Ahead of Morbius' release on 1 April, here's everything you need to know about Marvel anti-hero

Morbius is finally set to release this Friday, 1 April, after numerous delays. The movie, which is set in the same world as Venom and Venom: Let There Be Carnage, is part of Sony's universe of Marvel characters. The third film set in the universe, the movie will feature the live-action debut of the comic book character Morbius.

The Jared Leto-starrer sees the Oscar-winner play the lead role of Michael Morbius. Morbius starts out as a brilliant scientist suffering from a rare blood disease. In an attempt to find a cure, he attempts to inject vampire bat DNA into his blood, transforming himself into a bloodthirsty pseudo-vampire. The film revolves around how Leto's character deals with his superpowers while fighting his urge for human blood.

In the Marvel comics, Morbius was originally introduced as a villain for both Spider-Man and Blade, but he eventually evolved into a vigilante who seeks to satisfy his need for blood by fighting bad guys.

If we look at the trailer, the character appears to be staying fairly close to his comic book origins. The trailer of the film has not yet revealed if (and how) it will be connected to the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe. While Spider-Man: No Way Home did feature Eddie Brock/Venom in a cameo appearance, no such hint has been dropped for Morbius till now.

Matt Smith of Doctor Who fame, Adria Arjona, Jared Harris, Al Madrigal and Tyrese Gibson also appear in the film Morbius. Moreover, Michael Keaton reprises his role as Vulture/Adrian Toomes from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The actor had earlier played the role in the movie Spider-Man: Homecoming.

The movie has been directed by Daniel Espinosa. The Swedish director made his Hollywood debut in 2012 with the Denzel Washington and Ryan Reynolds thriller Safe House, which was followed by the Tom Hardy-led Child 44 and the sci-fi film Life, which starred Reynolds, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Rebecca Ferguson.

Udaan to AK vs AK, Vikramaditya Motwane’s decade-long genre-hopping filmography is commendable

Director Vikramaditya Motwane’s earliest memory of being on a set is from the 80s when his mother Dipa De Motwane worked as a production manager. It was an ad for Nycil that was being directed by the legendary Shukla Das. “My sister and I had gone and I remember there was a stage where some kids were doing a play and there was a paper dragon,” the 44-year-old had shared in a previous interview to me. But it was much later when he turned 17 that Motwane began to enjoy being on a set. “I used to be very bored initially. Then my mother roped in my friends and I to help on a television chat show called Teen Talk. That’s when I realised that it was the best thing ever.” Since those heady days of being a production assistant, Motwane has gone on to explore many genres as a director. His debut film Udaan (2010) was the first Indian film in seven years to be an official selection at Cannes. The coming-of-age film, starring Rajat Barmecha and Ronit Roy, is a deeply affecting story of a mother...
