'Morbius' delayed again, will now arrive January 2022

This is happening for the second time this month. Sony Pictures’ upcoming Spider Man spinoff film ‘Morbius’ has been delayed yet again and will now release on January 21, 2022.

‘Morbius’ joins a long list of films that have now been delayed -- Uncharted, Ghostbusters: Afterlife, Cinderella and Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway.

‘Morbius’ was previously slated to premiere on March 19, 2021 but was then pushed to October 8. This new delay to January 2022 comes shortly after MGM delayed its latest James Bond film, ‘No Time to Die’, from April 2 to October 8.
