Jared Leto’s Spin-Man spin-off Morbius has received a final action-packed trailer.
After a series of delays, Jared Leto’s long-awaited Marvel debut as Dr. Michael Morbius is finally upon us. Set to release this April, the Spider-Man spin-off will see the good doctor trying to cure himself of a rare blood disease. His search for a cure eventually leads to him assuming the powers of a vampire. While he may have taken an oath to save as many people as he can as a doctor, his thirst for human blood overpowers the Hippocratic promise.
One of the most exciting components of the film is how it operates within Sony’s Spider-Man Universe, which now technically exists within the Marvel Cinematic Universe thanks to the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home. Is Jared Leto’s Morbius directly involved within the events of the MCU? Will he crossover with Venom and eventually Spider-Man? These are all questions that will hopefully be answered later this year.
Here is the synopsis for the film:
One of Marvel’s most compelling and conflicted characters comes to the big screen as Oscar® winner Jared Leto transforms into the enigmatic antihero, Michael Morbius. Dangerously ill with a rare blood disorder, and determined to save others suffering his same fate, Dr. Morbius attempts a desperate gamble. What at first appears to be a radical success, a darkness inside him is unleashed and transforms this healer into a hunter.
Directed Daniel Espinosa from a script written by Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless, the film stars Jared Leto as the lead anti-hero, Adria Arjona, Matt Smith, Jared Harris, and Tyrese Gibson. Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach are producing the project with Lucas Foster, while Palak Patel will oversee for Sony.
Morbius is currently scheduled to be released in theaters on April 1, 2022.
