Bloodthirst is an interesting character and definitely a formidable foe for Morbius. Unfortunately, his origin is a little complicated, and won't translate well to the screen without a little tweaking.

Bloodthirst is one of the demon spawn of Lilith, the Vampire Goddess and Mother of the Lilin. Similar to characters like The Forgotten One, Lilith has existed for millennia and created a race of immortal or near-immortal demons with superpowers.

The demon Bloodthirst possessed Morbius for a time, using him to kill others in the name of Lilith. Eventually, Bloodthirst took his own form and went toe-to-toe with The Living Vampire, nearly killing him.

While such a backstory would be a little too bloated this early in Sony's world, calling out the existence of other vampires like Bloodthirst would be key to their long-term world building. Not to beat a dead bat, but the "hero birthing the villain" theme is a tried and true plot device.

Injecting a character with Morbius' DNA and transforming him into Bloodthirst is another easy way to keep the Morbius story moving forward smoothly.
