Today, Sony Pictures Entertainment confirmed that Morbius has been delayed yet again. This newest delay pushes the upcoming Marvel anti-heroes’ vampire flick back until April 1, 2022, marking the sixth delay since its original release date announcement of July 10, 2020.
According to Deadline, the reason for the newest delay once again comes back to the COVID-19 pandemic, as the Omicron variant has caused significant issues regarding filming.
