Morbius Reaches Digital May 17, Blu-Ray June 14

Morbius has been the butt of jokes in nerd circles since it came out; pretty much everyone I know thinks the film’s mere existence is hilarious. In the comics, Morbius is a minor Spider-Man villain who only shows up sometimes and isn’t very popular. One common comment I hear is “How does a Morbius movie even make sense?”

It makes sense from a business point; if you own the one piece of Marvel that Disney can’t control, you milk that cow for everything it’s worth. Because of that motive, we’re going to get a LOT of tangential Spider-Man related movies starring bit characters who would otherwise have no hope of starring roles. Morbius is just the first to arrive, in what they call the “Sony Pictures Universe of Marvel Characters.”

One of the most compelling and conflicted characters in Sony Pictures Universe of Marvel Characters comes to the big screen as Oscar® winner Jared Leto transforms into the enigmatic antihero Michael Morbius. Dangerously ill with a rare blood disorder and determined to save others suffering his same fate, Dr. Morbius attempts a desperate gamble. While at first it seems to be a radical success, a darkness inside him is unleashed. Will good override evil – or will Morbius succumb to his mysterious new urges?

If for some reason you need a Morbius Blu-Ray, Sony will at least keep you busy with a full slate of bonus features. Things like:
