Morbius Still On Track for January 2022 Release, Not in the MCU Despite Claims [Update]

Update 6/15 2:09 pm PT:

Despite the claims by co-star Tyrese Gibson that Morbius has been delayed again to October 2022 and will be a part of the MCU, reports have confirmed that this is not the case.

According to GameSpot, Sony Pictures confirmed that Morbius is still on track to be released on January 28, 2022. Furthermore, Morbius will not join the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Instead, it will remain rooted in Sony Pictures’ rival Marvel universe.

Original story continues…

The COVID-19 pandemic forced every major studio to rearrange their theatrical schedules, few films faced as many delays as Morbius. The Spider-Man villain spin-off has been delayed several times over, moving from a July 31, 2020 release date to January 2022. Now, Morbius star Tyrese Gibson has claimed that the film is moving its release date again, this time to an October 2022 release. In another bold claim, the actor has stated that Morbius is set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Gibson made his comments in an interview with ComicBook.com while promoting his upcoming role in F9, the ninth mainline Fast & Furious movie.

“They just pushed the movie to October [2022] because they want to take advantage of that Halloween energy,” Gibson said.

The interview continues with the question of Morbius being set in the MCU. Gibson responded with a simple “Yes.” When the interviewer asked for clarification on the movie being set in “the Avengers world,” Gibson repeated “Yes.”

IGN has reached out to Sony for comment. We will update the story with any response that the studio has.

Earlier this month, Sony executive Sanford Panitch stated that “there actually is a plan” to connect the studio’s Spider-Man Universe to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The studio has currently set the upcoming sequel Venom: Let There Be Carnage for this September, Morbius for next year, and a Kraven the Hunter film for 2023. Aaron Taylor-Johnson was recently cast as Kraven for the upcoming spin-off.

Back in the world of mainline Spider-Man movies, the MCU-set Spider-Man: No Way Home is slated to debut in theaters this December. The upcoming sequel is expected to feature some multiverse elements, with two villains from previous Spider-Man iterations set to make appearances. Alfred Molina will reprise his role as Dr. Octopus, while Jamie Foxx’s Electro will also make a return. Additionally, the likely appearance of Michael Keaton’s Vulture in the Morbius trailer further hints at a potential tie-in between Sony’s spin-offs and the MCU.
