Jared Leto's method acting on the set has come under fire in the past, including his controversial 'gifts' to his Suicide Squad cast members... though he seems to have taken this to a whole new level in Morbius.The 50-year-old actor plays biochemist Michael Morbius, who has been working feverishly to find a cure from the rare blood disease he suffers from, and accidentally infects himself with an ancient form of vampirism instead.The film's director, Daniel Espinosa (Safe House, Life) spoke with Uproxxconfirmed a bizarre story interviewer Mike Ryan had heard, revealing that Leto would even stay in character between takes...

Zack Sharf “Morbius” director Daniel Espinosa remains “proud” of his comic book tentpole despite the movie earning abysmal reviews from film critics. The Jared Leto-starring superhero movie boasts a paltry 17% on Rotten Tomatoes, making it one of the lowest-rated Marvel films ever released. Espinosa confronted the film’s negative reviews in an interview with Insider.“When I did my first feature it was a small movie called ‘Babylon Disease,'” Espinosa said.

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. Similar to his character in the movie, Leto used crutches on set to maintain his character’s physicality. However, the crutches made Leto’s bathroom breaks a longer process than needed.

Jazz Tangcay Artisans EditorDigital Domain VFX supervisor Matt Butler is no stranger to visual effects transformations, and his north star is always to ensure the actor’s performance and idiosyncrasies come through. 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.

After multiple delays, Sony Pictures’ “Spider-Man” spin-off “Morbius” was finally released over the weekend. The third installment in Sony’s cinematic Spiderverse, which also includes the two “Venom” movies starring Tom Hardy, the studio has long teased a hard connection to the main Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Rebecca Rubin Film and Media Reporter“Morbius,” the latest comic book adventure from Sony’s Universe of Marvel Characters, opened in first place at the domestic box office, though ticket sales were considerably softer than recent superhero blockbusters.Dinged by comically terrible reviews, “Morbius” sunk its teeth into $39.1 million from 4,268 North American theaters in its first weekend of release. That initial tally is at once a sign that audiences truly love comic book movies (in pandemic times, a non-superhero film with a 17% on Rotten Tomatoes wouldn’t stand a chance at the box office) and an indication that not every superhuman character will be greeted equally on the big screen.

The filmmakers and corporations behind Sony’s Marvel Comics adaptation Morbius (★☆☆☆☆) have had ample time to consider what they’re aiming for with this big-budget film intro for living vampire, and vintage Spider-Man nemesis, Dr. Michael Morbius.Namely they should have figured out by now whether their version of the character — portrayed in astonishingly muted fashion by Oscar-winner and accent devourer Jared Leto — exists in any known Spider-Man film universe, or maybe one that’s merely Spidey-adjacent, à la Venom.After half a decade and at least seven release date delays, moviegoers and Marvel fans (not mutually exclusive) also have had ample time to try to make sense of every hint in the marketing, and every detail of speculation.But the murky, mundane origin story that director Daniel Espinosa and credited writing team Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless have come up with treats making sense more as a perk than a prerequisite, so dial down expectations accordingly.Ultimately, Morbius is a setup — a long-winded prologue to some prospective later franchise entry, teased in the two underwhelming mid-credits sequences that will prolong this experience for many who would otherwise be ready to bolt by then. Strangely enough, the movie checks out first, practically stopping on a dime following a listless showdown between super-vampire-powered Morbius and friend-turned-foe Milo, played by past and perennial Dr.

Fresh blood. Jared Leto is returning to the superhero genre, but this time, his character also happens to be a vampire.

Brent Lang Executive Editor of Film and Media“Morbius,” Sony’s latest attempt to extend its cinematic universe of Spider-Man villains and heroes, opened to $5.7 million in Thursday previews. The $75 million superhero film is on track to pull in $40 million in its first weekend of release. It’s a sign of just how much moviegoers love comic book fare.

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.
