10 Delayed Movies That Will Land In 2021 And Still Bomb At The Box Office
5. Morbius
The last time Jared Leto played a pale-skinned comic book villain it didn't work out too well in the end, and Morbius doesn't even have a shred of the name recognition that the Joker does.
After passing Spider-Man off to Marvel Studios, Sony are desperate to launch a comic book franchise of their own, and while Venom may have got things off to an incredible start by bringing in over $850m at the box office, Morbius is a much tougher sell.
It wouldn't be surprising to see the marketing continue to play up the involvement of Michael Keaton's Vulture in an effort to piggyback off the MCU connections, while Tom Hardy's Eddie Brock will presumably show up in a spot of contractually-obligated world-building.
After originally being scheduled for this July, Morbius now arrives in March 2021 where it will already face an uphill battle to dethrone The Eternals or Ghostbusters: Afterlife from the top of the charts, while Fast and Furious 9 comes along just two weeks later to race towards another presumed billion-dollar haul, meaning that the Living Vampire could easily become lost in the shuffle.
