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.

Kevin Feige shared an update about the future of 'Blade,' after Disney pulled the planned reboot from its 2025 release calendar.

Amid Disney’s D23 Brazil event, Kevin Feige spoke with Omelete and shared some sweet details regarding the MCU’s future. Talk eventually turned to the manner in which the Disney-owned company plans to drop content over the next few years. Based on Feige’s comments, fans shouldn’t expect an overabundance of titles to drop per calendar year:

Wesley Snipes’ Blade might think there’s only ever gonna be one Blade (along with half the Marvel fanbase, given the development troubles Marvel’s long-planned MCU reboot has been through these past few years),

Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige has given a number of somewhat vague but tantalizing updates on various M.I.A. MCU projects and characters at D23 Brazil, including Blade, Scarlet Witch, Miles Morales,

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.

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.

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