We finally have our first look at Jared Leto as Sony’s Morbius The Living Vampire thanks to a leaked photo.
After months of speculation as to what Jared Leto’s Morbius would look like, we can see that the character will truly be menacing. Jared Leto’s Morbius, announced after the success of Venom, is set to be the latest addition to Sony’s Spider-Man Universe of films. With Jared Leto on board, Sony is sure to have a hit on their hands that hopefully leans heavily into the horror vibes that the superhero genre hasn’t been able to produce as of yet. The image, which was found on Twitter, gives us a solid look at how terrifying Jared Leto’s rendition of Morbius will be.
You can check out the leaked image of Jared Leto as Morbius below, along with a comparison image from the Morbius comic.

In the image, Jared Leto’s Morbius is rocking the classic blue skin fans have expected from Morbius. You can also tell that Jared Leto’s nose has been modified as well to give credence to the short snout Morbius has. The fans on Jared Leto’s Morbius are also fairly accurate. It’s good to know that Jared Leto and the creative team are taking their time to peruse through the comics and give fans the most accurate rendition of the character as possible.
This image comes in the wake of the news that a Morbius trailer was rated, which means that we’ll be getting a solid, official look at the Jared Leto film relatively soon. We’re not sure exactly when the trailer for Morbius will drop, but it’s safe to say that sometime next week our Twitter feeds will be ravaged by Morbius gifs!

The film will be based on the Marvel comic Morbius the Living Vampire featuring the popular anti-hero, who first appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man #101. In the comics, the famed scientist Dr. Michael Morbius attempted to cure himself of a rare blood disease and consequently developed a form of vampirism instead.
Directed Daniel Espinosa from a script written by Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless, Morbius 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 will be released in theaters on July 31, 2020.
