Morbius has two credits scenes, one for each year that the movie was put on hold. And those two sequences are so crazy that, for better or worse, they might be more important than the movie itself.
The two scenes are called “mid-credits,” and one starts when the movie ends and the other right after. Both scenes are linked and happen at the same time.
Spider-Man: No Way Home has a purple time gap. In Morbius’ opening credits, the same time gap is shown. To keep the multiverse from exploding, Doctor Strange has to put the world back together. The breaking of the multiverse is shown by the violet cracks in the sky in this credits scene. Leto plays a character named Morbius in the movie. Morbius’ world, which also includes Venom and Carnage, is one of the parallel universes that are threatening to spill over into Strange’s and the bigger Marvel movie universe (MCU).
Instead of Morbius or any of his kin being sent into that time, a stranger comes to Morbius’ house. Adrian Toomes, better known as the Vulture, is the bad guy from Spider-Man: Homecoming. Michael Keaton plays him. As he emerges from his own dimension, he is in jail for, among other things, stealing Tony Stark’s plane. That’s not the case in Morbius’ world, where Toomes has never been found guilty of a crime.
The second scene picks up where the first one left off. Morbius meets a free Toome. With our living vampire, the Vulture wants to form a supervillain group. This is how it would work:
He doesn’t say anything before the scene fades to black. I don’t think Morbius will join him because his own movie shows him as more of an anti-hero than a bad guy.
Compared to the credits for Spider-Man: No Way Home and Venom: Let There Be Carnage, Morbius shows that these heroes and villains could one day become one. The ultimate fan scenario would be for one of these characters to team up with Spider-Man (Tom Holland).
There was a chance that Venom would meet Spider-Man at the end of No Way Home, but the movie walked it back and quickly took him out of the MCU.
All of this “universe-colliding nonsense” is important because Marvel and Sony have done that with the film rights to different characters. Sony owns the movie rights to Spider-Man and the Spider-Verse characters. Since Spider-Man: Homecoming, Sony and Marvel have worked together to let Peter Parker, played by Tom Holland, join the MCU as Spider-Man. Sony, on the other hand, has worked on movies like Venom, Venom 2, and Morbius on its own.
And fans want to see if and when those Sony characters meet Spider-Man and maybe other Marvel characters, as well.
So maybe I’m suspicious of Toome’s decision to stay with Morbius because of the way he teased and then let down me in the past. Keaton’s Vulture may join up with Leto’s Morbius or fight each other, but it could all be wiped out by a new credits sequence. There was also a trailer that hinted at a surprise cameo, which makes it seem like the credits and a sequel is more important than what happened in Morbius.
We should find out more about Morbius, Vulture, and their future together in the near future. We’ll know for sure if there is a Morbius sequel. If we stay for the credits with one of our Spider-friends, Man’s Man, we could learn more and even faster.
