“On set in London, UK standing next to a man who is brilliant beyond…… Our director Daniel Espinosa!! Over our first private dinner we both talked about and was singing the praises of a real one… Denzel Washington DanieL directed Denzel in the film SAFE HOUSE!!!! And now he’s directing me opposite Jared Leto in this #MarvelMovie #MORBIUS I have to apologize I get nervous cause he directed my all time sometimes cause he directed my all time HERO Denzel and he’s been on my #BucketList of directors I’ve always wanted to dance with…… And it happened!!!!!!!!!! #InTheWoods,” Tyrese wrote.

The upcoming movie, a Spider-Man Universe spinoff starring Jared Leto, is based on Morbius the Living Vampire. Dr. Michael Morbius (Leto) is a biochemist who attempts to cure a fatal blood disease by injecting himself with a treatment serum derived from bats. In becoming Morbius, he has all the qualities of a vampire — including a taste for human blood.

The movie is set to hit theaters on July 31, 2020.

Jared has reportedly been loosely tied to the movie for a while now, but he didn’t want to fully take on the project until he knew it was “headed in the right direction.”

Morbius is “a scientist who tried to cure himself of a blood disease, with tragic results. He became afflicted with vampiric traits such as fangs and a thirst for blood — and wound up battling Spider-Man.”

Sony has not yet given the film an official release date, but production is expected to begin this year.

Jared is also reportedly working on a standalone Joker movie.
