Morbius to be Spider-Man 4 villain?

by Liam on January 9, 2009 · Comments

In the latest issue of Empire magazine Spider-Man director Sam Raimi gave a small hint at what villain he would like to see in Spider-Man 4.

“I like it in the Marvel comics when Spider-Man fights Morbius,” said Raimi. “He’s really cool. A vampire! I like that combination of superhero plus supernatural.”

/Film reader Christopher M points out that it might make sense to use him along with The Lizard since both characters “use the same technology but have different animals involved in their research… one having blended with a lizard the other a vampire bat.”

Cramming too many villains into Spider-Man 3 didn’t work that well, so hopefully they will take that into account for the next film.

    Goyer never used him in Blade, you bet Raimi should use him!

    I would really like morbius in the fourth one. Expecially if Falesha is in it too. If you think about it, you'd get more people to come to the theaters because everyone likes vampire because of Twilight and the coming "New Moon" expecially if Falesha is in it.

    I'd like to say im nervous if Morbius will be in it. but i also agree with Melissa because id like to see Felicia Hardy be introduced and become Morbius love interest. and somewhere down the road it would pave the way for her to become Black Cat who is known as a villain/parter of spidey's as in the comics and animated series. as for Gwen Stacy, well she can always be back for a sequel. after what peter did in spidey 3, she looked like she wouldnt wanna see him again. i know its a long shot, but does anyone think it be interesting to see spidey become the Man-Spider? if you seen the 90's animated series you'll the saga im talkin about.

    i think the vulture and/or electro would be more apropriate

    Venom should return to the cinema format after only getting 15 minutes and cletus is his brother or friend so sink him in too also Doc Connors was presented in the 2nd lets do those 3 villains!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ONLY DO 4 MOVIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    ...What??? No thats so stupid use the lizard AND THATS IT! No 2 freaking villains or 3 or 4. Just one. Morbius is ok and all but not movie worthy. The Lizard is and so is electro. And venom is not the brother of or friends with venom by far Eddy met cletus in jail, got broke out because the symbiot found him, some got on cletus and now they HATE each other. Hell use Cletus and bring out carniage hes awesome too. But they can't because they'll butcher him too. they'll make cletus huge and buff kinda how they made Eddy tiny and have the wrong abilities.

    sorry GOD I HATE THE WRITERS!!! why can't they let people like us nerds help write the stories?

    So you`re a true fan right? Lots of bloggers don`t seem to be true fans. i as well am true internet fanperson and i change my mind want Carnage to be introduced at the end of Spidey 4 and then both the symbiotes in Spidey 5. and scorpion and lizard in this one.uh no they can`t hate eachother why should Venom and Carnage hate eachother? but i don`t know if they care about the fans` opinions they planned a Venom Spinoff to escape from having to put Venom in a movie. i don`t want to pressure them if they don`t care what anybody thinks.

    I think if Sam can pull it off. He can use the Lizard at the first of the movie and use Moribas as the real boss. A good start would be everything is back to being quiet. Peter goes back to doing his normal day to day stuff. Working with Doctor Coners and Morbus in his lab on the mutation ray to grow Coners arm back. Coners trys to use the ray on himself and it works and his arm grows back, that night after Peter and Moribus leave. Coners decides to do alittle more research on it. As he exams his notices it starts changing becomes more leatherish. shows a shot of him screaming and the scene cuts away.

    Peter returns the next day to find the lab totally trashed. Being Spiderman he assumes that some crazy ex-super villian (such as shocker or rhino) destroyed the lab. Turns out they are still in prison.Meanwhile Morbius is overly excited about this new machine that can finally make him human and shows his struggle to control his blood thrust. After not hearing from Doc Coners for a couple of days, Spidey decides to go looking for him. After checking his office/home and lab he pulls out the old red and blue. Thats when he notices people fleeing from the subway. Screaming and shouting things like monster. Spidey investigates and finds the lizard. After a long fight in the subway/sewers he discovers the lizards true identiy. Spidey takes Doc Coners home so he can rest (he is still not cured but spidey does not know that) .

    meanwhile Moribus return to Coners lab to find the machine destroyed. So he goes crazy and looses control of vampire side of him attacking people and sucking their blood. This gets spiderman's attention but is unable to find morbius. While going to check on Coners, Peter is approached by Felia, she informs him that Morbias has not been himself lately and asks him to check up on him. He plays it off like he does not have time and goes to find Coners who is in the middle of changing back to the lizard. Coners injects himself with a short term antidote. However now he does not have his arm. Coners tells Peter that he can control the lizard with the antidote for a couple of hours and is working on a permant cure. Coners says something like "Good thing that the machine was destroyed who knows what can do to someone that isn't human'".

    All along moribus is rebuilding the machine unaware of what it actually does. Spiderman catches him stealing the final part of the machine from Coners lab and follows him back to an old abounded building where Spidey trys to tell Morbius that its not going to work. Thats when he powers up the machine saying its the only way to stop the lust for blood. At which point the bat flies into the ray. And we all now where that going.
