Jared Leto's living vampire finally returns in the new trailer for Morbius
After many, many delays, Jared Leto's Marvel movie Morbius is back with a new trailer
It’s somewhat stunning to think about now, but the first trailer for Morbius—Jared Leto’s debut Marvel movie after his damaged visit to the DC universe in Suicide Squad—came out nearly two years ago, just a few months before the pandemic turned us all into living vampires. Also somewhat stunning: Michael Keaton was in that trailer, teasing a tangible connection between the Sony Spidey-adjacent movies and the actual Marvel Cinematic Universe looong before Venom: Let There Be Carnage made that connection even more tangible in its post-credits scene.
Morbius has been delayed a lot since then, but now it’s finally coming out and it finally has a brand new trailer (which you can see below). The basic setup for this version of the Morbius character is that he’s a scientist researching some deadly condition that is gradually killing him. With the help of Jared Harris, he develops a cure that gives him super strength, echolocation, and an unquenchable thirst for blood. Basically, it turns him into a vampire, but he’s not dead, so he’s what they call a living vampire (classic comic book logic).
