The trailer had a very dark tone, and with a list of amazing actors that are a part of the project, it seems this upcoming film is actually going to be quite entertaining. 

The premise of Morbius follows the main character, Michael Morbius, played by Jared Leto. Morbius is a biochemist who has a very rare blood disease. In an attempt to cure himself of the disease, something goes wrong, causing Morbius to develop a form of vampirism. Matt Smith plays the antagonist in the movie. Smith plays the character of Loxias Crown. Other top stars in the film are Michael Keaton, Jared Harris, Tyrese Gibson, and Adria Arjona. The trailer gave a great glimpse of all the characters, with Matt Smith making a grand and dramatic appearance towards the end. According to Marvel, the film is directed by Daniel Espinosa.
