Morbiusdirector Daniel Espinosa explains how the movie was bear upon bySpider - Man : No Way Home . issue last year on December 17 , Sony and Marvel ’s third solo - film for Tom Holland ’s Spider - Man rick out to be one of the biggest box - office sensation in late memory board , coupled with a very strong vital response as well . No Way Home ’s succeeder can largely be attributed to it utilizing the multiverse to bring various villains and past Spider - Men into the MCU , even Tom Hardy ’s Venom temporarily , before being sent back to their respective universes by the conclusion .
The late entrance in Sony’sSpider - ManUniverse , Morbius , saw its theatrical debutthis retiring weekend on April 1 , bring in in a decent $ 39 million at the box office despite devastating review article . The Marvel movie star Jared Leto as Dr. Michael Morbius , a scientist who incidentally afflict himself with a form of transgenic vampirism while curing his rarefied profligate disorder . Before the delays , Morbiuswas once scheduled to come out beforeNo Way Home .

In a newfangled interview withUproxx , Espinosa open up up about how the movie was reworked to mesh ripe withNo Way Home . One of the biggest example was the sky - cracking visual outcome first used byNo Way Homeand take care again duringMorbius ' post - credits scene to signifyMichael Keaton ’s Adrian Toomes / Vulture switch universes . BecauseNo Way Homeset this optical standard for how the multiverse process , Morbiushad to travel along suit of clothes . Read what Espinosa shared below :
It was more that when Spider - Man come up out , they state , “ We live how this works and we have a ocular construct of how to make this . ” But the idea of have unlike timelines was something that was , for me , introduce within the movie existence with Into the Spider - Verse . When we were talking about making the motion picture , Spider - Man : Into the Spider - Verse had just come in out and it was a huge achiever . I narrate the guys , I said , “ This is exceedingly common among comic book of account readers . ”
The first matter that encounter was that we had Michael Keaton because we were design on doing this . But then when Spider - Man : No Way Home came out , it said , “ This is how the optical effect are . ” And then the estimation of have him just encountering him in that universe seemed too complicated , and then we put it in the end .
There has been monolithic confusion aboutMorbius ' connection to the MCU ever since a preview revealed the inclusion of Keaton ’s Vulture , who look to meet Morbius while in prison . That scene ended up being cut back fromMorbius , and instead , Vulture only shows up during the post - credits scenes . Because ofNo Way Home , Morbiusmerely running into Vulture would have been too complicated , as Espinosa explains , so those scene had to cut , reworked , and tacked on as a post - credits teasing . Morbiusalso dilute someSpider - Manreferencesfrom the trailer , such as the " murderer " graffiti and the Oscorp building .
Though audiences have many gripes withMorbius , its post - credits scene is master among them . It ’s not only confusing in terms of how the multiverse function , but it also does n’t make much sense narratively . Much like Hardy ’s Eddie Brock , Morbius is depict more as an anti - hero , so it ’s unclear why he would want to team up with predator and fight Spider - Man , as Keaton ’s character suggests . Perhaps , Morbiuswill make more sense after more entry in Sony’sSpider - Manuniverse .
