With Jared Leto in the titular role, it follows\u00a0<em>Venom<\/em> as Sony&#8217;s next film to follow a Spider-Man antihero (if not outright villain).<\/p>\n<p>As far as teaser trailers go, it was what you&#8217;d expect: We got a quick overview of Michael Morbius, a scientist with a rare blood disease who accidentally turns himself into Morbius, the Living Vampire when he uses himself as the test subject for a dangerous cure. Comic book scientists, amirite? They should know by now the self-experimentation <em>never<\/em> works out. Be experimented on purposely or accidentally by others (i.e. Steve Rogers, Peter Parker) and you turn into a superhero. Experiment on yourself (Green Goblin, Morbius, etc.) and you become a villain. That&#8217;s just how it goes. (Comic book nerds, I know there are a lot of exceptions to this rule; please don&#8217;t ruin my joke by pointing it out.)<\/p>\n<p>The biggest thing to be excited about is the potential for crossover happening \u2013 and a deliberate hint at the Sinister Six.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1080\" height=\"810\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xqdvUcLB7nY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Yeah, that&#8217;s right. That&#8217;s none other than Michael Keaton, a.k.a. Adrian Toomes, a.k.a. Vulture in the trailer. It&#8217;s a blink-and-you&#8217;ll-miss-it moment, but nothing gets put into a trailer that&#8217;s not meant to be there. If Vulture is in there, it&#8217;s for a reason. And that reason is almost certainly that Sony and Marvel are finally teaming up for a Sinister Six movie.<\/p>\n<p>The Sinister Six is a rotating gang of criminals in Spider-Man&#8217;s rogues&#8217; gallery and a movie with them has been seriously teased since the ill-fated <em>Amazing Spider-Man<\/em> franchise. But now, with <a href=\"https:\/\/atomtickets.com\/movie-news\/spider-man-back-in-mcu-for-at-least-two-more-movies\/\">the Sony\u2013Marvel Spider-Man deal secure for another few years<\/a>, it&#8217;s a near certainty we&#8217;ll see the villain team on the big screen in the near future \u2013 perhaps in the next Spider-Man movie?\u00a0Kevin Feige himself teased last fall when the deal was struck that we&#8217;d see more crossovers between Sony&#8217;s Spider-Verse and the MCU, saying, &#8220;[Spider-Man] also happens to be the only hero with the superpower to cross cinematic universes, so as Sony continues to develop their own Spidey-verse you never know what surprises the future might hold.\u201d Which is basically Feige-speak for, &#8220;Yeah, crossovers are gonna happen, we&#8217;re just working out the details.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>If that&#8217;s the case, it opens up a world of possibility for potential Sinister Six members: Assuming crossovers are possible, not just between the MCU and Sony&#8217;s Spider-Verse, but also between animated and live-action, we already have a few candidates to join the Six as they&#8217;ve already previously appeared in movies: Morbius, Venom, Vulture, Scorpion (don&#8217;t forget \u2013 he appeared in the jail scene at the end of Spider-Man: Homecoming), and Doc Ock. Morbius and Venom and more antihero than villain these days in the comics, but for the sake of having fun, let&#8217;s assume they&#8217;d stand in opposition to Spidey in a movie. Assuming all of those characters are part of the Six, who does that leave? Well, Sony has announced they&#8217;re working on developing a film based on Kraven the Hunter \u2013 and let&#8217;s not completely write off Black Cat, who longtime Sony producer Amy Pascal said this summer was <a href=\"https:\/\/screenrant.com\/black-cat-movie-sony-plans\/\">still in the process of having her own movie developed<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This also opens the door for an even more fun team-up: Peter Parker and Miles Morales. Fans have long been clamoring to see Tom Holland&#8217;s Peter Parker cross over from Marvel into Sony&#8217;s universe or for Sony&#8217;s animated Miles Morales get the live-action treatment. This, frankly, could be the best of both worlds. If Spider-Man is indeed the only hero with the superpower to cross cinematic universes, as Feige says, what&#8217;s to stop us from getting a team-up between both Spider-Men? Or even&#8230;<em>Spider-People Vs. The Sinister Six<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The possibilities are endless. As a longtime fan of Spider-Man and also someone who professionally appreciates it when studios pull off slick crossovers, I&#8217;m looking forward to seeing how it all unfolds.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today, the teaser trailer for Morbius dropped.
