Sony is developing a number of Spider-Man spinoff movies separate to the Marvel Cinematic Universe and another has now been added to the list in the form of Morbius the Living Vampire. The screenplay for the movie was penned by the team of Burk Sharpless and Matt Sazama, two of the writers of Power Rangers, a movie which was met with tepid reviews when it was released earlier this year.
That's already been submitted to the studio after being developed in secret so assuming Sony is happy with it (I mean, they were happy with The Amazing Spider-Man 2, so they probably will be), we can probably expect to hear news on a director shortly. The character first appeared in Amazing Spider-Man #101, the first issue of the long-running series which wasn't actually written by Stan Lee.
In the comics, Dr. Michael Morbius had a rare blood disease and it was when he attempted to cure himself that he was given superpowers alongside fangs and a thirst for blood. It's unknown what form Sony's movie will take or whether or not Spider-Man will exist in this world. In case you're getting too excited, though, Sharpless and Sazama also wrote Dracula Untold and The Last Witch Hunter.
