variety.comZack Sharf Digital News Director 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.
