Although Sony’s Marvel film Morbius wasn’t particularly popular upon its initial release, it’s still managed to circulate over social media. In fact, many “ironic” fans of Morbius have been sharing memes online. One such meme is the made up phrase, “It’s Morbin’ Time.” The phrase has become so popular, in fact, that even Morbius star Jared Leto has decided to use it. As you can see, he decided to pair it with a fake script for “Morbius 2.”
Of course, it’s unknown if there are any official plans for such a film. Especially given that the first film has done so poorly at the box office. But Jared Leto seems to enjoy making fun of that fact. Here’s the video below with the following appropriate caption:
“What time is it?”

As stated above, it seems unlikely that Morbius will get any kind of sequel – so maybe don’t bet on Morbius 2. With that said, Sony still seems eager to build its universe of Spider-Man-related characters. They have a third Venom film in the works along with a Kraven the Hunter movie and even a Madame Web film. So there are plenty of possibilities for Jared Leto’s incarnation of Morbius to appear as a supporting character. So while he might not return for a proper sequel, there are still plenty of chances for the character to come back. Especially if these memes manage to keep the character alive.
In fact, Sony has recently brought Morbius back to theaters for this weekend because of the memes. As of this writing, however, it looks like the film is once again making a lackluster run at the box office. Perhaps it’s the memes that are the only things Morbius has going for it. Stay tuned to ScreenGeek if there are any additional updates on the character and brand as we have them. And remember – It’s Morbin’ Time.
