Say what you will about Jared Leto, but I’m a fan, and with Marvel’s Morbius, they did some perfect casting.
Channeling his performance from Dallas Buyers Club, Leto plays Michael Morbius, a scientist who, in trying to find a cure for a rare blood disease, accidentally transforms himself into a living vampire. Though disgusted by his own bloodlust, he chooses to prey upon criminals he deems unworthy of life.
In this brand new featurette, Leto looks primed for this role and the special effects work on Morbius looks straight out of the comics.
And right in line with the teaser trailer, there’s a little button at the end of this featurette that teases that Morbius is, in fact, part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Following the huge success of Venom: Let There Be Carnage, can Sony weave yet another successful Spider-spinoff when Daniel Espinosa‘s Morbius bites into theaters on January 28, 2022?
