In an uncanny bit of timing, on the eve of the release of Universal’s horror comedy Renfield, MCU fans have convinced themselves that Count Dracula is on his way to the Marvel universe, thanks to the latest exciting casting news for Blade. Meanwhile, James Gunn finds a kind way to definitively destroy persistent video game crossover rumors among Guardians of the Galaxy fans. Last but not least, the franchise veteran we never expected to last this long returns once more.
Mia Goth’s Blade casting has Marvel fans accounting for Count Dracula’s imminent arrival
In news that has thrilled MCU and horror lovers alike, Mia Goth is officially joining Mahershala Ali in the Blade reboot. Although character details have yet to be unveiled, the most likely option for her role seems to be Lilith, the daughter of Dracula in the supernatural side of Marvel lore. With that, folks are now trying to figure out who could be playing the Prince of Darkness in the cinematic universe. Unsurprisingly, many people are voting for Nicolas Cage to reprise his Renfield role in what would surely be the wildest crossover we’ve yet seen in the MCU.
James Gunn employs a fresh look at Guardians 3 to definitively destroy talk of a viral game crossover
In a hilarious saga that’s been playing out ever since the first Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 teaser was released in December, the internet has repeatedly expressed love for what it views as James Gunn’s homage to Among Us — the scene in which the team don colorful astronaut suits. The director has stressed again and again that this is actually a nod to cinematic classic 2001: A Space Odyssey, but the fact has yet to replace the fiction. Maybe his latest tactic, sliding in the reminder alongside a new behind-the-scenes image, will finally do the trick. But somehow we doubt it.
The MCU’s most unexpected recurring character returns yet again in first Wonder Man set pics
Who’d have ever thought Trevor Slattery would still be hanging around the MCU a decade after he was outed as the fake Mandarin in Iron Man 3? And yet here we are. A couple of years after his amusing and surprising comeback in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Sir Ben Kingsley has been snapped on set of Marvel’s upcoming Disney Plus series Wonder Man, once again donning his long wig as the hapless and hammy thespian. It seems Slattery is back in Hollywood, given that the show will focus on Yahya Abdul-Mateen II’s Simon Williams, an actor-turned-superhero.

Latest Horror News: Universal deliciously expands its Dracula wheelhouse as Rob Zombie shoots down a ‘Munsters’ continuation
Welcome back to another Thirsty Thursday, gorehounds! Of course, it’s a Thirsty day for Nic Cage’s Dracula, who is set to make his long-awaited debut in Renfield tomorrow. Not only that, but Cocaine Bear is set to arrive on streaming to round out the week. But until then, we’ve got an assortment of blood-sucking goodies to explore in today’s daily horror roundup here at We Got This Covered. In today’s collection of juicy news, Universal has unveiled a brand-new Dracula experience while Rob Zombie has adamantly shut down any chance of continuing his Munsters narrative.
So, before you gather up all of your favorite red-colored snacks (and bucket of blood) for Renfield, sharpen your fangs and sink your teeth into the latest updates in the horror realm.
Cocaine Bear finally snorts up a spot on streaming tomorrow
Without a doubt, Cocaine Bear has been one of the hottest topics in the horror realm so far this year. Then again, when you craft a project about a monstrous black bear high on cocaine who goes on a murderous rampage, it hardly comes as a surprise that the “creature feature” attracted a strong following. Luckily for horror fans that weren’t bothered about checking out the film in theaters, Elizabeth Banks’ action-packed horror will be available to stream on Peacock starting tomorrow.
Move over Nic Cage, Universal is crawling with Dracula goodies
You’d think that with Renfield set to release in theaters tomorrow, Universal Pictures would take pause from crafting any more Dracula movies. Nevertheless, the production house is keeping up the momentum with a brand-new horror trailer for The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Based on Bram Stoker’s unforgettable novel, this bone-chilling tale will deliver a cinematic experience that is much different in comparison to a cheesy, narcissistic vampire. Either way, we’re in.
Rob Zombie confirms no more Munsters content is coming our way
After helming a cinematic reboot of The Munsters, horror auteur Rob Zombie has insisted that he has no intention of furthering the kooky narrative. In a recent interview, Zombie revealed that the entire process was far “too draining” and took way too much work to make happen. This decision might be for the best, honestly, seeing as opinions surrounding the movie were split straight down the middle.
Slither back in tomorrow, bear enthusiasts, for a fresh-faced horror roundup.
Mia Goth’s ‘Blade’ casting has MCU fans hoping a ‘Renfield’ crossover is coming
In news that is delighting horror-leaning fans who were already excited for the MCU to get its scare game on in Blade, Mia Goth has joined the cast of the upcoming Marvel Studios remake of the titular vampire hunter’s cinematic adventures. No character details have been revealed about Goth’s role as yet, but the mere presence of one of the most popular scream queens of modern times in the Mahershala Ali movie is getting folks’ blood pumping as it is.
When it comes to trying to guess who the X and Pearl actress could be playing, there are various possible options from the supernatural side of the Marvel universe. One common suggestion for Goth’s mystery character, though is Lilith, who just happens to be the daughter of Dracula. The daddy of vamps has long been suspected to be the main villain of the Blade reboot, so Goth potentially playing Lilith is leaving the users of the Marvel Studios subreddit wondering who could be portraying her undead on-screen pops.
