About ‘Morbius’
Michael Morbius and his surrogate brother Milo share a blood disease that has never been cured. As a doctor, Michael dedicates his entire life to finding a cure for the disease, even turning to illegal genetic experiments involving vampire bats. His research leads him to the cure, but the solution comes with monstrous side effects: it turns the recipient into a living vampire, with superhuman strength, speed, reflexes, and the echolocation powers of a bat. Morbius refuses to give Milo the cure, but when Milo steals it and kills an innocent nurse due to his vampiric bloodlust, Michael realizes he must do whatever he can to stop him.
Morbius
Dangerously ill with a rare blood disorder, and determined to save others suffering his same fate, Dr. Michael Morbius (Jared Leto) attempts a desperate gamble. What at first appears to be a radical success soon reveals itself to be a remedy potentially worse than the disease.
The introduction of Marvel’s vampire character opens the door for a potential crossover with the upcoming “Blade” series starring Mahershala Ali.
The film also stars Matt Smith, Adria Arjona, Jared Harris, Al Madrigal, and Tyrese Gibson.
“Morbius” saw a tortured road through production, release, and re-release. A popular meme campaign around the film led Sony to put the film back into theaters in June 2022, which grossed approximately $299 per screening. Despite its unusual reception, Sony is still planning to use “Morbius” to continue building its own cinematic universe around Spider-Man and his rogues gallery.
