New Look At Jared Leto's Morbius Teases The Final Trailer Release Date

gamerant.com:

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 latest release window was a surprise to some, but the date alteration gives the film room to operate away from the success of Sony's other project in partnership with Marvel Studios, Spider-Man: No Way Home. The webslinging hero would have been distracting to the antihero, which may have impacted its box office numbers.

Despite the consistent changes, anticipation for Morbius is still relatively high, and the release of the film's final trailer will stoke things even further. Until then, however, Sony has released a new vignette titled The Lore of Morbius, which features Leto discussing the history of the antihero from his appearance as an antagonist in The Amazing Spider-Man comic books to now. 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.
