Sony Pictures is set to debut Morbius, another antihero from its half of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, when the character’s movie drops this week. But apart from the live-action adaptation of the Living Vampire, the film has been gaining attention due to the hyped speculation that Tom Hardy might appear as the snarky symbiote as well. That definitely raises some big questions, primarily how Morbius is related to Venom and how the duo could possibly cross paths. Solving this mystery is not easy, especially given the film’s convoluted trailer, but the answers are all there.
The complicated Morbius trailer
Fans were expecting Morbius to stick to his own universe given Sony’s penchant for keeping its share of the Marvel characters in different realities. But the trailer only served to make matters more complicated, as it drops hints to all the four universes explicitly seen in the MCU so far — the one Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man exists in, Andrew Garfield’s Spidey’s universe, the MCU Earth, and the one in which Venom lives.
