A Sony production, Morbius, which debuted in cinemas on April 1st, has now gained online fame despite its lackluster box office performance. As part of the newly announced first window agreement, the picture is one of the first Sony movies to debut on Netflix in the US. The film is a component of Spiderman and Marvel Comics’ shared universe. The cast was headed by Adria Arjona, Matt Smith, and Jared Leto, with Daniel Espinosa directing.

Most of you must be aware of the fact that the film became a huge meme sensation. Despite not gaining critical acclamation, the film did quite well. There have been several assertions made about Morbius‘ earnings, ranging from a claimed 283 “Morbillion” dollars to $163 million in US dollars. However, let’s see where you can stream it now.

Morbius is streaming on Netflix

It is good news for all Netflix lovers. Morbius is currently available on Netflix US after a long wait. The story of the film begins with Michael Morbius, a biochemist. He attempts to treat a rare blood illness in himself, but unintentionally contracts a sort of vampirism in the process. He gained super strength, super speed, echolocation powers, and a need for blood that can only be partially satisfied by the synthetic equivalent of what Morbius rejects a Nobel Prize for at the start of the movie. Have a look at the trailer of the film.

There has been a lot of buzz online about the Jared Leto superhero film. Sony decided to re-release Morbius in cinemas after a wave of jokes about “Morbin’ Time” across the Internet, and the picture is now likely to attract new viewers thanks to Netflix’s inexpensive price of admission. To have a film completely dominate online yet be denied success at the box office is a puzzling phenomenon. Leto’s vampire might find a new home on a streaming service in the future.
