Dr. Michael Morbius isn't your grandmother's vampire. Sony's Jared Leto-led film has finally dropped its first trailer, and it's chillingly scary. The Oscar winner stars as the convoluted antihero Michael Morbius, a doctor whose illness leads him down a dark path [1] of no return. Stricken with a rare blood disorder, Morbius desperately searches for a cure to save others from suffering a similar fate. But when he undergoes an experimental treatment that turns him into a living vampire, he discovers that "the remedy is worse than the disease."

Created by Roy Thomas and Gil Kane, Michael Morbius first appeared in 1971's The Amazing Spider-Man #101. The character joined Spider-Man's ever-rotating gang of villains before taking a turn for the antihero, similar to Sony's Venom [2]. The trailer gives fans all sorts of peeks into the dark and scary world of Morbius and even includes a surprise cameo from Michael Keaton, who played Adrian Toomes/Vulture in Marvel's Spider-Man: Homecoming. Will Morbius be the first Sony film to properly cross over with the Marvel Cinematic Universe [3]? Probably not, but keep an eye out for more as we get closer to Morbius's 31 July release!
