The upcoming Morbius movie will serve as the second entry into Sony’s Universe of Marvel Characters and already, it’s creating a good deal of buzz as it begins to take flight.
Plot-wise, we’re still pretty in the dark when it comes to what we can expect, but star Jared Leto has already alluded to 2013 Marvel Max series The Man Called Morbius from writer Joe Keating as being a source of inspiration, which basically confirms the pic’s gothic leanings. We also know that the villain of the film will be Matt Smith’s Loxias Crown.
From what we understand, he’s an original character not from the comics and is described as “Morbius’ best friend who also suffers from the blood disease.” Clearly, something will happen between the two to turn them against one another and while we can’t say what that might be just yet,...

Pending some final negotiations, Jared Leto is on the verge of embracing his darker side for Morbius, the Living Vampire.
It’s the fifth Spider-Man spinoff to be announced by Sony Pictures, and will soon join Venom, Silver & Black, Silk and the embryonic Nightwatch movie within the studio’s Marvel Universe.
Daniel Espinosa of Life fame is attached to direct this one, and we’ve since learned that Morbius, a story which revolves around doomed biochemist Dr. Michael Morbius, won’t affect Leto’s previous engagements to the DC Extended Universe – those Joker projects are as safe as houses, then – and, frankly, it’s shaping up to be a totally different film compared to Sony’s other Spidey spinoffs.
How do we know? Well, for one, Jared Leto has already alluded to 2013 Marvel Max series The Man Called Morbius from writer Joe Keating, all but confirming the pic’s gothic leanings.

Venom isn’t even out yet, but Sony’s moving forward on its Spider-Man spinoff movies. As you may’ve heard, comic book horror film Morbius has found its director in the form of Life‘s Daniel Espinosa and playing the titular bloodsucking anti-hero is Jared Leto. This will be his second superhero movie role after portraying the Joker in DC’s Suicide Squad.
After the news was widely reported yesterday, Leto confirmed his casting by posting some cover art featuring Morbius on his Twitter account. The actor shared the cover to the 2013 Marvel Max series titled The Man Called Morbius from writer Joe Keating. He captioned the image with a simple but appropriate emoji: a black heart.
So, what can we gather from Leto’s choice of cover? Well, The Man Called Morbius is a solo series for the so-called Living Vampire that depicts him as a troubled, tragic...
