The comeback of the friendly neighborhood spider in "Spider-Man: No Way Home" will also appear on the screens this Christmas, and now "Morbius" should finally experience its theatrical release, namely on schedule on January 27, 2022. The action-packed and around three Minutes long trailer takes us into the world of the eponymous doctor who is suffering from a seemingly terminal illness.
But the young man is not alone in the world with this problem, as other people across the planet share the same fate as he. In the desperate but also emotional search for an antidote, he finally has to realize that sometimes limits have to be exceeded and great risks have to be taken in order to get what you want. In order to prevent certain death - or at least to try to do so - the genius chooses an extremely unconventional and extremely dangerous path that should soon enable him to put an end to his suffering once and for all. A visit to a cave, from which he hopes to get some answers and an improvement in his critical situation, ends with a flock of bats that attack the man - after which he is not seen for two months.
When he finally reappears, everyone around him realizes that he has changed a lot physically. Suddenly he feels as if he can literally uproot trees. But what exactly caused this effect in the cave? A mystery that even Morbius cannot solve himself. He just knows how much he likes it that since then he feels more alive than ever before. Too bad that since his unexpected and sudden transformation he has had to feed on blood to ensure that his now stable condition does not worsen again. So while he gets to know some of his newfound abilities and researches them extensively, the now supernatural being loses control again and again whenever his stomach growls. Will Morbius get a grip on himself in time before the blood of innocent people flows?
"Morbius" has made it its mission to only attack and drain those who really deserve to die - criminals who cause suffering to others and for whom there should be no place in this world. But does that always work? This will be revealed to us in the spring of 2022 when the elaborately produced Marvel film, which is part of the MCU or the Marvel Cinematic Universe, sees the light of day. None other than Jared Leto, who is one of the few actors who has already been able to embody a legendary antagonist in the DC Universe, in his case the legendary Joker in «Suicide Squad», slips into the role of the bloodthirsty mutant who deals with his razor-sharp teeth on the carotid artery of his victims. Sony promises the birth of a new anti-hero who will go down in film history as a cult figure.
