As a long-time gamer and movie enthusiast, I’ve seen my fair share of ups and downs when it comes to film adaptations of video games or comic books. But none have left me as disappointed as Morbius, the Spider-Man spinoff directed by Daniel Espinosa.
According to Daniel Espinosa, the director of “Morbius,” many moviegoers share his view that he may not have been the ideal choice to helm Sony’s Spider-Man spinoff film. In his own words, however, there seems to be a hint of criticism towards the studio and producers for their involvement in the project. Essentially, Espinosa suggests that some interference from these parties hindered his ability to effectively direct “Morbius.”
In an interview with Deadline, Espinosa expressed his belief that creating a movie by committee is extremely challenging. He added, “I ultimately wondered if another director would have been more suited for Morbius.”
In the broader conversation, Daniel Espinosa expressed his thoughts on going back to Europe after having a mixed experience in Hollywood. He previously achieved modest successes there with films like “Safe House” starring Denzel Washington and Ryan Reynolds, and the cult-hit “Life.” However, his film “Morbius” earned him a nomination for the Razzie Award for “Worst Director” in 2022. After starting his career with hits in Sweden like Joel Kinnaman’s “Snabba Cash,” this represented a significant setback for Espinosa.
After living in America for 12 years, I came to realize that my work was gradually taking me away from the initial motivation behind creating images, as expressed by Espinosa. Consequently, I felt an urgent need to reconnect with the reason I pursue filmmaking in the first place.
As a longtime fan of the Spider-Man universe, I must express my disappointment with Sony’s recent attempts to expand it. I was excited when I heard they were making a Morbius movie with Jared Leto in the lead role, but the $167.5 million it earned on a reported budget of $75-80 million left me underwhelmed. It’s clear now that this wasn’t enough to establish a successful franchise for Leto.
Wishing J.C. Chandor, the talented director of Kraven the Hunter, great success as he prepares to release his project in the Spider-Verse universe towards the end of this year. His production is estimated to cost between $100 and $130 million.
Morbius is now streaming.
