You may or may not have already heard but I saw this the other day on Twitter and I have to say that I wasn't and still am not sure of what to make of this news...
According to CBR.com's website Jared Leto has now confirmed that he will be playing "Morbius: The Livng Vampire" for Sony's Spider-Man spinoff film which if your like me and haven't heard of this character before, I'll help fill in the gaps with a little assistance from Wikipedia of course...according to this website Morbius was Dr. Michael Morbius PhD, MD, after a failed biochemical experiment to cure him of his rare blood disorder he was imbued with vampiric superhuman and physical traits which saw him in the comic books, TV shows and video games his struggle with his human-vampire persona, his insatiable lust for human blood, his subsequent efforts to cure his condition and his inevitable stint as a nightmarish and brutal vigilante.
Also according to this same website this new film of Sony Movies will be a "horror, action story" but
as Jared Leto has posted a picture on his Instagram page of the cover of Marvel's 2012 NOW! series of "Morbius: The Living Vampire" by Joe Keatinge and Richard Elson to confirm this project is in fact in development CBR.com is seeming to suggest that as Sony's film will explore this character's anti-hero side instead of a villain it is entirely possible with this that this new movie was inspired by this book series which saw Morbius escape from prison and seek redemption in the crime ridden streets of Brownsville.
There is no release date for this film yet but Daniel Espinosa will direct this from a screenplay written by Burk Sharplass and Matt Sazama.
