Question 1

What unusual method did Jared Leto use to stay in character as Michael Morbius, and how did it affect production?

Accepted Answer

Jared Leto used crutches even off-camera to capture Morbius' limping state, which caused delays when he took 45-minute bathroom treks. The crew solved this by pushing him in a wheelchair.

Question 2

How did Manchester, UK double for New York City in the film?

Accepted Answer

New York scenes were filmed in Manchester's Northern Quarter, with all city lights, signs, and license plates changed to match those found in New York.

Question 3

Why did Matt Smith join 'Morbius' after previously turning down other superhero roles?

Accepted Answer

Matt Smith joined due to director Daniel Espinosa's involvement and encouragement from his former Doctor Who co-star Karen Gillan, who plays Nebula in the MCU.

Question 4

What reference to another Sony Marvel film appears in 'Morbius', and what line was cut from the final movie?

Accepted Answer

Agent Ramirez references 'that thing in San Francisco,' a nod to Venom (2018). Morbius says 'I am Venom' to a thug, but the trailer's follow-up line 'I'm just kidding...' was cut.

Question 5

Why were J.K. Simmons' scenes as J. Jonah Jameson removed from 'Morbius'?

Accepted Answer

Simmons filmed scenes as J. Jonah Jameson, but between the original shoot and Spider-Man: No Way Home, it became clear Morbius wasn't in the same universe as that version of Jameson, so his scenes were cut.
