Did Sony Just Confirm Tony Stark's Existence In the Venom Movie Universe?

Image
For comic book movie fans, recent months have been both the best of times and the worst of times. Spider-Man: No Way Home was a gift in that it not only completed Tom Holland's first trilogy but also united all three of cinema's live-action Spideys on the big screen. But then, as a chaser to Marvel and Sony's Multiversal web-slinging epic - and as a preview of what Sony has planned for its adjacent Venom Universe - the latter studio presented Marvel fans with  Morbius . Starring Jared Leto as the good-hearted doctor turned vampire, Morbius finally made its theatrical debut on April Fools' Day. While it was intended to be Sony's next film in its growing universe, Morbius largely disappointed audiences and drastically lowered expectations for the studio's future plans. ADVERTISEMENT While both fans and critics alike have their grievances with  Morbius ' editing, story, and some of its performances, one of the biggest objectio...

Morbius’ Post-Credits Scenes Just Made Marvel History

Image
Marvel fans across the world are conflicted about their feelings toward the latest entry into the Sony Spider-Man Universe.  Morbius  received less than stellar reviews andhas one of the lowest cinema scores in Marvel movie history. From production to performance to story, the Marvel faithful are having a hard time wrapping their heads around the Jared Leto-led film. And just when the movie came to a close,  Morbius  managed to make Marvel history with the post-credits scenes. The situation between Sony and Disney, the SSU and MCU, and what is canon in each has been volatile at best. While there is a specific lack of world-building between the credits of  Morbius , the post-credits scenes are arguably the most consequential deserts fans have ever seen, especially when it pertains to the Sony Spider-Man Universe.  ADVERTISEMENT There is a lot to talk about surrounding the context of these two scenes, but it is the connectivity between the two that is hist...

Morbius 2? Marvel Actress Teases Exciting Future In Spider-Man Universe

Image
Morbius  has hit theaters worldwide and quickly became the butt of plenty of jokes at the film's expense. The movie continues a disappointing trend of Sony Spider-Man-adjacent films without including the webhead himself. Expect this time, Sony's efforts are not proving profitable at the box office like the past two  Venom  films. This has left the Jared Leto-led flick in a hard spot. With  Venom,  Sony was almost forced to make a sequel, as the project made a billion dollars. At least early on, that does not look to be the case with  Morbius .  ADVERTISEMENT Sony seems to have extensive plans in its Spider-Man Universe with a  Kraven  and  Madame Web  film on the way. Also,  Morbius itself starts to lay the building blocks for a Sinister Six film.  So will this blood-sucking blockbuster get a sequel, or will this be the last fans see of Jared Leto's vampiric villain? Well, one of the movie's stars addressed the potential of a  Morbius   ...

Marvel's Morbius Director Reacts to Awful Reviews

Image
Sony Pictures just released the next step in its Spider-Man Universe with Jared Leto's  Morbius . The film had previously been hit with multiple delays, including one likely caused by the extreme success of  Spider-Man: No Way Home . But fear not, it's finally here, and it's—well, not great, at least according to those who have seen it thus far.  Many have pointed out the dated feel of the movie, lackluster visual effects, and a truly baffling set of post-credits scenes. Even Sony's previous outing,  Venom: Let There Be Carnage , wasn't torn apart nearly as badly as the Living Vampire has been; its Rotten Tomatoes score wasn't anything to be proud of either. ADVERTISEMENT Given the vocal outrage, it's hard not to wonder what the man behind the project thinks about everything being said. Thankfully, the director behind  Morbius  sat down and revealed exactly what he thinks of all the words being thrown his way.  Morbius' D...

Morbius Director Reveals Details on Michael Keaton's Vulture Deleted Scene

Image
After multiple delays, Morbius , Sony's latest addition to its Spider-Man Universe, has finally arrived in theaters. Whether fans wish it had is another question. While audiences have their issues with the film's plot and quality, much of the outcry stems from the film's misleading promotional campaign and the use of Michael Keaton's Vulture from Spider-Man: Homecoming .  Following  Venom and Venom: Let There Be Carnage , Morbius was intended to be the third installment in Sony's MCU adjacent Spider-Man Universe. When delays led to the project releasing after Spider-Man: No Way Home , fans were curious to see how the studio would continue to handle the existence of Multiversal Spideys in the following film.  ADVERTISEMENT This intrigue was only heightened by the fact Morbius ' trailer featured references to both Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield's Spider-Man franchises, as well as a clip of Michael Keaton as Adrian Toomes or...

Morbius Director Teases Norman Osborn Crossover Hopes

Image
Sony Pictures has long been hard at work on creating its own interconnected universe. First with  Venom , and then  Venom: Let There Be Carnage ; this weekend, a new anti-hero joins the family: Morbius . Jared Leto perfectly embodies the lead character, bringing to life an intense, touching, and visually entertaining comic book epic. Audiences will no doubt take to the Living Vampire quickly—don't be surprised if Michael Morbius becomes a household name.  If most of what was read in the above paragraph felt incorrect, well, that's because it was. In fact,  Morbius  is getting destroyed by both critics and fans alike. Nearly every aspect of the film has been criticized, with many claiming the movie belongs in the early 2000s. The project even ended up getting one of the lowest CinemaScores to date, sitting above only  Fan4stic . ADVERTISEMENT One of the biggest points of contention about the film was its post-credits scenes involving Michael Keato...

Morbius Receives Second-Worst Audience Score Ever for a Marvel Movie

Image
Morbius  has finally arrived in theaters and things already don't appear to be going well. Jared Leto's vampire debut opened to the worst Thursday night box office haul since  The New Mutants , which followed weeks of critical negativity and signs of the same from general audiences. Despite that,  Morbius  still managed to earn itself a mediocre 67% Rotten Tomatoes audience score at the time of writing. Sony's Spider-Man Universe has always struggled to land with critics, as was proven by the Rotten status given to both  Venom  movies, and yet they seemed to land well with audiences. Tom Hardy's Symbiote blockbusters have proven popular among fans, with  Venom  and  Venom: Let There Be Carnage  raking in an impressive box office haul, leading to plans for a third installment. ADVERTISEMENT Unfortunately, the same doesn't seem to be true for  Morbius  as it has received a less-than-stellar audience rating. Morbius Ranks Second-Worst i...

How Morbius' Post-Credits Scene Hurts the MCU

Image
After an almost comical amount of delays, Sony Pictures’  Morbius  has finally hit theaters worldwide. The film sees Jared Leto’s titular character accidentally become a vampire after trying to cure himself of his rare blood disease. It's the next installment in Sony's Universe of Spider-Man characters, following their previous entry in  Venom: Let There Be Carnage . But was Sony successful in launching another big franchise like  Venom ? Well, if the reviews and reactions are anything to go by, the answer is a solid no. While Tom Hardy’s original project also didn’t get the best critical praise, that franchise had the benefit of having an already immensely popular character— Morbius  does not. ADVERTISEMENT To make the whole situation even worse, the film included two post-credits scenes that left many fans worldwide frustrated and confused. Warning - the rest of this article contains spoilers for  Morbius . Shortly after the credits hit the s...

Morbius Director Explains Tobey Maguire's Deleted Spider-Man Easter Egg

Image
Morbius  is finally in theaters after numerous delays, a number of trailers, and more than a few confusing quotes from the film's cast and crew. The movie follows Jared Leto's Michael Morbius, a scientist who, in an attempt to cure his blood disease, infects himself with a form of vampirism. The critical reception has been less than stellar for the film, and early box office returns are grim, to say the least.  The blood-sucking epic serves as Sony's latest stab at their own Spider-Man universe. Thus far, the webhead himself has not shown up in any of the Sony Spider-Man Universe films (aside from Tom Holland's brief moment in the post-credit scene of  Venom: Let there be Carnage ). ADVERTISEMENT But there have been hints pointing to the wall-crawler in  Morbius'  multiple trailers. Whether it was the Oscorp logo from  The Amazing Spider-Man , Micheal Keaton's Vulture from  Spider-Man: Homecoming , or Tobey Maguire's web-sling...

Morbius Suffers From Worst Marvel Opening Since New Mutants

Image
While the canon MCU won’t return to theaters for a few more weeks, Sony is now making its mark on the Marvel world with Jared Leto’s Morbius opening on the big screen. Having finally arrived after two years of delays dating back to the start of the pandemic, Jared Leto’s Marvel debut is certainly making its mark on viewers, and it's not a good one. Ahead of its debut, the early critic reviews for Morbius spelled potential disaster for Sony’s latest addition to its Spider-Man Universe, which came on top of it being delayed an unprecedented six times. Even considering these release troubles stemming from the pandemic, the consensus from viewers so far is that it’s just not a good movie. ADVERTISEMENT In terms of success at the box office, Marvel Studios is one of the biggest reasons theaters are thriving once again, especially after Sony and Marvel's Spider-Man: No Way Home broke records regularly in its run. However, Morbius doesn't appear...

Morbius Director Had to Hide Avengers: Endgame Spoilers

Image
After years of waiting through endless delays,  Morbius  is finally right around the corner. Scripting work began almost five years ago in November 2017, titular star Jared Leto and director Daniel Espinosa signed on in June 2018, and shooting was finally underway in February 2019 and wrapped up in June 2019. So, while  Morbius  may be releasing just after  Spider-Man: No Way Home , it wrapped filming before  Far From Home and  Avengers: Endgame was even released. With the Marvel universe being such an interconnected world, now more than ever with the Multiverse at play, coordination between crews is important. Marvel Studios is renowned for the intricate work that goes into crafting the cinematic universe, but what's surprising is how Sony's Spider-Man universe plays into the puzzle. ADVERTISEMENT Despite having  Venom  and  Morbius  taking place separate from the MCU in its own universe, they are loosely connected through Spider-Man. Although t...

Morbius Star Confident About Sequels Despite Poor Reviews

Image
While Tom Holland's Spider-Man enjoys synergetic success with both Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures, the latter has been developing its own exclusive cinematic universe. Centered around Tom Hardy's Venom, Sony's interconnected world has utilized rogues from Peter Parker's comic gallery, despite the wall-crawler being nowhere to be seen. With two  Venom  films already under its belt, Sony expands its universe with Jared Leto's  Morbius . The Living Vampire's road to April 1 has been paved by unfortunate circumstances.  Morbius  wrapped filming nearly three years ago, but COVID-19 shelved its initial July 2020 release. The film would be delayed a total of six times before cementing its April Fools release date. ADVERTISEMENT Unfortunately, the bad news doesn't end there. Early screenings for  Morbius  left fans disappointed, with some calling the picture  "as bad as you were expecting."  Director Daniel Espinosa would...

Marvel Director Reveals Venom's Confusing Connection to Morbius Movie

Image
Fans are a week away from experiencing  Morbius  and things do not seem to be going as planned. The Jared Leto-starring blood-sucking epic has had impressions leak ahead of its review embargo, and initial reactions are less than glowing, to say the least. The Sony Spider-Man Universe's latest has been in the works for a long time, but after multiple delays, it's seemingly ready to come out.  The film follows Leto's Michael Morbius, a biochemist who in an attempt to cure himself of a rare blood disease inadvertently gives himself a form of vampirism. Other than that still not much is known about the project, with confusion popping up around every corner.  ADVERTISEMENT Throughout the film's long marketing campaign, hints at all three different on-screen Spider-Men have appeared, bringing up the big question 'what universe does  Morbius  actually take place in?' Well, director Daniel Espinosa has come out to clear the air on just th...

Morbius Director Reveals Post-Credits Scene Spoilers & Details

Image
Sony Pictures' universe of Spider-Man characters has been a divisive topic for a long time amongst fans. Many feel like the studio is consistently mishandling its characters, and that they'd be better off alongside Tom Holland's Spider-Man in the MCU. However, Sony doesn't feel the same way. They have already released  Venom  and  Venom: Let There Be Carnage , and a third entry is on its way: Jared Leto's  Morbius . The project is once again set to focus on a Spider-Man villain sans the Spidey aspect. This time fans will get to know Doctor Michael Morbius, who accidentally turns himself into a vampire after trying to find a cure for his blood disease. ADVERTISEMENT With the Multiverse in full effect thanks to the likes of  Loki  and  Spider-Man: No Way Home , one has to wonder: what universe does this new film take place in? Going by marketing material, it doesn't even seem like Sony knows for themselves. Warning - The rest of th...

Marvel Fans Criticize 'Bad' Morbius Movie After Early Screenings

While the MCU is looking ahead to imminent new releases in Moon Knight and Doctor Strange 2 , the next Marvel outing on the docket is Sony Pictures' Morbius . Set to debut on April 1, Jared Leto's first Marvel outing looks to give Sony's Spider-Man Universe a thrilling new anti-hero after two solo movies for Tom Hardy's Venom. Unfortunately, Morbius  has seen its fair share of problems, which date back quite some time. Fans have waited for seemingly an eternity for the movie to release, with filming having finished nearly three full years ago before facing six different delays to its release date. While this was largely due to the state of flux for all blockbusters thanks to the pandemic, things don't look so great for the general reception for Morbius ahead of its world premiere. ADVERTISEMENT Rumors are already indicating that critics are disappointed with the film as a whole, which is largely due to a reportedly inconsistent plot...

Morbius Director Reacts to Wild Spider-Man: No Way Home Theory

Image
Morbius  is the next villain-turned-anti-hero who will debut on the big screen as part of Sony's Marvel universe. The upcoming movie will feature Jared Leto as the titular living vampire, a character who is a Spider-Man villain in the comics but is being shown as a hero in the project similar to Tom Hardy's Venom. While it is unknown where Morbius fits in the vast Spider-Verse, the film is expected to shed some light on Sony's plan for its Marvel characters. In the past two years, Morbius had its fair share of delays, mostly due to the pandemic. Recently, the film was delayed amidst the theatrical run of  Spider-Man: No Way Home. ADVERTISEMENT Initially, Morbius was slated to premiere on January 28, but it was delayed to April 1 instead. As a result, reports came in that No Way Home spurred the aforementioned delay, mainly because of the film's stellar box office run.  Now, the film's director has shed some light on the subject. ...
