Morbius has ꦦbeen delaꦉyed, again – hopefully for the final time.

The movie will now release on April 1 (that's not an⛄ April Fool, promise) instead of later this month on January 28 because of increases in cases of the Omicron variant. This is the latest in a series of delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic – Morbius was originally meant to hit theaters in July 2020, before shifting to March 2021, Oc🍰tober 2021, and then into 2022.

Jared Leto will star as Michael Morbius, a scientist suffering from a rare blood disease who tries to cure himself but instead becomes a sort-of vampire – he has all the superhuman꧒ abilities (and the thirst for blood), but none of the weaknesses.

Michael Keaton will also appear in the movie – he played antagonist the Vulture in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Spider-Man: Homecoming, and he's thought to be reprising that role in Morbius. A crossover between the two movies seems likely – Spidey, another Marvel/Sony character, appears to exist in this universe, with graffiti spotted in the trailer that refers to💜 the web-slinger as a "murderer".

Direct𒈔ed by Daniel Espinosa, the movie's script was penned by Lost in Space showrunners Matt Sazama and Burk 💖Sharpless. Matt Smith, Adria Arjona, Jared Harris, Al Madrigal, and Tyrese Gibson also star. 

Elsewhere in the Marvel/Sony universe, Tom Hardy, who plays 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Venom (and Eddie Brock) , is also rumored to have a cameo – Espinosa may have given the game away in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:an interview last year.
