Seven months after Sony announced that Morbius was on the way, Jared Leto was cast in the eponymous role.
If one unofficial plot description is to be believed, Leto’s Morbius will use his new abilities to prey on criminals he deems are unworthy to live, thus putting him in the anti-hero mold like Venom.
Although no specific details about Leto’s version of Morbius the Living Vampire have been revealed yet, his origin story is expected to unfold similarly to his comic book counterpart’s.
His other acting credits include Requiem for a Dream, Lord of War, Dallas Buyers Club and Blade Runner 2049.
