Now, studio head Kevin Feige is dropping hints as to when the characters might truly receive the spotlight in upcoming Marvel films. Since 2019's Avengers: Endgame, there have been numerous references and cameos to the X-Men that have been sprinkled across major MCU entries.

Marvel Studios recently took Mahershala Ali’s long-delayed “Blade” movie off its release calendar, but studio president Kevin Feige is telling fans not to worry about whether or not the iconic vampire hunter will find his way into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Despite Marvel Studios’ upcoming Blade movie starring Mahershala Ali being put on hold seemingly indefinitely, Marvel boss Kevin Feige promises that the character will make it to the MCU one day. "We are committed to Blade.

The original 1998 film Blade was the first truly successful Marvel movie. Over 20 years later, the planned Blade reboot - first announced in 2019 - has become the most delayed Marvel movie of all time.

But I can tell you that the character will be coming to the MCU.” Marvel has three movies slated for next year: Captain America: Brave New World (Feb. 14), Thunderbolts (May 5), and The Fantastic Four: First Steps (July 25).

Despite the production's many hiccups, Marvel boss Kevin Feige is confident that Mahershala Ali's Blade will still become a major player in the MCU.
