The third and final trailer for Morbius will arrive this upcoming Monday, hinted at in the new promotional video released by Sony Pictures. Morbius will star Jared Leto, playing the Spider-Man antihero Michael Morbius, who embarks down a dangerous path to treat rare blood disease, resulting in the manifestation of his darkness.
Morbius initially looked to hit theaters on July 10, 2020, but the ever-present coronavirus pandemic altered the plan, taking the Spider-Man spin-off through a series of changes and readjustments for the last two years until January 28, 2022, became the firm date of release. Unfortunately, a new variant popped that ballon of optimism as well, forcing Sony to push the release date of the film back even further to April.

The webslinging hero would have been distracting to the antihero, which may have impacted its box office numbers.

The footage provides a brief overview of the character's history in the Marvel universe and the connection Leto felt towards the character, which gravitated him to the role.
