Sony’s “Morbius” is finally in theaters and while people are endlessly sharing their hot takes of the poorly-reviewed superhero film (including our review) and ‘Spider-Man’ spin-off, what might be even more interesting is all the behind-the-scenes shenanigans of Jared Leto, who as one person joked on Twitter today, might be the Daniel Day-Lewis of bad movies.

Jared Leto went full method acting for “Morbius”.

Zack Sharf Jared Leto is known for staying in character throughout the duration of his film shoots, and on the “Morbius” set that apparently meant using a wheelchair to go to the bathroom.

In this case of the new superhero film “Morbius,” Butler had to make sure audiences could still see elements of Jared Leto’s transformation, while staying true to the character seen in Marvel comic books. “It had to be physically plausible and believable,” Butler says.In the film, Leto immerses himself in the part of Dr.
