Nov. 2 (UPI) — Jared Leto is a super-powered vampire who is fighting his urge to hunt and consume blood in the new trailer for Morbius.
Leto portrays Dr. Michael Morbius who performs a risky experiment to cure himself of a rare blood disorder in the clip released on Tuesday.
The experiment transforms Morbius into a vampire, granting him increased strength, speed, bat radar and the ability to fly.
Morbius is struggling to control his newfound power, which can transform him into a deadly predator. Government officials are hot on his trail as Morbius tries to save lives instead of end them.
Morbius also receives help from Tyrese Gibson’s Simon Stroud and makes a reference to Sony’s Venom series of films, which star Tom Hardy.
Morbius, based on the Spider-Man villain of the same name, is coming to theaters on Jan. 28.
Co-stars include Adria Arjona, Matt Smith, Jared Harris, Al Madrigal and Michael Keaton. Daniel Espinosa serves as director.
