Morbius Was Inspired By Pokémon, Said Director Daniel Espinosa
Following the incredible success of Venom and its sequel Venom: Let There Be Carnage, Sony Pictures has announced Morbius, the spin-off starring Jared Leto as a brilliant scientist with a rare blood disease.
As part of Sony's cinematic universe, Morbius was initially scheduled for last year, but has been delayed several times due to the global pandemic. Recently, the movie has recently been rescheduled for a new release date, which is April 1st this year.
It is a somewhat bizarre yet creative choice, given that the original Morbius is not able to release or leave behind purple energy in the comics. It cannot be ruled out, however, that Espinosa confused the purple cloak worn by the character in the 90s with a form of energy.
“The fighting style of Morbius is very predatory and beast-like,” he shared. “The way he moves sometimes is catlike, wild, and quite feral in the moment. He's not comfortable in his own body, because he is used to being quite frail, not being able to do these things. Now he's got this overwhelming power, which he doesn't know how to control. He doesn't know how to deal with it yet.”
