The Spider-Man Universe expands with Morbius 2: The Hunt Begins, a gripping sequel directed by Daniel Espinosa. Set to release in 2025, this installment dives deeper into the world of antiheroes, villainous alliances, and multiversal intrigue, featuring Jared Leto reprising his role as Dr. Michael Morbius.
Plot Overview
After narrowly escaping New York City, Dr. Michael Morbius battles his growing bloodlust while staying hidden from both law enforcement and supernatural forces that hunt him. However, the emergence of a dangerous predator targeting rogue villains forces Morbius into action.
Adrian Toomes (Michael Keaton) reemerges with a bold plan to assemble a team strong enough to take down Spider-Man. Teaming up with Venom (Tom Hardy), Kraven the Hunter (Aaron Taylor-Johnson), and Madame Web (Dakota Johnson), Toomes recruits Morbius into their fold. But chaos erupts with the return of the Green Goblin (Dane DeHaan), whose multiversal secrets threaten reality itself.
As alliances crumble and betrayals surface, Morbius faces an impossible choice: join the Sinister Six or risk becoming their next target. The ultimate showdown pulls Spider-Man and Venom into the fray, with the fate of the SPUMC (Sony Pictures Universe of Marvel Characters) hanging in the balance.
