MORBIUS THE LIVING VAMPIRE Villain And Female Lead Details Revealed Ahead Of Sony's SDCC Panel
Sony's SDDC panel is about to get underway, but ahead of that we have some early details on a couple of the supporting characters that are currently being cast for the Morbius The Living Vampire movie...
Sony Pictures will hold hold their SDCC panel shortly, where a new trailer for Venom is expected to debut. We're still not sure if any of the other Spidey spin-offs currently in the works will be touched upon, but we have some new details on the Morbius the Living Vampire movie for you guys right here.
According to That Hashtag Show, Jared Leto's blood-ducking antihero will be joined by two other main characters who will likely serve as the film's antagonist and female lead.
The first is a villain who "was once a friend", and the studio is said to be "auditioning males, 30-40 years old for the role with actors Riz Ahmed and Rami Malek held in mind as prototypes for the role." This is almost certainly Emil Nikos, Morbius’ friend and partner from the comics who was also his first victim.
The female lead, meanwhile, is described as an “intelligent, cutthroat businesswoman.” Hardly a lot to go on, but THS speculate that it might be Morbius' one-time fiancee Martine Bancroft, who became s vampire herself in the comics.
There's a chance we might find out more on this during the panel, but in the meantime let us know what you think of these character breakdowns in the comments below.
