Crazy First Look at Jared Leto as MORBIUS THE LIVING VAMPIRE
A lot of fans have been curious about Sony Pictures’ upcoming Marvel film Morbius The Living Vampire and what Jared Leto will actually look like in vampire form. Well, we’ve got our first look at that today and if it’s really… it’s actually pretty damn great! They completely nailed the look of the character design from the comics. I was actually pleasantly surprised by the character design!
Producer Avi Arad previously teased the look of the character saying:
“Wait until you see the way he looks, what we have done with this character, you will love it. There are so many other great characters on the way, too. You will see. We’re just getting started.”

The first trailer for the film is supposed to drop soon, so stay tuned for that. In the meantime, what do you think of this first look at Morbius The Living Vampire? Impressed or disappointed?
Morbius a.k.a. Dr. Michael Morbius, is "a scientist who suffered from a rare blood disease and attempted to cure himself to disastrous results. Instead of being cured, he became afflicted with a condition that was a form of vampirism — the thirst for blood, along with fangs and super strength — and fought Spider-Man. Over time, however, he became a slightly heroic figure in his own right and even headlined his own comic book titles.”
Jared Harris (Mad Men, The Crown, Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, The Terror) also stars in the film along with Adria Arjona (Pacific Rim Uprising), who will play Martine Bancroft, who was engaged to Morbius before he accidentally turned himself into a vampire. She ends up becoming a potential victim as Morbius learns to cope with his insatiable bloodlust. Matt Smith is also in the film and plays Loxias Crown.
The film is being directed by Daniel Espinosa (Safe House, Life). The script for the film is being written by Burk Sharpless and Matt Sazama (Lost in Space), and it will be released in theaters in the summer of 2020.
