As a wise Daywalker once kind of said, "Some studio presidents are always trying to ice skate uphill" — and it looks like Marvel head honcho Kevin Feige ain't ready to hang up his *ahem* blades just yet.

The MCU appears to be actively trying to move past the multiversal chaos of Phases 4 and 5, as evidenced by its upcoming slate of projects. Following the announcement of Robert Downey Jr.’s return, Marvel fans are arguably most excited for the much-awaited arrival of the Avengers sequels.

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.

Feige emphasized that Marvel is prioritizing quality over speed, stating, “The most important thing for us is not rushing it and making sure we are making the right Blade movie.”

The Blade MCU release date delay had some fans worried the project would be canceled, and Marvel Studios' Kevin Feige addressed those concerns.

The Mahershala Ali-led reboot was scheduled for a Nov. 7, 2025 theatrical release before it was removed from Marvel's calendar.

Blade might be off the theatrical calendar, but Marvel Studios Chief Creative Officer Kevin Feige has exclaimed that the studio is “committed” to the project. The reboot of the Wesley Snipes franchise was announced at Comic-Con 2019 with Oscar winner Mahershala Ali in the title role.
