Who Is Lilith? MCU Blade Movie Villain Reports Explained
Blade might have lost another director, but information about one of the potential villains, Lilith, has surfaced following Yann Demange's resignation. First revealed in 2019, Blade was included on the Phase Four MCU roster of films. But a worldwide epidemic, several Hollywood strikes, and cast and crew changes have kept the film behind schedule. With a director, cast, and well developed narrative in place, the film was mere months from starting main filming in 2023.
Now, owing to those same strikes, the movie was pushed back to start filming in 2024; but, Blade's production has once more gone on standby with the most recent director attached departing the project. The small silver lining of this delay is that several story elements meant for a 2023 shoot have lately come to light (thanks THR). Basically, the reveals make it quite evident that Mia Goth's character, Lilith, was meant to be the main enemy for the film.
MCU Blade Movie Notes Teased What Lilith's part in the film formerly looked like?
The Hollywood Report claims that Mia Goth's Lilith was set to be the film's villain. Lilith would then try to harvest blood from Blade's daughter. Eric Brooks, better known as Blade, does have a daughter named Brielle Brooks in the comics. Thanks to her father's half-Vampire status, the little quarter-vampire has special skills and talents; but, how this would have been shown in the Movie is not quite obvious.
Given Lilith's interest in the girl, the original movie script most certainly included some form of unique quality in her blood. Possibly as a means of controlling Eric Brooks personally, or perhaps as a means of producing additional Vampires devoid of the regular flaws. Nevertheless, this narrative is now thrown aside even if Mia Goth is still committed to the Blade project and Lilith could still be involved in the events of whatever revised screenplay releases. Less apparent is whether Blade's family will still be a part of the narrative.
Marvel Comics Revealed Lilith's Origin and Powers
In the comic books, Lilith is an old and practically mythological character. Inspired by actual religious tales, Lilith is said to be the first woman created and Adam's Original wife. She was sent out nevertheless, since her offspring were evil and hideous. The comics explore this idea in numerous angles, which has produced the character with several origin stories. She is ancient and first appears at the very beginning of human history in all the beginnings for the character.
Likewise, her abilities change according on the narrative; in one related to Thor and Hercules, Lilith is imprisoned for a protracted length of time in Tiamut's corpse. This could help to link the Mcu's supernatural universe to tales like Eternals, where Tiamut last appeared. With increased strength, endurance, and illness and aging immunity, Lilith in this narrative also has abilities akin to the Eternals. Being a sorcerer, she also has a tremendous deal of knowledge and ability. She may also naturally generate demonic children called Lilin, of course.
Blade's Movie Changes Mean Lilith's Role Could Change For The Final Movie
Although the character and the Blade movie's original concept would have put them in the 1920s, the most recent iterations of the narrative are supposed to take place in the present. This implies that to fit the contemporary Mcu, Lilith's role, origin, and powers might all be changed. Though a figure like Lilith could be a great way to link the stories together, at present the supernatural component of the MCU stays unique and separate from the main MCU.
Whether leveraging the Tiamut link, her link to the Pantheon of gods like Thor, who has been a part of the MCU from the beginning, or Hercules, who showed up in a post-credits scene for Thor: Love & Thunder. Though with Mia Goth still attached, it is also likely that Lilith will not show up in the forthcoming Blade movie, therefore her role would be recast—which seems strange. Lilith is thus probably joining the MCU in not too distant future, although how and why will probably not be known until the films premiere.
The Blade Movie: An Anticipated Overview of Vampires for the MCU
More than twenty years after Wesley Snipes originally portrayed the legendary vampire hunter in live-action, Marvel Studios' Blade sees the comeback of the character. Officially bringing vampires to the Marvel Cinematic Universe following Eternals' second post-credits sequence hinted at, the Blade revival stars Mahershala Ali as Eric Brooks. Delroy Lindo and Aaron Pierre accompany Ali in Yann Demange's gloomy superhero film set for 2024.
Fans eagerly anticipate information on its production, release date, and additional specifics about its storyline and characters as the movie is presently experiencing multiple delays. As she offers a special mix of mythology, supernatural powers, and a link to the larger Marvel universe, the inclusion of Lilith, a strong and old vampire, promises a fascinating and exciting addition to the MCU.
