Michael Morbius: Last News

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.

Sony’s Morbius is ostensibly a Spider-Man spin-off, but in many ways the Marvel movie has more in common with DC’s solemn The Batman. Michael Morbius is a moody, Byronic scientist living in New York, with rich sponsors to fund his research into the rare blood disorder he suffers from. The answer could possibly lurk in the DNA from which animal? You guessed it, the bat.

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.

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.

The Spider-Man spinoff Morbius has a confirmed release date and this time it’s official. After being postponed several times due to the pandemic it looks like fans will finally get to see Jared Leto as the titular character.

Then, hilarity ensued.

Jared Leto has said that he doesn’t believe cinemas would have survived had it not been for the success of the Marvel films.The actor, who portrays otherworldly bloodsucker Morbius in the upcoming Marvel movie of the same name, said in a new interview that cinemas most likely still operate because of the draw such comic book films have on audiences.“If it wasn’t for Marvel films, I don’t even know if theatres would exist,” he told Variety. He admitted that he is “a bit of a snob when it comes to film” but that he’s worried about the financial health of the industry, and therefore thinks that superhero blockbusters need to be appreciated for the vital lifeline they supply.“It doesn’t seem like there’s room for everyone, and that starts to become a little heartbreaking,” he added, suggesting that he’s also cognisant of Marvel’s dominance.Elsewhere in the interview, the actor and musician said that he’d continue portraying the character in potential sequels.
