Variety is reporting that Sony is developing a Moribus the Living Vampire movie. It’s hired Burk Sharpless and Matt Sazama to write a script. The two have a few movies that include “Gods of Egypt,” “Dracula Untold” and “The Last Witch Hunter.” The most recent “Power Rangers” movie is probably the most successful. What are your thoughts on the movie? Does it need to have Spider-Man in it?
Marvel has sent the Crawlspace a bunch of previews of Spider-Titles coming out on May 12th, 2021. Will you be picking these up from your local comic shop? Discuss in the comment section.
Thanks to my friend Thomas Deja for pointing this one out to me, because I’d never heard of it. Evidently actress Kirsten Dunst, better knows for playing Mary Jane in the Spider-Man movies, has done […]
Bertone was able to track down Amazing Spider-Man writer Dan Slott to hold up the sign. You’ve gotta admit, he was a good sport to do this. I told Bertone to tell Slott that he […]

Of course, any article about Morbius must include this: http://www.4thletter.net/whatif/morbiussharks.jpg
“He goes out like a bitch Kevin!”
Gods of Egypt is incredibly bad, even without acknowledging the white actors playing Egyptian characters. I only saw it because a podcast I listen to reviewed it – I’ll never get those 2 hours back.
a) No one outside of hardcore Spidey fans knows or cares about Morbius. This isn’t Venom we’re talking about, who actually has a fan-base independent of Spidey. About 5 people give a crap about Morbius.
b) “Gods of Egypt,” “Dracula Untold” and “The Last Witch Hunter” are all really critically panned movies with very low Rotten Tomatoes scores. Why would you hire these screenwriters? This garbage will probably have a 10 or 20% RT score.
These two factors combined I see this being a huge bomb at the box-office. This makes far less sense than a solo Venom film. I don’t know what Sony is thinking.
Hopefully the death of the Marvel Sonymatic Universe. Get these characters back where they belong.
The articles about this story I’ve read this week have really been pushing that Morbius is “an anti-hero” instead of “a villain”. “No, he’s not a bad guy, he’s just a good guy that goes farther than regular heroes … by killing people by drinking their blood.”
