It is about actually a smaller, domestic group of five or six characters, it's a much more contained type of big Marvel film."

After curing himself of his illness, but afflicting himself with vampirism, Morbius refuses to hand the cure over to his friend to stop Milo becoming a monster – but Milo takes it anyway. While Morbius struggles with retaining his humanity, Milo throws himself into bloodthirsty carnage with glee.
