Morbius: 10 Marvel Vampires Who Could Appear

While we're at it, let's get Martine Bancroft out of the way as well. Adria Arjona will play the female lead of the film and love interest of Michael Morbius.

In the comics, Bancroft is the secretary and girlfriend of Morbius. She was present during his transformation but his love for her prevented him from feeding on her blood.

As expected, dating a vampire has its risks, and it wasn't long until Bancroft became a vampire herself. Eventually, she was cured, but since there was still no effective cure for Morbius, she went out to become a "True Vampire" so that she could live with Morbius for eternity. Naturally, a tragic end befell her when Morbius was forced to stake her heart.

Again, we shouldn't be surprised if Sony follows in the footsteps of Venom and has the love interest develop the same powers as the hero. The film may very well end with Morbius having to kill the one he loves to protect her from the eternal pains of vampirism.
