Sony Pictures has delayed Morbius from January 28, 2022, to April 1, 2022.
Morbius stars Jared Leto as the anti-hero Dr. Michael Morbius. After being diagnosed with a rare blood disorder, he is determined to save himself and others and, while he seems to have found a cure, it has come at a horrible price and “a darkness inside him is unleashed.”
Morbius is no stranger to delays, as the Marvel and Sony film was originally set to be released in theaters on July 31, 2020. Thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, Morbius was delayed from March 2021 to October 2021 to January 21, 2022, to January 28, 2022, and now, to April 1, 2022.
Life’s Daniel Espinosa is directing Morbius, with Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless leading the screen story and screenplay. Alongside Leto, Matt Smith, Adria Arjona, Jared Harris, Al Magrigal, and Tyrese Gibson are part of the cast.
A big question many have is which universe Morbius is actually part of. This question only grew following the second Morbius trailer that had two mentions of Venom, Oscorp Tower, The Daily Bugle, Spider-Man graffiti, and even an appearance by Michael Keaton’s Vulture – who is part of the MCU via Spider-Man: Homecoming.
