Jared Leto talks about his portrayal of Michael Morbius, a medical scientist whose self-experimentation transforms him into a vampire-like superhuman. We're also promised a brand new trailer tomorrow. Morbius is scheduled to arrive in theaters January 28, 2022.
Morbius is a Sony Pictures Entertainment feature film based on the Marvel Comics Spider-Man villain of the same name. Jared Leto stars as Michael Morbius, a scientist studying blood disease who accidentally infects himself with a custom illness. Now he's averse to sunlight, has superhuman strength and an unquenchable thirst for blood. Unlike the undead such as Dracula, Morbius is living vampire, born of science not supernature.
Doctor Who alum Matt Smith plays the film's villain Loxias Crown (aka Hunger). Adria Arjona and Jared Harris are also among the cast.
Morbius is directed by Daniel Espinosa (Life, Easy Money) from a script by Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless (Power Rangers, Gods of Egypt).
