Actor Asim Ahmad confirmed on his twitter account that he’ll be playing Michael Morbius in Amazing Spider-Man 2. It will be a very small role with maybe two to three minutes of screen time. What are your thoughts?
@the_jack_O_lantern So how do you really feel…? Anyway, it’s been dubunked. The guy’s a lying self promoter. Shame, too. Morbius would have been awesome.
Man, I hope he gets the part! This dude is AWESOME! Clearly, born to play this part!
too chubby! Morby is slim and trim with a large motha-effing grin!
this guy looks like a turd!
Yeah I had to look into it as soon as I saw that on his bio. Good for him, now we all know how much of a liar he is. Although, if he gets cast in the movie after this I’ll be pretty blown away. I’d eat some major crow.
That tool bag said that he wrote for marvel comics. his imdb bio says that he wrote daredevil and spider-man. What an idiot.
Too bad this rumor is false. https://twitter.com/SuperHeroHype/status/278589153250267136
This actor is using this as a way to boost his credentials as an actor online. His appearance in the other films on his IMDB are also questionable.
I wanted Kevin to play Morbius 🙁
I’m suddenly reminded of the last Spider-Man movie that used multiple villains. Think it’ll work this time?
Did you get that picture on purpose?
Not who I would imagine for Morbius (Although I can’t say I can think of anyone at all), nor do I recognize him from anything. Apparently he’s had minor parts in a few Nolan films, but that’s it.
Whatever, at least we get Morbius in the film.
He’s dressed for the role, and has the looks
I´m also leaning towards setting him up for the third movie. They could still do Osborn in the same film. Could have Morbius be a lesser threat, maybe sent by Osborn.
Marc Webb has a thing for Asian actors
My thoughts are “What are Kevin Cushing’s thoughts?”!
Imagine it’ll just be a nudge-nudge cameo for the fans to enjoy. Might pay off in the final part of the rumoured trilogy, or maybe they’ll focus in on the Osborns for ASM3 and it’ll never go anywhere.
