The Jared Leto starring film has been pushed back an incredible amount of times; now set to premiere more than a year after its intended release date.
Still, the film has been met with increasing anticipation from fans and tells the story of Michael Morbius, a scientist suffering from a life-threatening condition that he corrects with an unknown method that has some frightening side effects.

Morbius the Living Vampire is the lesser-known Spider-Man villain that first rose to prominence in an episode of the 1994 Spider-Man animated series; showcasing the sympathetic nature of the character and his desire to ultimately be of service to society.
It is an incredibly complex role for Leto and a character that is defined by the contradiction inherent within himself.
