Morbius: 10 Marvel Vampires Who Could Appear

8. Emil Nikos

Before we found out that Loxias Crown was the villain of the film, fans speculated that Emil Nikos would hold that honor. Nikos is the best friend of Michael Morbius and a biochemist who helps Morbius develop a cure for his blood disease.

He's present for the vampire's transformation, but sadly, does not join Bancroft in getting spared. Nikos was the first victim of Michael Mobius and he later became a vampire as well.

Rumours say that Nikos is in the film. The pair won the Nobel Prize in Biology and we do know that such an event will be featured on screen. Will Nikos play a primary role in the movie or will he just be name dropped and dispatched to show Morbius' ruthlessness?

If Sony plays it smart, they can get some mileage out of Nikos. Morbius could leave him for dead, only for the former best friend to make a surprising return in another film. They could also have a dying Nikos taken prisoner by the CIA/FBI for their own experimentations.
