In a landscape where the MCU has dominated for over 10 years and every blockbuster looks and feels increasingly the same, I welcome the next chapter of this refreshingly bizarre franchise. But most importantly, Morbius promises to begin tying together the disparate threads of Sony’s Spider-Man cinematic universe into a gleaming beacon of trash.
Every trailer we’ve seen looks like a movie that was filmed in the late 90s and also absolute gibberish. Michael Morbius is a doctor who is also a vampire, but none of that matters. Morbius looks to continue this fine tradition by building a movie around a D-list Spider-Man villain and casting a profusely Jesus-faced Jared Leto to portray him. Rather than trying to go toe-to-toe with Marvel’s MCU, they’ve made the bold decision to pump out pulpy schlock fueled by frenetic weirdness and designed to be consumed by 13-year-old children reading drug store comic books while their moms pick up a prescription. Sony has created its own cinematic universe of 90s trash comics with Venom and its illustrious sequel Venom: Let There Be Woody Harrelson, and I am beyond excited to see this franchise continue.
Cast: Jared Leto, Matt Smith, Adria Arjona, Jared Harris, Tyrese Gibson
