While Peter Parker is the OG star of the Spider-Man comics, Sony is banking on the popularity of the world which Marvel created and is about to release a spin-off based on Dr. Michael Morbius. 

Jared Leto is set to star as the titular character who is a scientist dying of a rare blood disease that accidentally turns himself into a vampire. The trailer for Morbius was recently released, with the Chernobyl actor giving fans food for thought that he’ll be playing another Spidey villain — Dr. Otto Octavius aka Doc Ock. 

“No,” Harris said when asked by Variety if that was the case. “I love the imagination that the fans have, it’s exciting for me to think about the imagination that fans have. But yeah no, it’s not.”

We’ll have to wait until July 31^st to find out who he’s really playing…

Jared Harris has been cast in Morbius, one of the serval projects currently in development based on characters from the Spider-Man comics. 

The films center on the infamous biochemist, Dr. Michael Morbius, created by writer Roy Thomas and artist Gil Kane. Dr. Morbius first debuted in the 1971’s The Amazing Spider-Man #101 issue. In the comics, he is a Nobel Prize-winning biochemist who is transformed into a vampire while attempting to cure a rare blood disease. After treating himself with serum derived from bats, he turns into an anti-hero, which includes a taste for human blood. 

Harris, whose role is being kept under wraps, will star opposite Jared Leto, who plays the titular villain. 

Set to direct is Daniel Espinosa from a script by Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless. Avi Arad, Matt Tolmachm and Lucas Foster are producing. 

Harris’ credits are many, including television’s Mad Men and The Crown, as well as the features The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, and Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows.
