In fact, it doesn’t even clarify whether Morbius will be hero, villain, or anti-hero.…

While not every director works out, for the ones that really nail it, Marvel Studios does whatever it can to bring them back for sequels. This gives a uniform and cohesive feel to the character’s story. However, even when it seems like a great fit, it doesn’t always work out in the end. Case in point: Doctor Strange Into the Multiverse of Madness. It would seem that Scott Derrickson is out as director. A…
