Michael Keaton says he’s just as confused as you are about his Vulture cameo in Morbius

Michael Keaton says he’s nonetheless confused about his Vulture cameo in a post-credits scene for Sony and Marvel’s Morbius.

After successful a staring contest towards Danny DeVito and Arnold Schwarzenegger on the 96th Academy Awards ceremony, Michael Keaton is opening up about his weird cameo in Sony’s 2022 Spider-Man spin-off movie Morbius. Among the many movie’s many cinematic crimes is Keaton’s post-credits visitor spot as Adrian Toomes, aka The Vulture. Regardless of the opinion that including Michael Keaton to any movie makes it higher, followers scratched their heads in confusion when Toomes appeared. Some followers recommend this scene is one other try and tease a Sinister Six movie in Sony’s live-action Spider-Verse franchise, however we’ve heard that track earlier than. Ultimately, you will need to both make clear your intentions or scrap the undertaking fully.

On the Pleased, Unhappy, Confused podcast, Keaton admitted he’s simply as confused as everybody else about his Morbius cameo, saying, “No, no concept. None. Zero,” Keaton stated. “I imply, they stated ‘Okay’… and even they couldn’t fairly clarify it. They stated, ‘Look, let me simply sort of inform you,’ and I’m going, ‘I actually don’t fairly know what you’re speaking about and even who a few of these persons are,’ and he stated, ‘Okay, let me clarify,’ however it was difficult as a result of, clearly, they had been wanting down the highway…”

Michael Keaton’s Morbius cameo implies that, sooner or later, Adrian Toomes recruits Jared Leto’s Michael Morbius for a model of the Sinister Six, a workforce of Spider-Man’s rogues hellbent on pulling the legs off the pleasant neighborhood wall-crawler. When you think about the horrific reception of Morbius, it’s uncertain that Leto’s character will seem in any of Sony’s future Spider-films. With the field workplace failure of Morbius and, even worse, Madame Internet, Sony’s live-action Spider-Verse desperately wants re-webbing. The studio’s Kraven the Hunter, starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson because the undertaking’s title character, has but to pounce into theaters, however the outlook seems bleak.

It’s a disgrace that Keaton’s Vulture will unlikely seem in future Spider-Man movies. Keaton delivers a improbable efficiency because the scorned villain in 2017’s Spider-Man: Homecoming, with alternatives to extend his hatred for Spider-Man throughout an prolonged jail sentence. I may see Keaton bringing Vulture to new heights if given the possibility, however I gained’t maintain my breath.
