Morbius is based on the 1971 comic books created by Rob Thomas and Gil Kan. The titular vampire appeared throughout the Marvel franchise, with his first appearance in the 1971’s The Amazing Spider-Man and in the 1992 series, Morbius, the Living Vampire.

According to Variety, Morbius “follows Michael Morbius (Leto), a biochemist in search of a cure for his rare blood disease. However, he accidentally injects himself with vampirism, giving him bat-like superpowers like echo-location and an insatiable thirst for blood.”

The script was written by Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless. Also starring are Adria Arjona as Morbius’ fiancee, Jared Harris, Matt Smith, and Tyrese Gibson.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the Pacific Rim star would play Martine Bancroft, who in the comics was engaged to Dr. Michael Morbius a scientist who suffered from a rare blood disease and turned himself into a living vampire while seeking a cure.

The Oscar winner (best supporting actor for his 2013 performance in Dallas Buyers Club) will don the iconic silk pajamas and smoking jacket for the project that is still in early stages of development with Ratner’s RatPac Entertainment. The movie was initially set up at Universal Pictures and Imagine Entertainment. When the rights expired, they were purchased by producer Jerry Weintraub (Ocean’s Eleven, Westworld) for Warner Bros, but after Weintraub’s death in 2015, Ratner snapped up the rights for his own company.

This casting announcement comes just one week after Hefner passing away at the age of 91. Ratner had hoped to introduce Leto to Hefner, inviting him to the mansion back in April for the premiere of Amazon’s American Playboy: The Hugh Hefner Story. However, that day Hefner’s health prevented him from greeting guests.

Leto is currently starring in Blade Runner 2049, in theaters now.

Todd Phillips (The Hangover) will co-write and direct the movie, and Martin Scorsese will produce it with Phillips.

The untitled movie about the origins of The Joker, is the first to be produced under a yet-to-be announced separate banner with the intent of creating unique storylines for the studio’s iconic heroes and villains.

The Joker has played a memorable part in several Batman movies, portrayed by Jack Nicholson, Heath Ledger, and most recently Jared Leto in the first Suicide Squad film. Leto will reprise his role in the Suicide Squad sequel, however, Philips’ film is most likely going to feature a different and perhaps younger actor.

The Clown Prince of Crime origin movie will feature an intriguing setting in the form of a gritty and grounded crime film set in early 80’s Gotham City, much like and similar to a Scorsese film from that era, rather than a DC movie.

A source reports that Phillips and Silver have begun writing but there’s no decision where this movie will fit into the DC schedule.
