Morbius’ Director Opens Up on Its Post-Credits Scene, and It’s Weird

It’s been an extended, delay-heavy highway for Morbius, which releases subsequent week. Sony’s been making an attempt their greatest to construct Jared Leto’s tragic-ish vampire as one other massive a part of their Spider-Man adjoining cinematic universe that thus far has solely led to Venom and regardless of the heck that Kraven the Hunter film goes to be. But whereas Venom saved its bigger Spidey connections for the latest Let There Be Carnage, Morbius excellent out the gate determined to construct up connections by that includes Michael Keaton’s Vulture from Spider-Man Homecoming in its trailer.

Since then, there’s been loads of hypothesis about what universe Morbius is ready in, owed moreover to the point out of a namedrop in a trailer about an “incident” in San Francisco and Morbius strolling by an alleyway that contains a poster of Spider-Man with “MURDERER” scrawled throughout it. In a Q&A interview on Twitter with CinemaBlend, director Daniel Espinosa confirmed that his vampire “lives in the same universe” as Tom Hardy’s Lethal Protector. “ It’s the same universe we saw Venom exit at the end of Let There Be Carnage, and return to at the end of Spider-Man: No Way Home,” he mentioned. Immediately after, he was requested if there was a Spider-Man on this universe, and naturally there may be. Whichever Spider-Man it’s, Espinosa mentioned that audiences would “soon,” or a minimum of he believed they might.

Espinsoa additionally talked in regards to the movie’s post-credits scene, and it’s…properly, it’s one thing. If you care, don’t go any additional than this.

Keaton’s Adrian Toomes is certainly the identical one we final noticed in Homecoming. Citing each Carnage and No Way Home, Espinosa defined how there are characters who can now apparently simply bounce between universes by some means after No Way Home’s finish. Venom and Vulture are each able to doing this, and the director teased that “others” can as properly, although he was naturally cagey about these different dimensional vacationers.

The logistics aren’t terribly clear, however what it means for Vulture is that he’s in a brand new world and metropolis the place he can pull off crimes, and the post-credits scene exhibits him making ready to do this with an upgraded swimsuit. With how the movie’s advertising and marketing has put a lot inventory into Toomes telling Morbius to embrace his internal dangerous man, you wouldn’t be unsuitable in pondering that we’re inching in the direction of a film that includes six sinister baddies. All Espinosa would say is that Vulture’s placing out job provides and “has enticed one already. So it sure looks like a start.”

It’s value remembering how Sony’s been very decided to make the Sinister Six a factor for practically a decade—the lineup was revealed within the post-credits scene of Amazing Spider-Man 2, and Insomniac’s 2018 recreation had their very own tackle the Six. Additionally, the ending of Homecoming noticed an imprisoned Toomes be requested by Michael Mando’s Mac Gargan (aka Scorpion) if he needed to assist kind a crew to go after Spider-Man, however Toomes did Peter Parker a strong and refused.

After managing to lock down 5 villains for No Way Home, which made a silly amount of cash, it appears to be like like Sony needs to take a second stab at bringing some dangerous guys collectively. But whether or not they can pull it off, and with what Spider-Man for them to tangle with, should wait to be seen.

Morbius releases in theaters on April 1. Look for our evaluate quickly.
