The Living Vampire Movie Cast, Release Date, Story, And News

Morbius joins Spider-Man and Venom in Sony's Marvel universe. Sony Pictures seems ready to take a page from Marvel Studios' playbook by expanding their own Universe of Marvel Characters beyond the big screen and into the realm of television as they convert their Silver & Black project into a TV series. At one point in the trailer, we see Jared Leto's Michael Morbius walking through an alley in an orange jumpsuit.

Regarding the questioning, if what Tyrese had to say might be right or wrong, Sony actually owns the film rights to all the Spider-Man and related characters (i.e. Venom, Carnage, Morbius, etc.) and not Marvel Studios, which basically licenses the use of Spidey from Sony.

Morbius appears as a primary character and a boss in the Wii , PS2 and PSP versions of the Spider-Man 3 game, voiced by Sean Donnellan. So, instead, he took his business to Sony to bring a very different comic book character to life. We knew the Spider-Man villain would get his own movie in 2020 and Jared Leto had been cast The Marvel Cinematic Universe in the title role.

A quick rundown of Morbius' pretty incredible cast: There's Adria Arjona (seen recently in 6 Underground ) as Morbius' fiancee; Matt Smith in his first superhero movie as Loxias Crown, a friend of Morbius' suffering the same blood disease; Tyrese Gibson as FBI agent Simon Stroud; and Jared Harris ( Mad Men , The Crown , The Expanse , Chernobyl and much more) as Morbius' mentor.

There's no better example than Sony's Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, which boldly killed off the familiar Spider-Mna and filled the screen with otherworldly alternates (a female Spidey, an anime Spidey, a mid-life crisis Spidey, a talking-pig Spidey, etc.) and won an Oscar by somehow pulling the whole thing off.

However, one such experiment turns him into a living vampire”, who has all the basic traits of vampire bats — flight, aversion to sunlight, and of course a hunger for blood — without any of the supernatural weaknesses commonly associated with vampires.
