Early Morbius reactions are definitely not good news for the Jared Leto-led film

For what it's worth, Morbius looks like a perfect slice of escapism that should offer an alternative to the two-hour comic book slogs that we've been getting lately.

In the meantime, those who are looking forward to seeing Morbius in theaters can check out the latest vignette. A scene from the latest Morbius trailer teases a possible cameo from Tom Hardy's Venom after a police officer mentions that the current situation is similar to "that thing in San Francisco." If Venom and Vulture are two out of Morbius' three presumed cameos, a third one could include an appearance of a Spider-Man. The only question now then, is which Spider-Man will swing by for a second or two in Morbius.

Speaking of comic book adaptations, Morbius won't have a lot to compete against once it premieres on April 1. By that time, the hype surrounding The Batman will have all but died down after already making $500 million at the global box office. Meanwhile, the MCU's next film, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, won't be around until May 6, with Moon Knight premiering exclusively on Disney+ on March 30. With a rather modest $75 million budget and little in the way of marketing, Sony will probably consider Morbius a success even if it "only" pulls off $150 million once its theatrical ends.
