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.

Looks like actor and musician Jared Leto is making the rounds when it comes to big blockbusters and superhero films, as The Hollywood Reporter reports that the Suicide Squad/ Joker actor is setting his sights at a Marvel character - namely Spider-Man ally/ foe Morbius The Living Vampire!

According to the report, Leto is cast in the lead role with "Safe House" director Daniel Espinosa helming the project. No other confirmation has been given yet save for the fact that this is the latest Spider-Man spin-off film that Sony Pictures is looking to adapt and is outside of the deal they made with Marvel Studios to incorporate Spider-Man (played by Tom Holland) into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
