So where does this one stand now? After No Way Home, I’d say they confirmed all the Sony projects will just be doing their own thing for the most part. Do we think this plays into the MCU in any way? And I don’t mean in just a generic “everything is canon now” sort of way. Michael Keaton’s Vulture is in the movie. How that factors in, I’m not sure. Yeah I knew about that. At first I thought that meant Sony was going to try to act like it was related when Marvel didn’t care about it. But now that NWH basically confirmed the other Sony Projects aren’t happening in the mainline, I almost have to assume they won’t try to pretend Morbius is. But IDK.

Vultures sometimes eat bats so I wonder if Toomes fights Morbius in this?

For what it’s worth, I just came across a quote from the director, Daniel Espinoza, confirming that Morbius is not mainline MCU. He says specifically that there is a version of Spiderman there and that a spider totem exists in all universes, but it is not the same.
I don’t know to what extent this is news, as NWH went a long way to confirming what was already suspected from Marvel Studios hands off approach, that the Sony films were in fact taking place elsewhere, but this does effectively shut down any doubt.

LOL! It’s almost as good as an admission of defeat. Now all of the random-character-in-the-Sonyverse-is-a-part-of-the-MCU nonsense can stop.

Can Sony be legally forced to stop making movies?
Early screening reviews are hitting and best I can sum up what I’m seeing is this this is a blank. I hear a lot of no substance, no hook, no connectivity. It’s just kind of there. That’s how I felt about Venom, and I really just wish this studio would stop already. They make WB look amazing for their effort and at least staggered successes.

I’m rarely ever bothered by unpopular opinions in the fandom, but the idea that Sony deserves to be making these films and is a better custodian of the Spider-Man IP than Marvel is - that’s just beyond ludicrous at this point. I have not spent a single dime of my own money to prop up their “spider-verse” and I will not do so in the future. No Way Home’s box office guarantees we’ve got another ten years of this ahead of us. Their spin-offs are honestly not even good enough to be streaming shows.

I’m actually now more annoyed by the attempts to rally around them and boost them up as some relevant to the MCU product, when it’s abundantly clear they have no real drive to be any such thing.

The fact that this film is being released on April Fool's is almost too perfect.
Can't wait to see this film in IMAX.

So there's rumors that all the Spider-verse/MCU tie-ins are completely removed from the movie. Except for a brief appearance by Vulture in a post-credits scene. The Leak — Twitter user @tom_Smith717 claims to have seen Morbius early and tweeted recently that several of the major moments from its trailers are not in the finished cut. For instance, Smith claims that the shot of Jared Leto’s Michael Morbius walking past a piece of Spider-Man art (see below) is not in the film. The same apparently goes for the shots of The Daily Bugle and Michael Keaton that fans spotted in previous Morbius trailers.
Smith also claims that, while Michael Keaton does appear in Morbius, his scene isn’t the same one that has been repeatedly teased. Smith’s tweets were backed up by That Hashtag Show’s Nick Santos, who responded to one user’s question by confirming that the Spider-Man and Daily Bugle moments in the Morbius teasers are nothing more than “trailer bait.” Other sources report that Keaton has been relegated to a quick post-credits scene.
But as always, make sure to take these claims with a grain of salt for now.
Buckle up people...

Well I for one am very excited to see Keaton’s Batman interact with Moobius.

Now the director is suggesting that the movie is a setup for the Sinister Six movie.

19% on 79 reviews
Can we all agree to treat Sony as if they don’t exist? Is enough not enough already?

It'll make a ton of money anyway… Hardcore genre enthusiasts will see it because it falls between highly anticipated releases from either of the big two. Sony has carved out quite the niche for themselves with this gimmick, and there's no sign of them stopping. The genre is such a cash cow they no longer need or care about critical backing. I'm not going to say this is an awful movie sight unseen, but some of the reviewers who gave it glowing reviews sound mighty suss. "As good a launch as 2018's Venom. Fun theater experience if you're into comic book movies."
The genre itself is a license to print hyper-inflated money.

The genre itself is a license to print hyper-inflated money. unfortunately this is true. I don’t doubt they’ll keep going. It’s just a shame they don’t particularly care. But more than anything, I find it offensive that this negatively impacts another franchise Sony simultaneously seeks to benefit from. It’s repugnant IMO. Virtually criminal. They are a parasite. And you can see this in casual fan response and critical response who do not always know the difference. It’s just “a marvel movie”.

And you can see this in casual fan response and critical response who do not always know the difference. It’s just “a marvel movie”. Sony isn't putting any real effort into creating a shared universe with their Spider-Man spinoff IP. Their marketing is meant to suggest that they are, though. They're riding on a wave of goodwill from the MCU. The Morbius, Venom, Kraven, and Madame Webs of the CBM world are harmful to the genre. And this is how it ends… this is what will genuinely cause fatigue and indifference from audiences. The Sony films are the cheap knockoff of your favorite brand that looks convincing from a distance but, when examined closely, falls apart, leaving ink and sticky residue on your hands. God bless the craftsman, artists, and other professionals who rely on those films for their livelihood, but they're a gigantic cold sore on the mouth of the CBM landscape. They're not even trying to create a competitive product.
