50 Most Anticipated Movies Of 2021

36. Morbius

Michael Morbius
Sony Pictures

The second entry into the "Sony Pictures Universe of Marvel Characters," Morbius casts Jared Leto as scientist Michael Morbius, who in an attempt to cure his blood disorder ends up becoming a vampire.

Though it's certainly easy to have low expectations for Morbius after the dubious quality of Venom and Sony's clear desperation to tether their Marvel movies to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the fact that Michael Keaton will make an appearance as Adrian Toomes aka Vulture surely lends the project a greater semblance of credibility.

It's tough to take much away from the vague marketing, but hopefully director Daniel Espinosa (Life) gets sufficiently weird with the material and makes it as dark and off-kilter as the PG-13 rating will allow.

Release Date: March 19
