Light spoilers follow for “Morbius.”The movie just opened. How are you feeling?Oh, great. It’s always, you carry these movies around, so even though you tell yourself that you can walk past them, you can’t until they’re out.

Sony’s “Morbius” is finally in theaters and while people are endlessly sharing their hot takes of the poorly-reviewed superhero film (including our review) and ‘Spider-Man’ spin-off, what might be even more interesting is all the behind-the-scenes shenanigans of Jared Leto, who as one person joked on Twitter today, might be the Daniel Day-Lewis of bad movies. Uproxx recently spoke with director Daniel Espinosa about the film —and while he couldn’t come up with a good answer when pressed about what Sony’s plans for the movie were and what they changed—what’s even more interesting is some of the rumors they heard.

Jared Leto went full method acting for “Morbius”.

Zack Sharf Jared Leto is known for staying in character throughout the duration of his film shoots, and on the “Morbius” set that apparently meant using a wheelchair to go to the bathroom. Similar to his character in the movie, Leto used crutches on set to maintain his character’s physicality. However, the crutches made Leto’s bathroom breaks a longer process than needed.

After multiple delays, Sony Pictures’ “Spider-Man” spin-off “Morbius” was finally released over the weekend. The third installment in Sony’s cinematic Spiderverse, which also includes the two “Venom” movies starring Tom Hardy, the studio has long teased a hard connection to the main Marvel Cinematic Universe.

“Morbius” is no different, as the film sees Leto portray the Marvel comic character Dr. Michael Morbius, who is born with a rare blood disorder and seeks to cure it through the bite of a vampire bat.Originally slated to come out in January of 2022, “Morbius” was pushed back to its holding release date of April 1 due to the onset of the omicron variant of the coronavirus after the 2021 holidays. “Morbius” will take place in the same Sony universe of Marvel movies as “Venom” and “Venom: Let There Be Carnage.” But fans may be wondering how to watch “Morbius” — is the film streaming or only in theaters?

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.

Ellise Shafer The reviews are in for Marvel’s “Morbius” starring Jared Leto, and they’re out for blood.As the social media and review embargo lifted on Wednesday evening for the film, critics took to Twitter to elaborate on what some are calling the “worst Marvel superhero movie in a long, long time.”“#Morbius is a reminder of what many comic book movies were before the MCU: sloppy, poorly executed, and sure to disappoint fans of the comics,” critic Dan Murrell tweeted. “It also contains the worst attempt at universe building in the modern era. Full review later tonight but… it’s bad.”#Morbius is a reminder of what many comic book movies were before the MCU: sloppy, poorly executed, and sure to disappoint fans of the comics.

et voila!Running time: 104 minutes. Rated PG-13 (intense sequences of violence, some frightening images and brief strong language). In theaters.The issue is personal.

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).

Jenelle Riley Deputy Awards, Features EditorThere’s going to be shocks at every Academy Awards ceremony, though no one could have predicted just how dramatic things would get this year after Will Smith took umbrage to a joke Chris Rock made about his wife Jada Pinkett Smith.But in the end, there were very few surprises throughout the night, with most of the top awards going to the predicted frontrunners, particularly in the acting categories, which matched the SAG Award wins. Apple made history by being the first streaming service to win best picture with “CODA,” which also won best adapted screenplay and best supporting actor for Troy Kotsur — who goes into the record books as the first deaf winner in the category.Here are some of the surprises and snubs throughout the night: SNUB: “The Power of the Dog”Jane Campion’s Western went into the evening with 12 nominations, more than any other film.
