With Silver & Black split into two movies and a number of other projects in various stages of development, Venom producer Matt Tolmach has confirmed that we'll be hearing more about Morbius the Living Vampire "soon." He also says that, "We’re obviously working on Morbius now. That’s sort of next up for us." In other words, it will probably go into production within a matter of months.

The producer also said we should expect "awesomeness" from Academy Award-winning actor and Suicide Squad star Jared Leto when he takes on the role of Morbius, promising that we'll get "a similar level of intensity and charisma and devotion to the character" to his work as The Joker. Arad, meanwhile, added: that Leto loves the character, so he's clearly going to try to do him justice. 
 
No further details were offered but the story of Michael Morbius definitely has some potential and it will hopefully avoid heading down the underwhelming horror/action route of movies like The Mummy and Dracula Untold. Are you excited to see Morbius the Living Vampire brought to the big screen? As always, be sure to let us know your thoughts on that and these remarks in the comments section.

I don't know about anyone else but I really don't trust those guys to make good movies.

"We’re obviously working on Morbius now."



Not after Venom underperforms. Even if Venom does well, there's no way their generic vampire movie could ever do well.

He loves the character? Well he loved the joker character too so I wonder if he will send used condoms to the rest of the cast this time as well.

Morbius kinda makes sense for a solo movie. I mean, he's basically a scientist who turns into a vampire after an accident.

That idea alone could make a full length movie. So I say go for it. It's not like the MCU was gonna use Morbius anyway (too dark).
