Who is Morbius? Explains Jared Leto & # 39; s Spider-Man spinoff, he explained

Jared Leto traded his own Suicide Squad The Joker has made himself something different, as evidenced in the first trailer for Tony Morbius, centered around an anti-Spider-Man of the same name. The actor is seen climbing the walls, studying the stars and thirsting for blood.

But one important difference between Morbius and vampires: He is the living one vampire. That is, he mistakenly gave himself a vampire-like power through science rather than a vampire bite. This may seem like a stupid split – but without it, the character might never have been created.

Morbius the Living Vampire (winner of the Mark Nobel Prize, Michael Morbius, Ph.D. and M.D.) was introduced in the year 1971 & # 39; s Strange Spider-Man # 101. Morbius was born with a rare blood disorder and it was his great desire for treatment that enabled him to develop great strength and inclination, including superhuman strength and stamina, improved healing, and a yearning for human blood.

a series, standing in front of a cross, with no effect on him. Because, you know, not a real vampire.

He had to do it with science because of the limited content standards of American comics. The 1971 Comedy Code only vampires (and other such monsters) were allowed in the classical tradition such as Frankenstein, Dracula, and other literary works. Chemical experiments on natural technology, put him on the list of "Spider-Man villains & # 39; the scientists that were originally in their experiments" together with Doctor Octopus and the Lizard.

Although Morbius first became a citizen, he switched to an additional incarnation of subsequent comics. He has since appeared in a series of animated Spider-Man and video games. This completely black and edgy anti-hero looks like a natural choice for Leo, who's inside 2006 was awarded the Prince of Darkness Award.

That Morbius will be a more compelling, more driven work than Leto & # 39; s Joker is yet to be seen. But at least there was a big shock from the new trailer – a look from Michael Keaton connects the film directly to 2017 Spider-Man: Coming home. Morbius, however far away, is part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Morbius was announced in November 2017, and was written by Burk Sharpless and Matt Sazama (behind the Netflix remake of Lost in Time), directed by Daniel Espinosa (Safe house), and produced by Avid Arad and Matt Tolmach with Lucas Foster. It hits theaters on July 31, 2020.
