Jared Leto's Flop Spider-Man Villain Film 'Morbius' is a Streaming Hit
Jared Leto's terrible Spider-Man villain spinoff film, Morbius, was an absolute flop with critics and didn't put up huge numbers at the box office. Any hopes of a sequel were dashed when the opening weekend numbers and first reviews appeared back in Mar. 2022. Yet it has become a streaming hit on Max, landing as high as the sixth spot on the Top 10.
The film follows biochemist Michael Morbius (Leto) as he tries to cure his rare blood disorder. Taking a chance, he tries a new solution which seems to work at first. But soon, the scientist ends up becoming a vampire. Morbius the character was one of Spider-Man's most interesting villains, because he was truly conflicted: he's a genuinely good man, yet he has to tame his vampire urges.
