When it comes to superhero flicks, I’m usually one of first in the cinema queue, even though I know little about most of those characters, other than their comic-book origins and main arch-enemies. Yes, I love the likes of Batman, Spider-man and Superman but wouldn’t class myself in the bracket of ‘geek’. So once again this little nugget of news, I really know bugger all when it comes to villains outside the main crop of baddies.
In the meantime, actor Asim Ahmad has claimed via twitter that he’s set to appear in a small role in Marc Webb’s wall-crawling sequel THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2 as Michael Morbius, the biochemist known for experimenting on himself with vampire bats and electroshock therapy in an attempt to cure a rare blood disorder. As is customary with such individuals, it all went tits-up, turning himself a badass bloodsucker, apparently! Ahmed announced:
Morbius is only mentioned in two pages, not a big part, but it’s gonna be a blast.
Could this be a mid/post credits sequence setting up a bigger appearance in the concluding third part, much like the prison scene in the franchise reboot? We’ll find out when THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2 is released in cinemas summer 2014. The film will star Andrew Garfield, Sally Field, Emma Stone, Martin Sheen, Dane DeHaan, Shailene Woodley and Jamie Foxx as main villain Electro.
