Jared Leto stars as Michael Morbius, a scientist plagued with a rare blood disease that is quickly killing him. The good doctor sets out to cure himself, but in the process gains abilities akin to vampirism.

The trailer is fantastic, with a shining moment coming when the trailer reveals that this film’s set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This sheds further light on the Sony/Marvel deal, which looks to share characters in both the MCU and the Sony Spider-Verse.
