MORBIUS: A Certain Character Has Reportedly Been Cut From The Movie - SPOILERS

Morbius doesn't hit theaters until April 1 (March 31 in The UK and Ireland), but early screenings took place in a few select locations over the weekend, and some intriguing details have now found their way online.

Spoilers for Morbius follow.

According to several sources, Adrian Toomes, aka The Vulture, does not actually appear in the movie despite featuring in the trailers. The villain does reportedly show up in the film's post-credits scenes (there are two, apparently), but the sequences are said to be completely different to those shots from the promos.

If this is accurate, Sony Pictures clearly made some significant changes to the movie pretty late in the game. Vulture was never going to be a huge part of the plot, anyway, but his removal does suggest that the studio decided to make Morbius more standalone in nature by playing down its connection/ties to the Spider-Man franchise.

We've also been made aware of a few reactions to the movie, and... yeah, keep an eye out for more when the embargo lifts on March 30!

"One of Marvel's most compelling and conflicted characters comes to the big screen as Oscar winner Jared Leto transforms into the enigmatic antihero Michael Morbius. Dangerously ill with a rare blood disorder and determined to save others suffering his same fate, Dr. Morbius attempts a desperate gamble. While at first it seems to be a radical success, a darkness inside him is unleashed. Will good override evil - or will Morbius succumb to his mysterious new urges?"

The cast of Morbius includes Jared Leto, Matt Smith, Jared Harris, Al Madrigal, Tyrese Gibson, and Michael Keaton.

I don't know why, but part of me suspects that years from now we'll learn this was a game of chicken that Sony would constantly be playing with Marvel. Like technically the Spider-Man movies are still their's at the end of the day and they can creatively do whatever they want in these movies. So like, technically they could have Adrian Toomes in there and say this is connected to the MCU by extension, simply because they feel like it. They have that leverage now.

So I wonder if it's a behind the scenes business tactic where Sony wants something else and is threatening to taint the MCU by making some incoherent tie-in shit that will confuse audiences.

I mean after what MS did with Venom at the end of NWH, Sony pushing these Multiverse shenanigans in their whatever bs name they given to these movies "universe", is all useless imo. Feige will just take what he needs do an alley oop with it and send the rest back lol

you do you Sony.

One of my friends texted me and said we should see this when it came out. I said absolutely not. There is no way I will give my money to something that will be in the bargain bin blu ray section in 5 years.

Please make these stop. No one wants this. No one wants Kraven. No one cares. Stop Sony.

@itzayaboy - Such an internet thing to say “no one cares/wants this” as if one speaks for everyone.
