As the latest COVID-19 scare has people hesitant to return to theaters, Sony has decided to move the Spider-Man spin-off film, Morbius, from its January release date all the way to April 1st. A full three months.
Morbius stars Jared Leto as the anti-hero Dr. Michael Morbius. After being diagnosed with a rare blood disorder, he is determined to save himself and others and, while he seems to have found a cure, it has come at a horrible price and “a darkness inside him is unleashed.”
Morbius is no stranger to delays, as the Marvel and Sony film was originally set to be released in theaters on July 31, 2020. Thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, Morbius was delayed from March 2021 to October 2021 to January 21, 2022, to January 28, 2022, and now, to April 1, 2022.
Other films that have had to play hop scotch with release dates during the pandemic have been Wonder Woman 1984, No Time To Die, Top Gun 2, and the Fast and Furious films.
