Sony Working On Spider-Man Villain Morbius Spinoff Movie

With Sony in the middle of production of a Spider-Man spinoff movie, Venom, early details on another villain movie based on Morbius The Living Vampire, have been revealed by the Hollywood Reporter.

The script has been written by Burk Sharpless and Matt Sazama, who worked on the recent Power Rangers movie.

Sony have been working on their own shared Marvel universe, but it’s unclear if these movies will be part of the larger Cinematic Universe or if it will cross over with Tom Holland’s Spider-Man.

Morbius, the Living Vampire, is a scientist named Dr. Michael Morbius and was created by writer Roy Thomas and originally designed by penciler Gil Kane, the character first appeared as an antagonist in The Amazing Spider-Man #101 (Oct. 1971). Morbius went on to become a heroic, tragically flawed protagonist in his own series and other titles. Morbius is a man suffering from vampiric abilities and physical traits resulting from a biochemical experiment, as opposed to supernatural means.
