Sony released the first official trailer for Morbius starring Jared Leto, Adria Arjona, and Tyrese Gibson.
The Fast and Furious actor plays Simon Stroud, an FBI agent assigned to hunt down Morbius (played by Leto), a living vampire, the Spiderman anti-hero. According to the comics, Morbius acquired vampire-like powers using science.
Here is the official synopsis for Morbius:
One of Marvel’s most compelling and conflicted characters comes to the big screen as Oscar winner Jared Leto transforms into the enigmatic antihero, Michael Morbius. Dangerously ill with a rare blood disorder, and determined to save others suffering his same fate, Dr. Morbius attempts a desperate gamble. What at first appears to be a radical success soon reveals itself to be a remedy potentially worse than the disease.
The newly released trailer also featured Michael Keaton, who appears to reprise his role as Vulture from Spider-Man: Homecoming. This surprise appearance hinted that the film will be set in the Marvel Universe. Gibson later confirmed the theory by posting a celebratory Instagram video that read, “MORBIUS TRAILER 1HOUR AWAY!!!! Evil is amongst us!!! #DarkClouds #MARVEL #MCU #SONY #Crossover”.
Morbius will hit theaters on July 31, 2020. Watch the full trailer above.
