Could Morbius and Spider-Man get an on-screen clash? Jared Leto hopes so!
The 50-year-old “Morbius” star caught up with ET’s Lauren Zima at the 2022 Critics Choice Awards on Sunday where he discussed his upcoming anti-hero role.
“I think it’s a different take on the Marvel Universe, and it’s a brand new character, so I’m super excited to share that with audiences,” he told ET of his role as biochemist-turns-vampire Michael Morbius.
In the comics, Morbius served as a villain and antagonist for Spider-Man, so is there a chance that fans could see him and “Spider-Man” star Tom Holland on the big screen together?
“I would love to get in the ring with Spider-Man,” Leto gushed. “I think Tom Holland is amazing, and we’d make quite a dynamic duo.”
But when asked if that meant he and Holland, 25, had already filmed something together, Leto insisted, “I’m manifesting.”
Morbius, which also stars Michael Keaton, Matt Smith, and Adria Arjona, hits theaters April 1.

Jared Leto plays Marvel’s iconic vampire superhero in “Morbius”, and the Oscar-winning actor discussed the new movie in an interview with IMDb.
With an Oscar, a top-selling band and two blockbuster movie franchises under his belt, it’s understandable why fans want to know about Jared Leto‘s net worth and if he makes more from his music or movie career.
Fresh blood. Jared Leto is returning to the superhero genre, but this time, his character also happens to be a vampire.
green-haired, tattooed maniac? A balding fashion scion? A gaunt, gangrenous heroin addict? (Unless you’re a Thirty Seconds to Mars fan, in which case maybe you picture lead singer Leto berating a crowd member.) Even among the ranks of beautiful movie stars who enjoy working incognito — think Charlize Theron in “Monster,” Christian Bale in “The Machinist” and “Vice,” Colin Farrell in “The Batman” — the 50-year-old Leto is in a class by himself in the lengths he’ll go to for his extreme on-screen makeovers. In his latest film, Marvel’s “Morbius,” Leto throws himself into the part of Dr. Michael Morbius, a biochemist who inadvertently makes himself into a vampire when a life-saving experiment goes wrong.
Owen Gleiberman Chief Film CriticIn “Morbius,” Jared Leto sports his signature beard and long silky black hair parted down the middle, though for a good stretch he doesn’t give off his usual Jesus of Beverly Hills glow. That’s because he plays the sickly Dr. Michael Morbius, who is cadaverous and sunken-eyed, hobbling around on a pair of forearm crutches.
much of a movie, but it’s a movie nonetheless.Leto does indeed star as Michael Morbius, a world-renowned physician — talented enough to invent an artificial blood substitute, iconoclastic enough to turn down the Nobel Prize he won for the invention — who has grappled with blood-borne disease since childhood. With the financial support of lifelong friend and fellow patient Milo (Matt Smith), Michael has become a leader in his field, even as he branches out into morally questionable territory, exploring the possibility of grafting vampire-bat DNA with human DNA.Like “The Wasp Woman” and countless other cinematic mad scientists who tampered in God’s domain, Michael tries the experiment on himself, discovering both a cure (he’s strong, buff and can hang from the ceiling) and a curse (he transforms into a fanged creature starved for human blood).
Tron series is getting “closer and closer”.The Tron: Legacy follow-up, Tron: Ascension has been in the works for some time, but now in a new interview with ScreenRant, Leto has hinted that the film could be moving forwards quicker than previously thought.He told the publication: “I’m a super fan of Tron, and we are working hard on Tronwith our incredible partners at Disney. Just an amazing group of creative people,” he began.“We’re getting closer.

Zack Sharf Andrew Garfield opened up on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” this week about what it was like recreating the iconic “Spider-Man” pointing meme with his “Spider-Man: No Way Home” co-stars Tom Holland and Andrew Garfield.

Memes before movies.
Jared Leto has said that he doesn’t believe cinemas would have survived had it not been for the success of the Marvel films.The actor, who portrays otherworldly bloodsucker Morbius in the upcoming Marvel movie of the same name, said in a new interview that cinemas most likely still operate because of the draw such comic book films have on audiences.“If it wasn’t for Marvel films, I don’t even know if theatres would exist,” he told Variety. He admitted that he is “a bit of a snob when it comes to film” but that he’s worried about the financial health of the industry, and therefore thinks that superhero blockbusters need to be appreciated for the vital lifeline they supply.“It doesn’t seem like there’s room for everyone, and that starts to become a little heartbreaking,” he added, suggesting that he’s also cognisant of Marvel’s dominance.Elsewhere in the interview, the actor and musician said that he’d continue portraying the character in potential sequels.
