This coming January will see Sony Pictures and Marvel expand the Spider-Man movies universe with another new entry, as a doctor who gains vampire abilities and walks the line between good and evil in Morbius - based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name and starring Jared Leto in the titular role.

MORBIUS - Official Trailer (HD)
Morbius will be released in theaters this January.
Looks like moviegoers and comic book fans will have to be patient and understanding of the latest string of film delays coming their way due to the ongoing global pandemic, as Variety reports that "Morbius" - the Spider-Man movie spin-off flick starring Jared Leto as scientist turned vampire Michael Morbius, has been delayed by Sony Pictures from its March 19 release date to October 8 in the US. While this is certainly disappointing to many, it's understandable and dependent if the global situation improves - as many theaters worldwide still remain closed to curb the spread of the coronavirus.
Released almost exactly a year ago this time, here's the first teaser trailer for the film.

Morbius is directed by Daniel Espinosa and also stars Matt Smith, Jared Harris, and Tyrese Gibson.
It's an unfortunate time for those who were looking forward to some new films in 2020, as concerns over the corona virus pandemic has understandably derailed plans and delayed movies as theaters close to promote "social distancing" and communities go into quarantine/ lockdown to prevent more cases from happening. With several other studios already announcing delays of highly anticipated blockbuster films like "No Time To Die" and "Black Widow", Sony Pictures has joined in to delay the likes of "Morbius", "Ghostbusters: Afterlife", production on the "Uncharted" film as well as the untitled Spider-Man spinoff - sending them all to a 2021 release window as a result.
Giving viewers another look at his new comic book movie role that's a spin-off of Sony's Spider-Man movies, Comic Con Magazine (via Comic Book.com) has a new poster up for "Morbius" - which features Jared Leto playing the titular character of Michael Morbius and showing a glimpse of his vampiric alter ego just waiting to emerge from the darkness.
One of the most anticipated films of the year finally gets its very first teaser, as Sony Pictures, Columbia Pictures, and Marvel present actor and musician Jared Leto as Michael Morbius - better known to Spider-Man and Marvel Comics fans as the human alter ego of Morbius - The Living Vampire!
In this brand new spin-off from the Spider-Man Movies, Michael Morbius is a man on a mission - determined to find a cure for a rare blood disease he has had since he was a child. Desperate and ill, Morbius is willing to search to the ends of the Earth and pay any price to find a cure for what afflicts him and those with similar cases. However what he finds, and subjects himself to, initially is successful - only to become something far worse than what initially afflicted him in the first place.
Here’s the trailer - with a few neat surprises and easter eggs that Spider-Man and even batty fans will find intreresting!
“Morbius” Trailer
Morbius will be released in July 2020 by Columbia Pictures Philippines.
Showing fans and viewers alike that he is quite busy with his next project that happens to be a Sony Marvel movie, Academy Award winning actor and musician Jared Leto has shared via his Instagramand Facebook page a new look at himself on the set of "Morbius" - the Spider-Man spinoff film that follows on the heels of "Venom" and this time takes a look at the origins of the sometimes ally/ adversary of our friendly neighborhood wallcrawler. Leto plays the lead in Michael Morbius - who becomes afflicted with a form of Vampirism after experimenting on himself to try and cure a rare blood disease.
Looks like the Marvel films under Sony are turning up the heat quite literally when it comes to moving forward with their Spider-Man spinoff films, as Variety reports that two films have been dated - and could likely be the Morbius film starring Jared Leto and the planned Venom sequel with Tom Hardy returning in the titular role have been given release dates in 2020.
With Venom earning $570 Million worldwide, a sequel to the "Lethal Protector" was inevitable, and Sony is eyeing a film in October 2, 2020 that could likely be "Venom 2" - since Venom opened in theaters this year on the same month. Meanwhile, July 10, 2020's schedule opened up - and that could be for "Morbius" - another Spider-Man villain/ anti-hero that will be getting his own spin-off and has Jared Leto playing the role of The Living Vampire.
