10 Worst Sequel Baiting Moments In Recent Movies

2. Morbius

Sony's most recent attempt to continue their own Spider-Manless cinematic universe was such a bomb, financially and critically, it's not even funny... (Okay, it's a little funny. In fact, some of the memes Morbius has inspired are downright hilarious.)

Thanks to Morbius' underwhelming effects, incoherent plot, and rote performances, this vampire antihero flick didn't win anyone over. (Also, why did Morbius have a dance number? Did Sony learn ANYTHING from Spider-Man 3?)

But the one element of Morbius that received the most scrutiny is the post-credits scene. In the scene in question, Michael Keaton's character, Adrian Toomes, is transported to Morbius' universe due to the events which occurred in Spider-Man: No Way Home. After Toomes inexplicably acquires his Vulture outfit, he meets Morbius, unsubtly namedrops Spider-Man, and teases the Sinister Six showing up in a future project

Even though the producers thought this scene would get viewers psyched, all it did was prove how unstructured this cinematic universe is. It also feels like Sony are so unconfident with their work, they're relying on their connection with the Marvel Cinematic Universe to keep viewers interested. Even though Jared Leto is hoping Morbius will pop up in Blade, I wouldn't hold my breath.
