Set Photos From MORBIUS THE LIVING VAMPIRE Feature Jered Leto and Matt Smith

A few photos from Sony Pictures’ film adaptation of Marvel’s Morbius The Living Vampire have surfaced that feature Jared Leto as Morbius and Matt Smith as as Loxias Crown.

Morbius, a.k.a. Dr. Michael Morbius, is "a scientist who suffered from a rare blood disease and attempted to cure himself to disastrous results. Instead of being cured, he 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 and even headlined his own comic book titles."

Jared Harris (Mad Men, The Crown, Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, The Terror) also stars in the film along with Adria Arjona (Pacific Rim Uprising), who will play Martine Bancroft, who was engaged to Morbius before he accidentally turned himself into a vampire. She ends up becoming a potential victim as Morbius learns to cope with his insatiable bloodlust. 

The film is being directed by Daniel Espinosa (Safe House, Life). The script for the film is being written by Burk Sharpless and Matt Sazama (Lost in Space), and it will be released in theaters in the summer of 2020.

Do you think that this movie is going to end up being good!?

His outfit is definitely from the 2013 run of Morbius. #Morbius pic.twitter.com/4bqGbHWbW8

That was a fun afternoon/evening taking photos around the set of Spider-Man spin-off #morbius in Manchester. Got a decent shot of Matt Smith too. pic.twitter.com/xeSPvMGKuY
