Sony continues to search for the key to success in their Spider-Man universe without Spider-Man, following the disappointment of both Madame Web and Morbius. Recently, Jared Harris, a member of the Morbius cast, spoke about the film and offered an explanation for its lackluster box office performance.
Jared Harris, also known for his role in Foundation, a science fiction series on Apple TV+, shared in an interview with The i paper that he believes the film needed more humor: “I’ve observed that these kinds of stories work well when they have humor. You can’t treat it like a piece of Shakespeare. So yes, that film could have benefited from a sharper sense of humor.”
“I have a mortgage to pay”
Harris also mentioned in his conversation with the British media outlet that he agreed to be in the Sony & Marvel production for one reason: “I have to pay a mortgage, you know? Sometimes you say yes to things because you need to earn money.” Certainly, signing on for these types of productions allows you to then choose your next project without the constant pressure of needing to make money.

The British actor is the latest in a growing list of stars who seem to have not gained much artistically from their involvement in Sony’s films developed in partnership with Marvel Entertainment. For example, Sydney Sweeney stated a few months ago that she agreed to be in Madame Web in order to get closer to Sony and greenlight other films she was interested in.
Meanwhile, Michael Keaton is still puzzled about his role in Morbius. It’s worth noting that the actor appeared as the Vulture in a post-credits scene in the film starring Jared Leto and directed by Daniel Espinosa. Morbius is currently available on Prime Video. The Sony franchise will soon return to theaters with the release of Kraven the Hunter and then Venom 3.
