Jared Leto’s Morbius (2022) became an internet sensation that’s gotten out of hand, especially with Sony Pictures re-releasing the “meme” movie back in theaters after false social media engagement led the company to believe there was a demand for more Dr. Michael Morbius.
Now, with Marvel fans turning “it’s Morbin’ time” into a landmark catchphrase (that didn’t appear in the movie), Deadpool 3 could usher in the wave of more Morbius into the MCU:
Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick on making Morbius jokes in ‘DEADPOOL 3’.
“We haven’t seen ‘Morbius’. We haven’t even seen the memes. But now it’s on our radar. Now we’ll have to.”

While Jared Leto probably won’t be making an appearance in Deadpool 3, Wade Wilson’s “Merc with a Mouth” could name-drop the controversial movie.
Now, fans are coming up with ideas on how to flawlessly execute a Morbius nod in Ryan Reynold’s Deadpool trilogy:
Just recreate this scene with Ryan, wearing full Deadpool attire, and release it in the form of a fake viagra commercial or something. Like how they did that Bob Ross thing for Deadpool 2.

With Marvel calling out DC’s lackluster Green Lantern superhero movie — starring Ryan Reynolds — in a hilarious manner in Deadpool 2 (2018), who’s to say that Jared Leto doesn’t appear in the highly anticipated Deadpool saga.
Nonetheless, would the joke be stretched thin? Has Morbius become the black sheep Marvel movie that should go unmentioned in the future? Only time will tell, especially with fans not pushing Sony to produce a sequel to this vampire flick.

Tom Holland’s Avenger is leading the way for Marvel Cinematic Universe newcomers Kate Bishop, Ms. Marvel/Kamala Khan (Iman Vellani), Moon Knight (Oscar Isaac), Agatha Harkness (Kathryn Hahn), She-Hulk (Tatiana Maslany), Eternals’ Thena (Angelina Jolie), and more — especially with his next Spider-Man trilogy that’s currently in the works.
