Jared Leto Wants A Venom vs. Morbius Battle
Jared Leto is hoping to see Morbius fight Venom in a future film. After being delayed for over two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Morbius is finally set to hit theaters on April 1, 2022. Based on the Marvel character of the same name created by Roy Thomas and Gil Kane, the film tells the story of Michael Morbius who in an attempt to cure himself of a rare blood disease transforms himself into a vampiric monster.

Later trailers would connect the film to those two universes, but also the OsCorp logo from The Amazing Spider-Man films and overt references to Venom which takes place in its own separate universe from the other Spider-Man films. The movie's trailer even has a direct line referring to Venom, one where Morbius appears aware of the character's existence hinting that Venom has now become a more known figure in his universe following the events of Venom: Let There Be Carnage.
