Morbius Early Fan Reactions Call The Marvel Movie Disjointed & Incoherent
Early fan reactions for Morbius say the film is disjointed and incoherent. Morbius is Sony's upcoming Marvel film set in their Spider-Man Universe. The film is directed by Daniel Espinosa, who previously helmed 2012's Safe House and 2017's Life. Morbius also boasts a stellar cast, including Jared Leto in the title role, Michael Keaton reprising his Vulture role, Jared Harris, Adria Arjona, Tyrese Gibson, and Matt Smith. The plot follows biochemist Michael Morbius as he tries to cure his rare blood disease, only to infect himself with a bizarre form of vampirism.
Morbius has suffered numerous delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It was slated to release on January 28 before being pushed again to April 1. Morbius' most recent delay came on the heels of Spider-Man: No Way Home dominating the box office, with many assuming the film was being retooled to add more material or to give Spider-Man a wider breadth before another comic book-based film was released. Now, with Morbius' debut only a week away, some fans have gotten a chance to see the movie.
