Sony's Morbius Failure Is Secretly Good News For Andrew Garfield's Spider-Man Return...
Morbius has flopped at the box office, but this could mean Sony will be keener than ever to pursue a third Amazing Spider-Man movie with Andrew Garfield. Critics and audiences alike have uniformly rejected the Jared Leto led Sony Marvel movie, which is set in Sony's Spider-Man universe, shared with the upcoming Kraven the Hunter, Venom, and Venom: Let There Be Carnage.
With the appalling performance of Morbius in mind, it may be time for Sony to introduce Spider-Man back into the Spider-Man universe, making Andrew Garfield's return likely. Jared Leto stars in Morbius as Dr. Michael Morbius, a scientist obsessed with curing his debilitating disease using the blood of vampire bats. This has the unintended consequence of transforming him into a vampire with an insatiable blood lust, just like his comic book counterpart. The film has been met with significant criticism, and currently holds a dismal 17% critical consensus on Rotten Tomatoes. According to Box Office Mojo, it has earned just over $160 million worldwide, on a roughly $80 million budget.Morbius' failure demonstrates the futility of a Spider-Man universe without Peter Parker, and it may force Sony to enter negotiations with Andrew Garfield to return to the role. When compared to the outstanding performance of Spider-Man: No Way Home, which saw rave reviews and took nearly $2 billion at the box office, Morbius' failure is incredibly apparent. Morbius is a classic Spider-Man villain, but unlike Venom, who has enough character to carry a movie without Peter Parker, he clearly does not work without the web-head. The incredibly positive response to Spider-Man: No Way Home, and the online discourse that the film redeemed Garfield's Spider-Man also makes his return likely. Many social media users have made it clear that there is demand for Sony to make the hypothetical Amazing Spider-Man 3 after the multiverse shenanigans of Spider-Man: No Way Home saw Andrew Garfield's Spider-Man make a triumphant return to cinema screens. When considering the terrible performance of Morbius against the demand for more Amazing Spider-Man movies, Sony could well make this wish come true. Of course, there is always the possibility that Garfield's Spider-Man could be weaved into the existing universe, alongside Venom and Michael Morbius. It seems more likely than Sony bringing back Tobey Maguire from the Sam Raimi Spider-Man movies, as that trilogy has much more unique style, typical of Raimi. With the lingering negativity towards The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Sony could instead bring in Garfield in the next Venom movie, using the multiverse or Spider-verse to explain it. Regardless of how Sony chooses to use Andrew Garfield, his return seems more likely following the poor performance of Morbius.
