For Marvel fans who don't feel like watching the nearly two-hour Morbius movie, a new supercut has them covered.
Posted on Twitter in response to the film being available on digital, a 31-second video fast forwards through the entire story, end credits included. As the movie's runtime of 1 hour and 44 minutes is extremely condensed, the words "10/10 GREATEST MOVIE EVER MADE" adjoin the footage. Of course, if viewers look at the film's critic score on Rotten Tomatoes, they will find that not everyone agrees with the statement.
As of writing, Sony Pictures' latest superhero film holds a 17% critic score on the popular review site and has been criticized by many online. However, the film does have its defenders, and its audience score is sitting at a 71% for a decent rating. When the film became available for purchase on Apple TV on May 17, it managed to earn the app's number one spot within days.
Regardless of how audiences feel about the film, it has managed to trend online more than once, with popular phrases like "It's Morbin Time" and "#MorbiusSweep" spreading across social media. When the film became available on digital, it began trending due to people sharing one scene involving actor Matt Smith dancing shirtless in the movie. The star known for series like Doctor Who and The Crown plays Milo in Morbius, the film's primary antagonist.
In fact, all it took for some fans online to believe that a sequel to Morbius had been greenlit was a photo of star Jared Leto wearing purple sunglasses. No sequel has been officially announced to the vampire superhero film, though a third Venom movie is already in the works. Morbius follows both Venom (2018) and Venom: Let There Be Carnage (2021) as the third film in Sony's Spider-Man Universe.
The next movie expected to release for this universe is Kraven the Hunter, starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson as the titular Spider-Man villain. Johnson is no stranger to the superhero genre, playing Dave Lizewski/Kick-Ass in Kick-Ass and Kick-Ass 2 and Quicksilver/Pietro Maximoff in Avengers: Age of Ultron. Other upcoming projects for Sony include the animated Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse sequel and the live-action Madame Web film starring Dakota Johnson (Fifty Shades of Grey, The Social Network) and Sydney Sweeney (Euphoria).
Starring Leto as Dr. Michael Morbius, Morbius is available now on digital and releases on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD June 14.
