Morbius the Living Vampireis about to start filming in the U.K. Actor Jared Leto shared a new video on social media to tease the occasion. Back in November, Leto posted a video of himself shaving for what must have been screen tests, though some believed that production started late last year. With that being said, it looks like everything is getting ready to go, though Leto still might need to shave before everything starts rolling.
WhenJared Letoshared the last tease, he made a production out of shaving his beard, which has been a staple of his look for the past handful of years. The new video is silent and features a short loop of the actor moving around under a red light, which could have some deeper meaning forMorbius, but that isn’t apparent just yet. Leto included a hashtag for the movie and tagged his location in the U.K., which is where production will more than likely begin in the next few days.
After the massive success of Sony’sVenom, the studio wasted no time getting a sequel running while also developingMorbiusto be its next release. The moviehits theaters on July 31stwithVenom 2following behind in September. There’s still a lot about the upcoming vampire movie that is unclear, but now that filming is getting ready to start, we should see some set photos leak in the near future. It’s quite possible that Jared Leto will keep fans up to date on social media while the production process moves ahead.
Jared Leto is no stranger to theworld of comic book movieshaving served as the DCEU’s Joker inSuicide Squad. It’s not clear if the actor will be returning to the role in the future, or if he is completely finished. With that being said, Warner Bros. and DC Films are going ahead with Todd Phillips’Jokermovie starring Joaquin Phoenix, which takes place outside of the DCEU. Leto was reportedly taken aback when he learned that the studio was making a Joker movie without him. However, there have been rumors that theJoker and Harley Quinnmovie will move forward.
It’s going to be interesting to see howMorbiusandVenom 2perform at thebox officesince they’re coming out so close together. Jared Leto is bringing a new character to the big screen, while theVenomsequel will fully introduce Woody Harrelson’s Carnage, which Marvel fans have been waiting to see for quite some time now. IfMorbiusends up doing well at the box office, we could very well see Eddie Brock and the Living Vampire share the screen at some point in the future, though that has not been officially confirmed. For now, we’ll just have to wait. In the meantime, you’re able to check out theMorbiusproduction start below, thanks toJared Leto’s Instagramaccount.
