Morbius has now been delayed more times than even The New Mutants, but it finally looks set to hit the big screen on April 1. It's still hard to say how good the movie will turn out to be, though the combination of Daniel Espinosa at the helm and Oscar-winner Jared Leto in the lead role has us intrigued.
Despite Spider-Man not factoring into proceedings, there's no reason the Living Vampire can't find success in a solo outing, and the presence of Michael Keaton's Adrian Toomes has upped interest levels significantly (was he inadvertently sent to another Earth when Doctor Strange cast that spell in Spider-Man: No Way Home?). Now, to continue building hype, a cool new poster has been released.
It doesn't reveal anything major, but we do get a fresh look at Morbius' impressive cast. There are also some neat hints at the sort of powers this comic book villain/anti-hero will unleash in his movie.
"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," reads the synopsis. "Dangerously ill with a rare blood disorder and determined to save others suffering his same fate, Dr. Morbius attempts a desperate gamble. While it seems to be a success, a darkness inside him is unleashed. Will good override evil - or will Morbius succumb to his mysterious urges?"
The cast of Morbius also includes, Matt Smith, Adria Arjona, Jared Harris, Al Madrigal, and Tyrese Gibson. The movie was most recently confirmed (we hope) for an April 1 release in theaters.
