Morbius was one of the biggest box office failures by Sony, this year. Based on the Marvel comic character, Living Vampire, the movie served as the origin story of the character in Sony’s Spiderverse. Even the movie’s trailer couldn’t catch the attention of the fans and was far from convincing them to go watch it. And the ones that did go, had no good to say about it. But considering the fact, that the movie is still being discussed means that there could be some hopes for a sequel, and the actor Jared Leto is up for it. But this time he wants full creative control.

The actor feels that there is some demand for the sequel to the movie, despite its failure.

He has the credit for directing 17 movies on his IMDb, but most of them are projects related to his rock band, 30 Seconds to Mars.

But the truth is quite the contrary, the movie made only around $80 million at the box office with a reported budget of $163 million. But Sony has huge plans of making its Spiderverse grow and the upcoming movie, Madame Web starring Dakota Johnson, is proof enough. Even Jared Leto is eager to join MCU or appear in one of Sony’s Spiderverse movies as Morbius because he really is committed to the character.
Madame Web is in its early stages of production.
