MORBIUS Star Jared Harris Reveals New Details About His Mysterious Role In The Marvel Movie

Morbius star Jared Harris has revealed some new details about his role in the Marvel Comics adaptation, teasing his involvement in Michael Morbius' life...and Milo's. More past the jump.

It's no secret that Mad Men and Chernobyl star Jared Harris is part of the Morbius cast, but we finally have some details on who he's playing in the Sony Pictures movie. According to the production notes (shared by CBR), the actor is playing Dr. Nicholas, a mentor to both Michael Morbius and Matt Smith's Milo (who we recently learned in an amalgam of two comic book characters).

It sounds like Harris will play a parental figure to the children who suffer from the rare blood disease that afflicts the Living Vampire, and the actor says, "Dr. Nicholas takes in young Milo and young Michael -- they have a congenital blood-borne disease that is slowly killing them. He runs the facility where we look after people who have these illnesses, when there is little hope of a cure."

We're not sure who this character is based on, though we'd say Dr. Nicholas Bromwell is a likely candidate. Created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko in the pages of Amazing Spider-Man, he was Peter Parker's family doctor...and that's about it! Chances are he's probably an original creation, though, and since Smith is playing a cross between Loxias Crown and Emil Nikos, that wouldn't be a surprise. 

A new trailer for Morbius is set to be released later today, so we're hoping it reveals even more about the Living Vampire's big screen debut.

After multiple release date delays, reshoots took place last year, so we're anticipating some big changes to the movie in the wake of Spider-Man: No Way Home. That might explain whatever the deal is with Adrian Toomes being in another reality, anyway, and will hopefully reveal whether Morbius' world has a Spider-Man in the wake of all that Multiversal Madness. 

Morbius is set to be released exclusively in theaters on April 1.

Both Morbius and Venom are in the Andrew Garfield Universe with Michael Keaton Vulture being a variant. If Morbius is successful at box office then Leto will get to play a variant in the mainstream MCU. Andre Garfield will get another Spiderman movie to finish off his trilogy which will play over two movies the second one being Venom 3 to conclude then both their trilogy as surely Venom 3 won’t be another symbiotic movie.
