This movie doesn't exist.

 

Following this across Twitch last weekend gave me Memorial Day weekend joy since I didn't get to go see Maverick, yet.  I watched bits and pieces, and there was even someone broadcasting 16 different screens of it simultaneously!  (Complete with a "HaveSex" constant mini-screen of Matt Smith's now-infamous scene in the corner for whenever the sound died down!)

 

Is this the moment peak cinema transcends existence as a tangential object? 

 

Come on folks, you KNEW Sony would attempt to capitalize off this!  And yes, any talk is better than no talk -- this has all generated the possibility of a sequel or at least some re-appearance of the character!

jared leto is gonna say "it's morbin time" in the morbius 2 trailer and that line won't end up in the movie.

Memes control Hollywood. 

[tonytr87]

Sony is so stupid for doing this. 

[WittyUsername]

Are they going to ADR “It’s Morbin Time” into the movie?

For a while it looked as if Sony films had turned the corner, and had lost the title of 'The Big Studio Who Can Do Nothing Right" but a few more decisiions like this and they will be right back down there.

Wait. This expanded today. Don't theaters realize the people making the memes have no intention or want of seeing this?

[DAJK]

Sony saw the Binley Mega Chippy Morbius Meal and realized they needed to hop on this.

The jury's still out on this Morbin' move by SONY, and sure, I wouldn't join any fight for the movie as some unacknowledged piece of genius, but I think there's a bit of over-exaggerated fanboy critique of its Spider-verse properties that misses everything else the studio is accomplishing.  They were the one major holdout against streaming throughout the pandemic, and it worked out for them.  We have to be fair here to SONY CEO Tom Rothman's recent record: His contract was re-upped in July 2021, he was promoted to CEO (already being Chairman), and presided over what turned out to be SONY's best year-ever in terms of box office, and they nearly beat Disney for 2021 highest-grossing studio.  Sure, a lot of this had to do with Spider-Man: No Way Home (which is Sony's highest-grossing movie ever), but Rothman will get the cred for presiding over that, too.  His tenure has been *very* successful for the studio.  

 

Here's a great new interview with him:

Leto has the Morbius 2 Script??? 😃

 

[Deep Wang]

I think the best possible outcome is for there to never be a sequel.  But for the rest of his life every fan interaction, junket, press event, interview or whatever, he is always asked to say the line and ask him "So when is Morbius 2 happening??"

[Blaze Heatnix]

Getting a sequel or not, I'm pretty sure that Morbius will eventually appear in another Sony MCU movie.

[ddddeeee]

lmao @ Jared Leto not realising people are laughing at him, not with him.

[Yandereprime101189]

It's Morbtime now.

Why would you want to watch Top Gun this weekend if you can experience Morbius again?
