The latest Marvel film has been released in the UK and sees actor/musician Jared Leto (Lord of War, Dallas Buyers Club) step into the role of the franchise's most iconic anti-hero. The film was directed by Daniel Espinosa and also stars Tyrese Gibson, Jared Harris, Adria Arjona, Matt Smith and Al Madriga.

green-haired, tattooed maniac? A balding fashion scion? A gaunt, gangrenous heroin addict? (Unless you’re a Thirty Seconds to Mars fan, in which case maybe you picture lead singer Leto berating a crowd member.) Even among the ranks of beautiful movie stars who enjoy working incognito — think Charlize Theron in “Monster,” Christian Bale in “The Machinist” and “Vice,” Colin Farrell in “The Batman” — the 50-year-old Leto is in a class by himself in the lengths he’ll go to for his extreme on-screen makeovers. In his latest film, Marvel’s “Morbius,” Leto throws himself into the part of Dr. Michael Morbius, a biochemist who inadvertently makes himself into a vampire when a life-saving experiment goes wrong.

Jared stars as biochemist Michael Morbius who tries to cure himself of a rare blood disease but inadvertently infects himself with a terrifying form of vampirism which comes with a handy set of supernatural powers.Meanwhile, Matt Smith’s Milo, who’s known Morbius since he was a child and is also looking for a cure, wants in – with disastrous results.Morbius is forced to grapple with his newfound powers and attempt to stop Milo from killing, well, pretty much anyone he can find.

Ellise Shafer The reviews are in for Marvel’s “Morbius” starring Jared Leto, and they’re out for blood.As the social media and review embargo lifted on Wednesday evening for the film, critics took to Twitter to elaborate on what some are calling the “worst Marvel superhero movie in a long, long time.”“#Morbius is a reminder of what many comic book movies were before the MCU: sloppy, poorly executed, and sure to disappoint fans of the comics,” critic Dan Murrell tweeted. “It also contains the worst attempt at universe building in the modern era. Full review later tonight but… it’s bad.”#Morbius is a reminder of what many comic book movies were before the MCU: sloppy, poorly executed, and sure to disappoint fans of the comics.

Jared Leto stopped by “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” even though he “forgot” his shirt.

et voila!Running time: 104 minutes. Rated PG-13 (intense sequences of violence, some frightening images and brief strong language). In theaters.The issue is personal.

Owen Gleiberman Chief Film CriticIn “Morbius,” Jared Leto sports his signature beard and long silky black hair parted down the middle, though for a good stretch he doesn’t give off his usual Jesus of Beverly Hills glow. That’s because he plays the sickly Dr. Michael Morbius, who is cadaverous and sunken-eyed, hobbling around on a pair of forearm crutches.

There’s nothing like on-screen text over a crystal-clear establishing shot to tell you exactly how stupid a filmmaker thinks their audience is. Sometimes it’s the big, bold “PARIS, FRANCE” chyron over an aerial shot of the Eiffel Tower; sometimes we get a widescreen image of the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial, and the Capital building with a helpful “WASHINGTON, D.C.” In “Morbius,” our title character is explaining to his best friend that an experimental procedure has to be performed in international waters, after which director Daniel Espinoza cuts to a giant shipping boat, in the middle of the ocean, with the words “INTERNATIONAL WATERS, EASTERN SEABOARD” plastered on the bottom of the screen.

Rebecca Rubin Film and Media ReporterAre superheroes impenetrable at the box office? Can any ol’ comic book character make a killing on the big screen?Sony’s antihero adventure “Morbius,” starring Jared Leto as Spider-Man’s eventual foe, will attempt to answer those questions when the vampire-infused horror movie opens in 3,600 North American theaters over the weekend.“Morbius” is estimated to sink its teeth into $40 million to $50 million in its first three days of release, according to independent tracking services. Sony, in an attempt to temper expectations around a newer Marvel character, is predicting a start closer to $33 million. Those ticket sales would be roughly in line with the Warner Bros.

Sony is further exploiting its end of the Marvel franchise this weekend with the long-delayed Jared Leto dark hero title Morbius. Booked at 4,200 locations, the Marvel vampire protagonist feature is eyeing a studio expected opening of $33M, but could get as high as $40M-$50M.

Marvel and DC Comics have been two warring companies for decades with both of their unique, action-packed superhero stories and crime-fighting characters. As of February, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has produced 27 films while the DC Extended Universe has only created 11 movies. DC’s projects have grossed over $5.8 billion and the MCU scored bigger bucks with $25 billion.At the same time, acclaimed directors such as Ridley Scott and Martin Scorsese have bashed the genre.

New Marvel movie Morbius is heading to cinemas very soon. It is being advertised with the tagline, ‘the line between hero and villain will be broken’, which gives a big clue as to the nature of the protagonist - played by Jared Leto.

Jared Leto is back on the red carpet!

Jared Leto is finally addressing the elephant in the room, revealing during his most recent interview that he is aware of his youthful looks, opening up about his thoughts on aging and confessing he may not be taking full advantage of his appearance.The ‘Morbius’ star who has been busy taking over Hollywood, with the recent release of ‘WeCrashed,’ acting alongside Anne Hathaway, and his latest role alongside Lady Gaga in ‘House of Gucci,’ says he wants to “keep everybody guessing” about the secret behind his looks.“Really, honestly, at the end of the day, it doesn’t really matter,” The 50-year-old actor said, explaining that he is used to people commenting on his age, “People started talking about my age and that sort of thing ten years ago,” he continued, “As you get older, people start saying, ‘Ah, you’re still young.’ and then there’s this age where they go, Really?’”And while he might not be ready to reveal his secret, the star says that when it comes to his career in the film industry, he has not been type casted for his looks, and he wonders if he should be taking more advantage of it.“Unfortunately, I’m not getting movie roles where I play, like, ‘a rather young-looking old man.’ Maybe I’m doing something wrong — not taking advantage of it enough. It just doesn’t matter.

Development on a third “Tron” movie goes back to 2015 when there were reports that director Joseph Kosinski (“Top Gun: Maverick”), alongside leads Garrett Hedlund and Olivia Wilde, was returning for “Tron 3” only for that incarnation to get scrapped by Disney. A second version has sprouted since, with Oscar-winner Jared Leto and “Lion” director Gareth Davis attached for the untitled pic and screenwriter Jesse Wigutow tasked with penning the script.
