According to The Wrap, actor Jared Harris has joined the cast of the Marvel vampire feature alongside Jared Leto, Matt Smith and the previously announced Adria Arjona.
Morbius previously appeared on TV in Spider-Man: The Animated Series and Ultimate Spider-Man Vs The Sinister Six, and was originally earmarked to make his film debut in Blade until his cameo was deleted and plans to make him the villain in Blade II scrapped.
Morbius is Sony’s adaptation of the Marvel anti-hero Morbius the Living Vampire.
The character fought Spider-Man several times, though eventually earned several of his own books where he had a more heroic arc.
