Jared Leto will appear in the next Spider-Man-related Sony film, Morbius Scheduled to be released after Spider-Man: No Way Home, the film will introduce another Spidey villain: the living vampire, Morbius However, the film's release has been delayed even further than expected

However, like Eddie Brock, whom we met in "Venom" and "Venom 2: Don't Allow the Killing," the film does not seem to intend to feature Morbius as a villain Instead, like his vampire skin, there are shades of gray

Spoiler alert: This article covers news from the post-credit scene of "Venom 2" and all the rumors about "Spider-Man: No Way Home"

After a short wait, Morpheus' first full trailer finally arrived on Tuesday, November 2 The video, which makes one wonder which cinematic universe Morpheus is in, seems to foretell a lot about the clash between Sony and Marvel's Cinematic Universe

As you can see, the trailer makes numerous references to Venom (as the San Francisco incident and Morbius acknowledges Venom by name This could lead one to believe that it is part of Sony's current Spider-Man and Venom movie starring Tom Holland and Tom Hardy

However, at 1:41 in the trailer, the OSCORP logo is clearly visible on the building, and Norman Osborn's OSCORP has not yet appeared in the MCU - but is in the Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield Spider-Man films However, it did appear in Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield's Spider-Man movie

The Daily Bugle's appearance as a newspaper in the "Morbius" trailer gives more reason to believe that "Morbius" is a Sonny Verse film; in the MCU, the Bugle is rather It's J Jonah Jameson's YouTube channel, which fuels conspiracy theories The paper's headline also features Spider-Man characters Black Cat and Rhino, the former of which has yet to appear in a film, while the latter is played by Paul Giamatti in The Amazing Spider-Man 2

There is another freeze-frame in the Spider-Man street art This refers to the accusations hurled at Spider-Man/Peter Parker by Quentin Beck (Mysterio) at the end of Spider-Man: Far From Home

How does it all fit together? Well, only if there is a multiverse wall-shattering Spider-Man movie in the works Wait, the trailer for "Spider-Man: No Way Home" showed us just that

According to Deadline, "Morbius" has been delayed from January 28 and will be released on April 1, 2022 According to the media outlet, the continued success of "Spider-Man: No Way Home" contributed to the decision, and Sony does not want to take screens away from the biggest film of last year

As noted above, the big news here is the return of Michael Keaton as Adrian Toombs Is this the same Toombs who was imprisoned in Spider-Man: Homecoming? Or is this someone from another universe?
