After several delays, it looks like Morbius is finally set to hit theaters in January next year. Originally set to be the second movie in then-called Sony’s Universe of Marvel Characters with the July 2020 release date, Morbius endured several delays due to the pandemic.

Now, since Venom 2 was released meanwhile, Morbius will be the third movie in a renamed Sony’s Spider-Man Universe. Based on the comic book anti-hero Morbius, The Living Vampire, the movie stars Jared Leto as Dr. Michael Morbius, a Ph.D. who tried to find a cure for the rare blood disease, but instead turn himself into a living vampire.

Similar to Venom, although Morbius is considered to be Spider-Man’s villain, he was more of an antihero in his storylines, which is probably how this movie will present him as well. IGN named him the 19th greatest Spider-Man villain.

The teaser trailer for the movie was released in January 2020 and it was viewed over 20 million times (only on Sony’s YouTube channel). Almost two years after, we got a new trailer which probably means that Sony has no intention of delaying the film again.

Official trailer:

The official movie’s synopsis:

Biochemist Michael Morbius tries to cure himself of a rare blood disease, but when his experiment goes wrong, he inadvertently infects himself with a form of vampirism instead.

Directed by Daniel Espinosa, the movie is also starring Matt Smith, Adria Arjona, Jared Harris, Al Madrigal, and Tyrese Gibson. Michael Keaton will also reprise the role of Adrian Toomes from Spider-Man: Homecoming.

Morbius is set to hit theaters on January 28, 2022.

He's also a web designer and holds a Master’s degree in general Computer Science from the Faculty of Informatics based in Pula, Croatia. Since 2018, Lukas has worked on several portals writing about movies, TV shows, and video games. He's currently writing articles for two of them: Fiction Horizon and Comic Basics. He also has a YouTube channel in his native language, and the content there is mostly reviewing popular movies and TV shows. Lukas also has an Instagram page where he once used to post fan-made posters he made, which is something he would like to continue working on, as photo and video editing are also some of his passions. Lukas is a big movie lover who is okay with watching any kind of movie. His favorite movie is Michael Curtiz's Casablanca, but he's a loyal follower of Marvel and DC movies, as well as several other blockbuster franchises he's been following for years; Star Wars, Fast & Furious, Mission: Impossible, and James Cameron's Avatar are only some of them. His favorite director is Christopher Nolan, with Quentin Tarantino and Denis Villeneuve as honorable mentions. Lukas is also a big fan of four fantasy multimedia franchises; The Wizarding World, A Song of Ice and Fire, The Witcher, and The Lord of the Rings. He calls them "the four rulers of the fantasy genre." He loves to write about anything spawned from those franchises (books, games, movies...), as well as anything branded with the Marvel or DC logo. Video games and their adaptations are also something he follows faithfully since he's a big fan of story-driven single-player games like Assassin's Creed, The Last of Us, Uncharted, etc. His favorite video game ever is Red Dead Redemption 2.
