I love Morbius, he's one of my favorite characters in comics. I think he would great as a supporting character or as a villain in either a Spiderman or a good Marvel movie.
But why is Sony making this Morbius movie? I understood the Venom movie, I was sort of excited for the Black Cat and Silver Sable movies. But Morbius?
My only theory is that Avi Arad is a Morbius fan, because he was also executive producer of Spiderman: The Animated Series. As all good Marvel fans will remember, this was the series that gave us the Morbius with suckers on his fucking hands. As all of us remember, this was so much more horrifying than what was in the comic.
