Morbius the Living Vampire Movie in the Works With 'Power Rangers' Writers - Page 3

There's the Oscorp building, too. Does that look like the Raimi one? It's not the Amazing Spider-Man one.

I'm really wondering how they're going to reconcile this all. It was one thing when I assumed they would just keep the Sony universe a corner of the MCU that the MCU itself doesn't really reference unless it wants to... but the end of Venom 2 implies the Sony universe IS its own thing. That Venom travels to the MCU to meet Spider-Man.

So... Morbius is in the MCU? Even though they're talking about the Venom incidents in the trailer? Does "No Way Home" merge Sony into MCU, proper? Complete with the Raimi Green Goblin and so on?

Very confusing stuff.

The big question is: will there be more Spider-Man movies set in the MCU in the future? Sony is building an universe of its own and all the evidences say Spidey will be a part of it at some point.

I mean, with the revelation that reality is actually a multiverse, not a single universe, with infinite universes that vary by only a single degree, then we can assume that there is a universe where all of these things naturally occurred together. Or that they were brought together by reality-altering shenanigans. But I guess we'll see how Sony/Marvel explains it, if at all.

I saw the trailer for the first time last night during the World Series on FOX. I don't know if I'd say "it looks good," but somehow I am interested to see it, probably because I never thought "that guy who showed up in Season 2 of the 90s Spider-man cartoon" would ever be able to headline his own theatrical movie.

*Andrew NDB* · 11-03-2021, 02:33 PM

I don't really see it being a hit. It'd be like if New Line Cinema put out "Savanti Romero: The Movie" in like 1995. It'd get some mild curiosity but nobody would care, really.

You know, I assume Marvel would be perfectly legal to just release their own version of DRACULA, and it would have its own comic book pedigree to boot. Maybe that would be the best venue to introduce Morbius to a wider-audience and then see where that goes. There have been too many Dracula movies to name, but "Marvel's Tomb of Dracula" would surely get people's attention.

I guess Blade still has some name recognition for his own sake.

Yeah, Morbius' trailer couldn't help but play up the "shared universe" gimmick by literally calling himself Venom, and also teasing jailbird Michael Keaton. Have they no shame?

People always complain about how he couldn't bite people but I don't think that would've been shocking at all as a kid, it's what vampires do and you see that in movies all the time. I found morbius shocking on spider-man because of those creepy as hell blood suckers on his hands, man talk about doing something more horrific while trying to censor defeating the purpose.

As so often is the case!

Morbius moves again! This time from Jan. 28 to April 1. I'm sure Omicron is a factor but why undercut Morbius while Spider-Man is still doing gangbusters at the box office?

How stupid.

*Coola Yagami* · 01-03-2022, 06:45 PM

Seriously. No one cares about CoVid when Spider-Man hit, but now all of a sudden they do when Morbius will?

~~Sumac~~ · 01-03-2022, 07:32 PM

1st April?
Do they imply this movie is good for fools only?

Apparently, the Omicron variant wasn't a huge reason for the delay. Sony decided to delay it because they want to continue making a profit from Spider-Man: No Way Home.

Quote:

Deadline hears that one factor motivating the push was Sony’s huge (continuing) success with Spider-Man: No Way Home, which established itself as the highest-grossing film of 2021 upon its December 17 debut. The Tom Holland pic has thus far grossed upwards of $1.37 billion worldwide and now looks to continue to do big business on the screens previously saved for Morbius.

If anything, Spider-man's success could only help Sony keep the momentum rolling for another "related universe" follow-up.

~~Sumac~~ · 01-04-2022, 04:50 AM

Sony gonna Sony.

Only Sega worse than them at any rational and smart decisions.

(I know that this Sony is not the same Sony as the one which controls PlayStation, but still).

Looks like crap, honestly. But we'll see.

Really?
I think it looks fun - not a billion dollar franchise or anything, but easily as entertaining as the first Blade or Underworld flicks.

Also? I'm sort of secretly hoping that this is a smash hit so that other studios think "Vampires are cool again!" and maybe we will get another Underworld movie out of it.....

I think I agree

I'm just curious how they'll pad this origin story into a feature-length film. A reluctant love interest? A begrudgingly respected nemesis? A former ally turned antagonist? Yawn whatever just give me Doctor Strange 2

*Andrew NDB* · 03-21-2022, 05:17 PM

Disappoints critics.

Sounds like exactly what I expected. Another Venom/Venom 2 90s-style but tame actioner, needing another two or three drafts before filming.
