I’m not sure anyone expected Jared Leto’s Morbius to be some sort of MCU-level critical hit, but now that the reviews are in for the blockbuster, Morbius is actually one of the worst reviewed superhero movies of the modern era, and down there with some of the lowest scores of all time.
If you’re wondering why Sony made a Morbius movie in the first place, and are making a bunch of weird Spider-adjacent movies like Kraven and Madame Web, it’s this twisted rights issue where Sony essentially has to keep pumping out Spider-Man IP movies or lose the rights to Marvel. This has resulted in the ongoing negotiations with Marvel and Disney for Tom Holland’s Spidey and those movies, but Sony needs to have this ‘side universe’ going at the same time.
We’ll see how Morbius performs at the box office, and what audiences thing of the film. I’d expect scores to be higher than what critics are saying, but Venom level high? I’d doubt it. We’ll find out soon enough. Between this and his Joker, I’m not sure many people are going to be recruiting Jared Leto for more superhero movie roles any time soon.
