Jared Leto Is Confident Morbius Will Fight Tom Holland's Spider-Man
Jared Leto reveals that he's confident Morbius will eventually fight Tom Holland's Spider-Man in a future film. After appearing as the Joker in 2016's Suicide Squad and Zack Snyder's Justice League, Leto is set to appear once more in a superhero film with the upcoming Morbius, this time as the hero. Directed by Daniel Espinosa, Morbius will see Leto take on the role of Dr. Michael Morbius, a biochemist who accidentally infects himself with a form of vampirism while trying to cure himself of a rare blood disease.
Morbius marks another entry into Sony's Spider-Man Universe after the success of Venom and Venom: Let There Be Carnage. Initial trailers for Morbius have teased a darker, horror-inspired take on the superhero genre, with Morbius acting as more of an anti-hero than a more typical superhero. In addition to Leto, the film also stars Jared Harris, Tyrese Gibson, Matt Smith, Adria Arjona, and Michael Keaton. After numerous delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Morbius is finally set to hit theaters early next month.
