Morbius Trailer Proves Vampires Can Be Scary And Not Sparkly
<p>Sony is pushing forward with its Marvel-character universe that has nothing to do with the MCU. 2018's Venom raked in over $850 million globally. Now, the second installment in Sony's Marvel franchise is Morbius, starring Jared Leto as the titular vampire. We got a look at the character over the weekend through <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/photo-of-jared-leto-as-marvel-anti-hero-morbius-le/1100-6472681/">a leaked photo</a>, but now the <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/gallery/morbius-trailer-everything-you-missed-in-sonys-new/2900-3349/">first trailer</a> has been released.</p><p>In the new trailer, which you can check out below, Leto plays Dr. Michael Morbius, a biochemist who learned he had a rare blood disease. He tries to heal himself but ultimately ends up turning him into a vampire, gaining fantastic abilities, at a cost: he has a need to feed on human blood.</p><div data-embed-type="video" data-src="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLMBLuGJTsA" data-width="100%" data-height="100%"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/jLMBLuGJTsA" width="100%" height="100%" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen></iframe></div><p>The living vampire Morbius made his Marvel Comics debut back in 1971 appearing in Amazing Spider-Man #101.
