Jared Leto teases start of production on Sony’s Morbius, the Living Vampire

February 12, 2019 by Gary Collinson

After a successful launch of ‘Sony’s Universe of Marvel Characters’ with last year’s box office smash Venom, the studio is gearing up to start production on the second instalment of its shared Spider-Man(less) universe, with Jared Leto teasing on Instagram that he has arrived in London ready to start shooting the Morbius, the Living Vampire movie.

Created by Roy Thomas and Gil Kane, Dr. Michael Morbius is a biochemist who becomes inflicted with a form of vampirism after attempting to cure himself of a rare blood disease, taking on the mantle of Morbius, the Living Vampire.

The character made his debut in The Amazing Spider-Man #101 back in 1963 and was originally a tragic and sympathetic enemy of Spidey, although much like Venom, he has since often been portrayed as an antihero.

Daniel Espinosa (Safe House) is directing Morbius from a script by Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless (Lost in Space), while the cast includes Jared Leto (Suicide Squad) in the title role alongside Adria Arjona (Pacific Rim Uprising) as Martine Bancroft and Matt Smith (Doctor Who) in an as-yet-unrevealed role.

Morbius, the Living Vampire is set for release on July 31st 2020.
