Morbius: Jared Leto Hints At Future Crossovers With Other Marvel Villains
In a new Morbius video, star Jared Leto teases future crossovers with other Marvel villains. Leto stars as the titular character in Morbius, a gifted doctor with a unique blood disease who ends up becoming a pseudo vampire after a failed experiment to find a cure, which gives him superhuman powers and a taste for human blood. This is the first live-action appearance of the character, who was originally conceived as a Spider-Man villain, before becoming an anti-hero in his own comics.
Morbius was originally slated to open as far back as July 2020, but is now slated for April 1, 2022, having recently been pushed back to allow Spider-Man: No Way Home to finish out its successful theatrical run. The film co-stars Adria Arjona, Jared Harris, Matt Smith and Tyrese Gibson with a tease of Michael Keaton, who previously played Adrian Toomes/Vulture in Spider-Man: Homecoming. Morbius is directed by Daniel Espinosa, who previously directed Safe House with Ryan Reynolds and Denzel Washington
