Earlier today, Jared Leto gave us our first behind-the-scenes look at his character in Sony's Morbius The Living Vampire adaptation and now we have word on a potential co-star. It seems the film's plot, which was created by director Daniel Espinosa and screenwriters Burk Sharpless and Matt Sazama, follows an FBI agent trying to track down Dr. Michael Morbius. 

THR reports its the last major role to be cast in the film and Sony wants Tyrese Gibson to fill it.  Rounding out the cast are Matt Smith, Adria Arjona and Jared Harris. Smith portrays the villain, Loxias Crown, while Adria Arjona is the love interest, Martine Bancroft. Harris will play Morbius' mentor.

Production on the film began in London earlier today. There's no word yet on whether Tom Hardy's Venom or Tom Holland's Spider-Man will appear. The film is currently scheduled for release on July 31, 2020.

He was all like: Well, I can't get John Stewart, so I guess this is the next best thing.

@johnnymarr - He's still actively campaigning for it. I saw him talking about it in an interview a few weeks back. There's no way he'll even be considered though, so don't worry haha.

Oh boy Cryrese 😑....

Plus why would you think Tom Holland's Spider-Man would show up??

Well that’s not a casting that fills me with confidence but it’s not likely to ruin a movie either and might help with box office. Otherwise I’m fully onboard. Nice little cast for hopefully a nice little movie.
