Mia Goth is capturing the spotlight as she continues to carve out her niche within Hollywood, balancing her aspirations alongside her impressive body of work. Recently seen at the premiere of her latest film, MaXXXine, at the TCL Chinese Theatre, Goth remains focused on her ambitious role in Marvel's upcoming Blade movie. This film is slated for release on November 2025 and will feature Mahershala Ali as the titular hero, with Goth taking on the role of the vampiric Lilith.
Despite facing numerous production shakeups and delays—including major director changes and the impact of the WGA strike—Goth is optimistic. When asked by ET's Ash Crossan about the film's future, she expressed, "Yeah, I am. Very much so," highlighting her confidence even amid uncertainty. Blade, which has experienced significant back-and-forth since its initial announcement, reflects the challenges within the industry, yet Goth's tenacity shines through as she remains committed to the project.
Goth's career has been taking off, particularly through her collaboration with director Ti West on the acclaimed horror films within his X trilogy, which includes X, Pearl, and now MaXXXine. She portrays Maxine Minx, whose drive for fame parallels Goth’s own experiences over the past four years. "I connected with her," Goth stated about her character. She explained, "We've been on a similartrajectory, and I think it's just helped inform the work." This intimate connection is evident throughout the films, with MaXXXine hitting theaters on July 5, 2024. The film promises to unravel the dark and ambiguous undertones of ambition and survival within the film industry of the 1980s.
MaXXXine will also make its way to streaming on JioCinema, confirming its return to the spotlight post-theatrical release on January 5, 2025. Celebrated for its blend of horror and narrative depth, the trilogy reflects the evolution of horror filmmaking through Goth's performances, particularly within the psyche of her characters. The film showcases Maxine’s quest for stardom but also hints at her dark past, deftly crafted by Ti West’s direction. Goth emphasizes the vibrancy of her character’s chaotic environment, balancing the glitz and horror of Hollywood.
Aside from the cinematic world, Goth revealed her personal connection to her cultural roots, stating she feels "closer to home" when watching The Great British Bake Off. Born in London and with Brazilian and Canadian heritage, she cherishes the feeling of nostalgia the show brings. "It feels like a hug," she remarked, indicating how being immersed in British culture resonates with her life now based across the ocean. Her recent culinary adventures, including her attempt at making apple crumble, highlight her desire to embrace new experiences even if they don’t always turn out perfectly.
Goth also reflected on the nature of being an actor, where she claims, "I think actors are weird people...those are the best ones." This perspective resonates with her artistic identity, where those who are often considered outliers bring richness and depth to their performances. Her open appreciation for the quirks of the profession offers insight not only to her own character choices but also to why she feels at home within the roles she takes on.
Through her roles, particularly within the horror genre, Mia Goth has firmly positioned herself as both a distinct actress and storyteller within Hollywood. With the anticipated release of Blade alongside the continuation of the X trilogy, she exemplifies the dynamic range of narratives available to young actresses today. Her resilience shines as she continues to navigate the ever-changing film industry, making her mark—one character at a time. The road to more groundbreaking work seems promising for Goth, who remains alert to the artistic paths she wishes to explore.
With future projects already brewing, followers of Goth's career can expect her introduction of both familiar faces and new challenges as she continues to merge her identity with the characters she embodies. Balancing her roots with her rising stardom, Mia Goth stands as one of the compelling figures shaping the narrative both behind and on the silver screen.
