Ghostbusters has a July 10, 2020, release date, and Morbius — starring Jared Leto and based on Marvel’s vampire antihero — will come out three weeks later July 31.
The studio also has a placeholder for a Marvel pic on October 2, 2020. That’s likely now to be Venom 2.
In the comics, Martine, who is engaged to Morbius, becomes a potential victim to his bloodlust as he grapples with the transformation that has made him a weird laboratory version of the supernatural vampires of lore.

MATT TOLMACH: Morbius is the next one.
So Jared Leto is definitely doing it?
TOLMACH: Yes, sir.
Do you know when you start filming?
ARAD: More or less, February?
TOLMACH: Yeah, the plan is early part of next year. We’re still working on it.
The Oscar-winning actor has signed on to star in Morbius, Sony’s latest entry into its Marvel-based, Spider-Man-centric universe of characters.
Daniel Espinosa, the Scandanavian filmmaker who helmed Safe House and last year’s sci-fi thriller Life, will direct the feature project that has a script by Burk Sharpless and Matt Sazama, the duo showrunning Netflix’s Lost in Space.
Morbius was created by writer Roy Thomas and artist Gil Kane and first appeared in Amazing Spider-Man #101, the first issue not written by Spider-Man co-creator Stan Lee.
Morbius is Dr. Michael Morbius, a scientist who suffered from a rare blood disease and attempted to cure himself to disastrous results. He instead became afflicted with a condition that was a form of vampirism — the thirst for blood, along with fangs and super strength — and fought Spider-Man. Over time, however, he became a slightly heroic figure in his own right.
