The plot of the next superhero film of the Cinematic Universe is based on the story of a scientist (Jared Leto) who suffers from a rare blood disease all his life. Seeking a cure, he combines electroshock therapy with bats to create a drug that eventually turns him into a vampire. Obsessed with the emerging thirst for human blood, he decides that he will not kill innocent people, but will satisfy his hunger with the blood of criminals and thereby administer justice.
Morbius is a co-adaptation of Marvel Comics and Sony Pictures. The premiere of the film in Russia will take place on January 20, 2022.
Initially, the film adaptation of the comic by Daniel Espinosa was supposed to be released on July 31, 2020, but since then it has changed the premiere date three times. In addition to Leto, Matt Smith, Adria Arjona, Jared Harris and Tyrese Gibson played the main roles in the fantasy horror.
Jared Leto publicly shaved his beard for the role of chemist Michael Morbius, who, as a result of a bad experience, turned into a new species of vampire, and tried to keep fans informed throughout the filming process.
Sony Marvel Universe
While "Spider" is busy with Marvel, Sony studio is working on the development of its own cinematic universe, built around a creeping superhero. Success "Venom " (2018), which grossed more than $ 800 million at the box office despite low critical ratings, gives bosses hope thatthe living vampire Morbius will become one of the hype antiheroes of 2022. A sequel is currently in production"Venoma" and directorRuben Fleischer I'm sure everything goes to the crossover of the characters Marvel and Sonya.
Probably, the border between the franchises can overcome the hero's cameoTom Hardy and a cameo by Jay Jonah Jameson to be played againJ.K.Simmons… Characters may flicker into"Morbius", for, according to rumors, a jump in time, which occurred due to events"Avengers: Endgame", applies to the plot of the novelty. If the version of insiders is confirmed, then Jameson's participation in the upcoming horror movie will actually unite the two comic universes and allow Sony to make an adaptation where classic opponents will meet on the screen: Peter Parker and Venom.
The plot of the film and comics
From an ordinary enemy of Spider-Man to a hero - this is the path made by Michael Morbius, a professor of biochemistry suffering from a rare blood disease since childhood, who made his debut in The Amazing Spider-Man comic in 1971. The living vampire was not particularly well-known and at times was forgotten, because the character behaved like a typical undead - he was driven by his own hunger, but in 1994 he was shown in the animated series "Spider-Man" as a fellow student of Parker and off we go. Morbius more than once united with other antiheroes for the sake of confronting a serious evil, which added to his popularity. The main motivation of the antihero has always been the search for a cure for his hereditary disease.
According to the plot of the film, a scientist is looking for salvation from death in an experimental serum made from the blood of bats. However, diseased cells that have reacted with the drug not only heal Michael, but also change the professor's body: he turns into a bloodthirsty monster with incredible abilities, eternal thirst and problems with the law.
Production

It was the actor who tipped the scales in the direction of the director of thrillers"Living" and"Number 44" Daniela Espinosa.
Screenwriters"Power Rangers" - Burke Sharpless and Matt Sazama signed on to work on the lyrics, and Avi Arad, Matthew Tolmak and Lucas Foster are producing the blockbuster.
