Jared Leto Will Star in 'Spider-Man'🕷 Spin-Off 'Morbius'*

Jared Leto has landed a role in the Spider-Man spin-off Morbius!

The 46-year-old Suicide Squad actor will star in the film based on the Spider-Man villain of the same name, and Safe House director Daniel Espinosa will helm, Variety reports.


Jared has reportedly been loosely tied to the movie for a while now, but he didn’t want to fully take on the project until he knew it was “headed in the right direction.”

Morbius is “a scientist who tried to cure himself of a blood disease, with tragic results. He became afflicted with vampiric traits such as fangs and a thirst for blood — and wound up battling Spider-Man.”
