New Promo Image of Jared Leto in MORBIUS
Thanks to the cover of a new issue of Comic-Con magazine, we have a new look at Jared Leto in the role of Michael Morbius a.k.a. The Living Vampire in Sony’s Marvel movie Morbius.
This movie actually looks like it could be a really good movie. I’ve liked what I’ve seen from the trailer and it’s going to be interesting to see how exactly the rest of the Spider-Man universe that’s been set up in the MCU fits into the story, especially with Michael Keaton’s Vulture being in the film!
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 script for the film is being written by Burk Sharpless and Matt Sazama (Lost in Space), and maybe it will hit theaters in the summer of 2020.
