Trailer Talk: Morbius

So, after failing to capture what the Joker is in ‘Suicide Squad’, Jared Leto has set his sights on Marvel films…and this role looks perfect for him!

‘Morbius’ stars Jared Leto as Michael Morbius, a biochemist who tries to find a cure for his rare blood disease. However, he accidently infects himself with a form of vampirism.

This film looks like a lot of fun and, after the abomination that was the Leto Joker, I really hope this role suits him better. The visual effects look fantastic, and the small glimpse viewers get of the vampire at the end is a delight. Overall, it’ll be great to see Jared Leto join the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Yes, this film is set in the MCU according to the trailer. Graffiti showing the Tobey Maguire Spiderman and Michael Keaton’s Vulture (from Spiderman: Homecoming) are both shown right at the end. Is it possible we could see Morbius in the third Spiderman film?

‘Morbius’ will be in cinemas 31^st July 2020.

Morbius is an upcoming American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name, produced by Columbia Pictures in association with Marvel Entertainment and distributed by Sony Pictures Releasing. It is intended to be the second film in Sony’s Marvel Universe. The film is being directed by Daniel Espinosa from a script by Matt Sazama, Burk Sharpless, Art Marcum and Matt Holloway, and stars Jared Leto in the title role alongside Matt Smith, Adria Arjona, Jared Harris, Al Madrigal, and Tyrese Gibson.

After announcing plans for a new shared universe of films inspired by Spider-Man characters beginning with Venom (2018), Sony was revealed to be developing one based on Morbius. Sazama and Sharpless had written a script by November 2017, with Leto and Espinosa officially joining in June 2018. Work began in earnest at the end of the year with further casting, ahead of a production start in February 2019 in London. Filming was set to take 12 weeks, and was confirmed to have been completed by June 2019. As of June 2019, the film is in the post-production stage.
