Looking forward to the debut of Morbius in cinemas set for early next year, we can witness the first transformation of Jared Leto in the living vampire.
A new clip of the film directed by Daniel Espinosa and based on the character that first appeared in the Marvel Comics in 1971.

In the video – visible below with Italian subtitles – Michael Morbius, a biochemist suffering from leukemia, after being injected with bat blood in an attempt to save his life, becomes the villain Marvel, one of Spider-Man’s enemies and by Blade.
In reality, what we can clearly see thanks to the clip is Michael’s re-transformation, which he slowly finds back into his human form, which is no longer damaged by the effects of leukemia.
In addition, Leto himself shared the new Morbius official poster on his Instagram profile.
