Morbius opened back in April to mostly negative reviews, and it wasn't hard to see why. With the movie stuck on the shelf for an awfully long time during the pandemic, it appears Sony Pictures simply had too much time to tinker with the blockbuster. As a result, we were left with another messy Marvel Comics adaptation from the studio that had quite clearly been reshot and edited to death.

However, it seems that transforming Martine Bancroft into a Living Vampire was always the plan.

Concept artist Chris Nichols has shared some of his Morbius designs on ArtStation, revealing early vampire looks for that scientist, Dr. Michael Morbius, and Milo. "[I] really enjoyed working on this one and the artists at Digital Domain did a triumphant job bringing the creatures to life on screen," he says, noting that it was way back in 2019 that he originally worked on the movie.

Morbius looks more in line with his comic book counterpart here, and it's a real shame we didn't get to see more of the anti-hero in this form. Instead, Matt Smith's Milo seemingly received the lion's share of screentime in the second half of the movie, a baffling decision that once again feels like it might have been caused by significant changes to the story made during post-production.

Your guess is as good as ours when it comes to whether we'll see Morbius and Martine again as a sequel now seems unlikely. Sony appears to have something planned for its Marvel Universe, but whether Jared Leto and Adria Arjona will be interested in reprising their respective roles is hard to say.

I gota say I started watching it on Saturday and it wasn't terrible... mind you I fell asleep halfway through. Will pick it up tonight.

Definitely some writing issues, but so far I found it better than both Venom movies.

Some comic characters are boring that are made into movies this was one of them I like parts dying doctor looking for cure becomes monster but not all comic characters are good have there own movie tv show who’s next after kraven ,? stilt man

Do I like vampire parts yeah I do it was good movie not something I can watch more than venom it was probably only thing I like about I still take venom over this venom seems more accurate combined with ultimate venom and lethal protector venom all in one movie

If kraven movie gets dis he’d I will not see it I’m no fan of kraven and morbious I’m no fan I f vulture I like him in movies glad vulture isn’t comic accurate 90 year old guy who needs walker move around but he’s very deadly and agile in air with flying suit

It wasnt as Bad as Venom 2, at the same level from Venom 1 or better which isnt saying much, the Best thing from that movie was the vfx as for these designs they shouldve gone with that Milo one

@bobevanz - Yeah, lets stop pretending practical would have been automatically better. Paactical effects can be bad too.
