Sony Pictures and Marvel released Tuesday a new trailer for Jared Leto’s highly-anticipated movie “Morbius”.
The movie features Leto as Dr. Michael Morbius, a biochemist who becomes a vampire after attempting to cure himself of a rare blood disease.
In the trailer, the vampire embarks on a journey to a mysterious island to find a cure to cure his ailment, only to go missing for two months and return with vampire powers.
It also featured some connections to Sony’s fellow Spider-Man movies, including a cameo by Michael Keaton, who played the Vulture in “Spider-Man: Homecoming”, and a Venom namedrop.
The symbiote villain, played by Tom Hardy, teased a multiverse crossover in the post-credits scene of “Venom: Let There Be Carnage”.

The movie also stars Adria Arjona, Matt Smith, Tyrese Gibson, Jared Harris, Al Madrigal, and Tyrese Gibson.
Arjona will play the villain’s fiancee, Martine Bancroft while Smith will portray Loxias Crown, a man with the same blood disease as Morbius, and Harris is slated to play the mentor of Morbius.
Morbius had his first appearance in Marvel comics in the 1971 issue of “The Amazing Spider-Man”.
The villain was brought back in the 1992 series, “Morbius, the Living Vampire”, which produced 32 issues before ending in 1995.
In a recent interview, Leto talked about his new role, saying: “He is brilliant, he is strong, he has got some unique powers, but his powers seem to be out of his control,".
“I played Morbius at his most frail and his most monstrous,” he added.
The movie is directed by Daniel Espinosa, written by Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless, and produced by “Spider-Man” producer Avi Arad, Matt Tolmach, and Lucas Foster.
“Morbius” is set to debut on Jan. 28, 2022.
