Now that Suicide Squad star Jared Leto has signed up to play the titular character in Morbius the Living Vampire, Sony Pictures is hard at work putting the movie together. As that continues, news on the female lead has been revealed and it turns out that speculation it will be Martine Bancroft was right.
Introduced in the pages of 1971's The Amazing Spider-Man #102, she has a long history which saw her start as Michael Morbius' fiancee before becoming one of his victims and a vampire in her own right. She's then served as both an enemy and ally to her old flame and her involvement could very well shed some light on the other characters who will ultimately be part of this horror-based superhero movie.
Directed by Daniel Espinosa, Morbius is expected to start shooting this November, It doesn't have a release date and many believe that could be because Sony is waiting to see how Venom performs.
