Answer: Jared Leto

Based on the Marvel Comics character, Morbius, the Living Vampire, ‘Morbius‘ is a 2022 superhero movie starring Jared Leto that was released in the US on April 1, 2022.

The movie, the third film in the Sony-Spider-Man Universe (SSU), grossed $146 million shortly after release against its budget of $75–83 million, making it ninth highest-grossing movie of 2022 thus far.

Jared Leto, who had earlier played the Joker in two DCEU movies, played the role of the titular character, Dr Michael Morbius, who, as per the comics, is an adversary of vampire hunter Blade.

“I loved that it was the very first time this character was going to be on screen. I’ve always been interested in transformation, and this was a way to explore that territory in a big Marvel film. It was impossible to say no,” Leto told Variety about being cast in the role.

A trained biologist and biochemist, Dr Morbius possesses genius-level intellect. Additionally, by virtue of being a vampire, he has superhuman strength, speed, sense, and endurance. As per the Marvel Comics, Morbius also has the ability of flight, can hypnotise people, and possess accelerated healing capabilities.

The character made its debut in 1971 in The Amazing Spider-Man #101, which, incidentally was the first issue of Spider-Man written by someone other than co-creator and Marvel Comics editor-in-chief Stan Lee.
