Out of all of the superheroes in the Marvel universe, Spider-Man's lineup of villains and antiheroes is perhaps the most eclectic and intriguing collection of characters. Following the box office successes of Sony's Venom and Venom: Let There Be Carnage, the studio is spotlighting another notable name in Spider-Man's cinematic universe with the new trailer for Morbius ahead of its theatrical release on January 28th.
Directed by Daniel Espinosa from a screen story and screenplay by Matt Sazama & Burk Sharpless (based on the Marvel Comics character), Morbius stars Jared Leto, Matt Smith, Adria Arjona, Jared Harris, Al Madrigal, and Tyrese Gibson.
For those unfamiliar with the character, Morbius the Living Vampire, aka Dr. Michael Morbius, is a scientist who accidentally transformed himself into a bloodthirsty creature of the night. Created by Roy Thomas and Gil Kane, Morbius made his paneled page debut in Amazing Spider-Man #101.
Raised on a steady diet of R.L. Stine’s Goosebumps books and Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Derek has been fascinated with fear since he first saw ForeverWare being used on an episode of Eerie, Indiana.
When he’s not writing about horror as the Senior News Reporter for Daily Dead, Derek can be found daydreaming about the Santa Carla Boardwalk from The Lost Boys or reading Stephen King and Brian Keene novels.
