Jared Leto Shares Brand New Look At Morbius On Set Of Spider-Man Spinoff

Morbius Jared Leto Spider-Man Sony Marvel Comics Matt Smith

Jared Leto has shared a photo celebrating the 30 Seconds To Mars album This Is War birthday while filming his upcoming Spider-Man spinoff Morbius.

Jared Leto is maybe one of the most prolific entertainers around in Hollywood. He’s not only known for portraying characters like The Joker in David Ayer’s 2016 film Suicide Squad but he’s also the lead singer of 30 Seconds To Mars. He usually switches up his gigs as an actor or as a musician, but this time he did a little bit of both by celebrating the This Is War album’s birthday while in character as Dr. Michael Morbius. Check it out:

Jared Leto’s Morbius’ details are still kept under wraps but it seems that his story will be very much like Tom Hardy’s Eddie Brock in Venom. Dr. Michael Morbius suffers from a rare blood disease which eventually turns him into a living vampire. Much like Eddie Brock, Jared Leto’s Michael Morbius is seen as an antihero rather than a villain which can potentially turn into a very interesting film.

It also seems that Jared Leto may also be done with his role as The Joker in the DCEU. Although there might be scenes depicting Harley Quinn’s past with the Clown Prince of Crime, there’s no confirmation that Jared Leto will appear in the film or even in James Gunn’s The Suidice Squad. Although his portrayal of The Joker seemed over-the-top, it had a lot of potential for the DCEU. Nevertheless, it seems that DC has moved away from Jared Leto only to focus on Joaquin Phoenix and Todd Phillips’ Joker project due for later this year.

What do you think of Jared Leto’s Morbius at the moment? Will he nail the character? Sound off in the comment section down below!

Directed Daniel Espinosa from a script written by Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless, Morbius stars Jared Leto as the lead anti-hero. Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach are producing the project with Lucas Foster. Palak Patel will oversee for Sony.

In addition to Jared Leto and Matt Smith, Morbius also stars Adria Arjona as Martine Bancroft and Tyrese Gibson as an FBI agent hunting Morbius. Jared Harris is also on board as the titular character’s mentor.

Morbius opens in theaters on July 31, 2020. Stay tuned to Heroic Hollywood for more updates on the Jared Leto’s Morbius project and the rest of Sony’s Spider-Man spin-offs.

Top Actors To Replace Ben Affleck In Matt Reeves’ ‘The Batman’

Ben Affleck is officially out as Batman and it’s a pretty sad day.

Words cannot describe how sad I am to see Ben Affleck announce that he’s no longer Batman. His Batman is why I do what I do. In Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, I fell in love with his comic book-accurate interpretation of the Caped Crusader. It was a breath of fresh air and it felt like we finally had the one true Batman.

Three years have quickly sped by and we’re officially going to receive a new Batman for his next movie. Last night, Ben Affleck announced that he will not return as the Dark Knight in Matt Reeves’ The Batman and now everyone’s attention has moved towards wanting to know who the next Bruce Wayne will be. Matt Reeves is said to want an actor that’s around 20 years younger than Affleck while Warner Bros. wants someone older. My guess is that Reeves wants a fresh start while the studio wants an older actor for crossover potential.

In this list, I will discuss the actors I think can replace Ben Affleck as Batman using the parameters that Matt Reeves and Warner Bros. want. Hit Next to see our picks to play the Batman.

Michael Fassbender

Michael Fassbender is an X-Men alum and no stranger to comic book franchises. The actor has shown multiple levels of range and could definitely handle the Batman/Bruce Wayne personality. If they go with the older range for the next Dark Knight, then Fassbender is probably one of the best choices to take over the role.

Ben Barnes

Ben Barnes is out of a job after The Punisher season 2 and he’s one of the best actors in that series. The second season tied up Barnes’ arc on The Punisher and the actor has already told us that that he’d love to play the Caped Crusader. Barnes definitely has the pretty boy look going on for him and I wonder what his take on Bruce Wayne could be.

Ryan Gosling

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again: Ryan Gosling needs to star in a superhero movie. I’ve always thought Gosling would make a great Batman. Every role that he’s done has shown us his capability and he could crush it as Bruce Wayne.

Jon Hamm

Jon Hamm is my top choice for an older Batman. If Warner Bros. wants to cast an older actor for crossover potential, Jon Hamm is the studio’s best bet. He has a similar look to Ben Affleck, and c’mon, the guy’s look just screams Bruce Wayne.

Armie Hammer

Armie Hammer is 32 years old and was cast as the Caped Crusader in George Miller’s Justice League: Mortal. That film will never see the light of day, but that doesn’t mean that Hammer doesn’t deserve a second shot at being the Batman. He’s charming, broody and will probably give his all for this role. Armie Hammer is a great option because he’s young enough for Matt Reeves and Warner Bros. could work in a way for him to crossover with the rest of the DC Extended Universe.

Richard Madden

Game of Thrones alum Richard Madden is my top choice to replace Ben Affleck as Batman. The actor is young, has the look and definitely has the acting chops to play the duality of Batman and Bruce Wayne. Madden just won the Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Television series for the BBC drama Bodyguard, so Warner Bros. may want to quickly snatch him up.
