The Marvel comics movie Morbius is finally getting his theatrical debut albeit now pushed back from January 28th to April 1st. The movie is among the first batch of Sony movies to hit Netflix in the newly announced first window deal. Here’s what you can expect and when you can expect Morbius on Netflix.
For predicting the rough estimation of Morbius on Netflix, we can use both the old Disney and Netflix deal and Starz’s current deal with Sony. With Bad Boys For Life, it premiered in theaters on January 17th, 2020. It was then added 201 days later to Starz on August 5th, 2020.
Bloodshot was added to Starz on August 8th, 2020 after it premiered in mid-January 2020 (roughly 150 days) whereas if we go back a bit further, the Charlie’s Angels reboot was added in June 2020 after premiering in November 2019 (223 days). With this now push back just over two months, we’re now expecting Morbius to be available at some point between August and November 2022. Will other Netflix regions get Morbius?
What we do know, however, is that many regions of Netflix do get Sony movies roughly two years after they release in theaters. Will you be heading to the cinemas to catch Morbius or will you be waiting for it to hit Netflix?
When Was Morbius Set To Be Released?
Morbius was set to be released on Friday, January 28 but it was announced on Tuesday, January 4 that the Sony film would be delayed until later in the year. Jared Leto’s first foray into the superhero realm sees him play Spider-Man villain Michael Morbius, a doctor with a rare blood disease that leads him to seek a cure, no matter the cost. Unfortunately, his experiments lead him to turn into a vampire with a thirst for blood so strong that he can’t stop himself from becoming the anti-hero of the piece.

Morbius is on the move once more as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the decision was made to change the date following a surge in cases of people with the Omicron variant. It is a new global record for daily cases as, according to Bloomberg, the highest daily case count outside the U.S. before that was on May 7, 2021, when 414,000 people were diagnosed with the Delta variant in India.
Prior to this new data, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious diseases expert, said the U.S. was experiencing a vertical increase of new cases, and also confirmed that hospitalizations had gone up. The acceleration of cases that we’ve seen is really unprecedented, gone well beyond anything we’ve seen before.
