unknown. At the very least, the actress has plenty of acting gigs on her plate.
