Morbius the Living Vampire Movie in the Works With 'Power Rangers' Writers
Sony’s cinematic universe based on Spider-Man characters just got a little bigger.
The studio is developing Morbius, a feature project centered on Spider-Man antihero Morbius the Living Vampire. Burk Sharpless and Matt Sazama, who worked on the recent Power Rangers movie, wrote the script, which was just submitted to the studio after a secret development process. Morbius was created by writer Roy Thomas and artist Gil Kane and first appeared in Amazing Spider-Man #101, the first issue not written by Spider-Man co-creator Stan Lee. Morbius is Dr. Michael Morbius, a scientist who suffered from a rare blood disease and attempted to cure himself to disastrous results. He instead became afflicted with a condition that was a form of vampirism — the thirst for blood, along with fangs and super strength — and fought Spider-Man. Over time, however, he became a slightly heroic figure in his own right. Details of Sony’s take on the character are not known. Sony has been furiously developing its stable of Marvel-licensed characters that are mostly based off the heroes and villains that are connected to Spider-Man. The studio, however, is being coy as to whether or not these new movies will be connected to Sony’s Tom Holland movies or connected to the Marvel Cinematic Universe that is being produced by Marvel Studios. Sony had no comment. Sharpless and Sazama previously tackled vampirism with Dracula Untold, Universal’s origin of the most famous vampire that starred Luke Evans. They also count The Last Witch Hunter and Gods of Egypt among their credits. The duo also are showrunning and writing the Lost in Space reboot for Netflix that is to debut next year. They are repped by ICM Partners. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hea...riters-1056702

No matter how much or hard we mock Sony, they keep throwing these out there.
Cripes.

Morbius might be my favorite Spiderman villain, but I don't think I want this.

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.

These days big studios are driven by insecurity and social media. There's no real plan.

Spider-Man does not need nor warrant his "own" movie Universe and giving movies to Spider-Man's villains was sort of nonsense to begin with. Routinely turning villains into a protagonist takes away from the villain at some point. It used to be clever - the protagonist villain anti-hero - but now it's just a cliche trope.

Not only that, but some of them doesn't work as protagonists at all - like what would be the point of movies about Green Goblin or Carnage?

And now you have all these movies with Venom and Morbius and Kraven where we root for the bad guys... then we're supposed to turn around and want to see them fight Spider-Man, for some reason?
