This is more of a question from the business side of things, but a very important one nonetheless. "Morbius" is doing a lot of heavy lifting with these multiversal connections but that begs the question, is Sony assuming a certain level of success here? That is a dangerous game to play because this movie is by no means a guaranteed hit. To that end, what happens if this movie flops both critically and commercially? "Venom" took it in the teeth with critics but did gangbusters business at the box office. "Morbius" can't be a money-loser financially and justify a continuation of the franchise.
Do Sony's future plans hinge on this movie being a success? Can they pivot if it's a failure? Are other movies like "Kraven the Hunter" hinging on this movie doing well? If the studio went all-in, they may have accidentally built a house of cards that could come tumbling down. But without knowing more of what's going on behind the scenes, it's all relegated to the realm of speculation and wonder. We'll see what happens soon enough.
"Morbius" is currently set to hit theaters on January 28, 2022.
