This is becoming the new New Mutants, isn't it? I still haven't watched that yet and I own it. LOL

There's some irony in the fact that it's been pushed back to April 1st.

Y'all can talk all the shit you want.
I'm excited for more of the Sonyverse now that it crosses over with the MCU.

I'd hardly call Morbius a Legend

The look on Matt Smith's face sums up this whole movie.

The film will likely be destroyed at the box office since it'll now come out on not only NCAA Final Four Weekend but Wrestlemania weekend as well, I don't know the Final Four/Wrestlemania weekend's impact on the box office but people will be staying home to watch Wrestlemania and/or (Depending on the matchups, especially Duke with Coach K in his final season) Final Four Basketball on Saturday Night (Wrestlemania for the 3rd straight year will be a 2 night event) and to top it all off, a certain blue hedgehog's sequel comes out the following week Since theatres were mostly closed the last two years during Final Four/WrestleMania weekend, the fairest comparison would be 2019, when Shazam opened to a $56m box office take, while Pet Semetary took $25m the same weekend. Morbius will probably do well to do Pet Semetary numbers. Unlikeable star, D-list character, and not a whole lot of sustained buzz following the trailers. The 2019 Final Four lacked marquee schools (The marquee schools were eliminated before the final four that year) and Wrestlemania was a one night event in 2019, if there are marketable schools in the final four this year, especially Duke, they'll give people a excuse to stay at home and watch TBS' Final Four broadcast, also as I said earlier in the thread, Sonic 2 comes out the following weekend and later on in April 15, the 3rd Fantastic Beasts movie comes out so by mid April, Morbius will be forgotten and the Batman will gross more then Morbius

New poster LMAO What in the mid-2000s hell is this? I actually like the idea of Sony branding some of their standalone flicks as "Marvel Legends" because it gives them a little gravitas, but this thing's gonna tank.

It’s also comical, because for as many fans he may have, Morbius isn’t really a character I’d consider as a “Marvel legend”.

It seems like a terrible show of how little faith they have in this that I just got a trailer on Youtube that opens with an out of character thing explaining that Morbius is a Spider-Man character.

Lol, I saw that too. Leto was trying to sell people on what an important character Morbius is in comics history. The way I see it, if a movie is good it will get word of mouth cult status even if it isn't a huge hit. The more they try to shove a movie down your throat the shitter it is usually.

What has Morbius ever done in comics history? Technically, he's the reason Blade is a "daywalker". Or was, it's a bit of a story: Blade in the comics was just a regular human vampire slayer, but when the character was adapted for film, they decided to make him half-human half-vampire. To bring his comics version up to speed with his film version, they decided to have him be turned into a daywalker by a bite from Morbius (not unlike Spider-Man gaining organic webbing in the comics around the time that the Raimi films were in theaters). Of course, this has since been retconned into him being a daywalker all along due to his mother being turned while she was pregnant with him (you know, just like in the film). So... yeah, what has he done in comics history?

What has Morbius ever done in comics history? There was a ban on horror comics when the Marvel Universe started, and Morbius was the first horror type character in Marvel comics. Now why that's supposed to make anyone want to see a movie is beyond me.

He debuted in the same story where Spidey got 4 extra arms.
That's about it as far as any sort of big thing in comics history.
I've always liked him, hell I collected his early 90s solo run for a bit; but even I'm like "eh, maybe a Sunday matinee?" for the movie itself. Legitimately more curious about what they'd have post credits if anything.

He got his ass kicked a bunch during Maximum Carnage, if that counts
