    I love Morbius, but I can't imagine this will be interesting.

    You were Spider-Man then. You and Peter had agreed on it. But he came back right when you started feeling comfortable.
    You know what it means when he comes back

    If the Venom movie is successful, then maybe this will fly. Otherwise - nope.

    I shouldn't laugh but it's so hilarious how desperate Sony is getting now that Marvel has creative control over Spider-Man himself.
    By this point I can honestly see them trying to make a Scarlet Spider film without Peter, and clearly it goes without saying how ridiculous that would be.

    Morbius isn't the worst character for a movie...

    OK, but in all seriousness, this sounds like a really bad idea. Morbius is a great character, but he's also extremely difficult to actually use and use well. I guess maybe Sony is interesting in luring Marvel into letting them use Blade, sure, but really, even that sounds like an idea doomed to failure.

    Maybe they should just cater to Twilight/Vampire Diaries fangirls. I mean, will possessive fanboys really be pissed if Morbius of all characters is "taken away" from them?

    *Although the 90's animated series was plenty melodramatic in its own right with Morbius's romance with Felicia.

    I'd find it hilarious if this movie's major marketing push involves targeting the Twilight fans .

    If it were Disney making the film, it would be like Wizards of Waverly Place.

    I was mostly kidding but now I'm kinda intrigued. Especially if the female lead is an often neglected character like Deb Whitman.

    True Blood kind of targeted the same fanbase but it was good so there's hope.
