Sony Pictures has planted flags for two Marvel projects in 2020, the company said on Wednesday.
The first film is a "Untitled Sony / Marvel" dated July 10, 2020 and the second, "Untitled Sony / Marvel Sequel", is dated October 2, 2020.
The first project will probably be "Morbius", which will feature the Oscar-winning director Jared Leto under the direction of Daniel Espinosa and is based on the Marvel comic book. Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach will produce with Lucas Foster. Palak Patel will supervise for the studio. Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless wrote the script.

The character of Morbius was created by Roy Thomas and Gil Kane and first appeared in "The Amazing Spider-Man", No. 1. 101 in 1971. In comics, Michael Morbius is a prize-winning biochemist Nobel transformed into a vampire while he was trying to cure rare blood disease through a highly experimental approach involving electroshock treatment … and vampire bats.
As a "pseudo-vampire", Morbius does not have all the powers of a real vampire and is not subject to all his traditional limitations and weaknesses, according to Marvel's story.
Morbius was almost on the big screen before. In 2000, when Avi Arad was president and CEO of Marvel Studios, the company entered into an agreement with Artisan Entertainment to turn at least 15 Marvel superhero franchises into real action movies, television series, live movies or internet projects. Morbius would have been among the franchises.
The second project is probably a sequel to "Venom", which has raised $ 779 million in box office since its release in October.
All 53 Marvel-rated movies, including 'Venom & # 39; and & # 39; Ant-Man & the Wasp & # 39;
With more than 30 years of Marvel films released in theaters, there is still time to rank everything from "Howard the Duck" to "Black Panther" this year, "Avengers: Infinity War", "Deadpool 2", "Ant – Man and wasp "and" venom "
53. "Fantastic Four: Rise of Silver Surfer"
Just a nightmare. A total nightmare. There have been a number of bad superhero movies, but from the gas cloud talking to the directors of Galactus casting to Jessica Alba's dye work, this one transcends the bad.
52. "X-Men Origins: Wolverine"
A totally chaotic jumble of nonsense that tells how Wolverine got his claws. Features a first version of Deadpool (also played by Ryan Reynolds) whose mouth is stapled, which should tell you everything you need to know about it.
51. "Elektra"
Those five minutes, when they tried to turn Jennifer Garner into an action star, went as smoothly as they should.
50. "X-Men: The last fight"
Just a total, incoherent mess of the word "go". After losing the director of the first two X-Men movies, Brian Singer, in the first attempt to restart Superman, his replacement, Matthew Vaughn, gave way to eventual director Brett Ratner, who may have killed the kind of superhero if "Spider-Man" did not blow up the movie. box office.
49. "Fantastic Four" (2015)
It might have been a good movie somewhere here – the cast (Michael Jordan, Miles Teller, Kate Mara) deserved one. But this Frankenstein movie is a behind-the-scenes horror story, and you can see it in the final product totally disjointed.
48. "Daredevil"
It was essentially "Early 2000s: the movie" with Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner, Colin Farrell and Michael Clark Duncan as the main actors. The cherry on the peat sundae was that damn Evanescence song.
47. "Fantastic Four" (2005)
The first "Fantastic Four" of Tim Story is here, reminding you that it exists. With Chris Evans, who played the torch here, embodies Captain America in the Marvel film universe, which is getting more and more difficult every year.
45. "The Punisher" (2004)
This is the Punisher as a straight revenge thriller, and it's not bad. Thomas Jane performs admirably, but it lacks anything more than it would have raised beyond the rates of the genre. Putting it in Tampa did not help.
44. "Spider-Man 3"
The bad may be on the right here, but the Emo Peter Parker's dance number remains one of the greatest unique moments in a comic film, sorry, his enemies.
43. "Howard the duck"
A notorious box office flop and, yes, it's not really "good". But now, 30 years after its release, "Howard the Duck" is quite amusing as a relic of the '80s.
42. "The Punisher" (1989)
Dolph Lundgren and Louis Gossett Jr. play the lead role in a classic 80s grunge apartment rent. This one is all novelty value.
41. "Ghost Rider"
For a film starring Nic Cage about a guy who rides a Harley and turns into a flaming skeleton, it's a surprisingly banal movie.
40. "The amazing Spider-Man"
We may never be able to understand what was wrong with Marc Webb's Spider-Man dualism, but his choice of Andrew Garfield to play Peter Parker is always brilliant. It's just that this movie does not make any sense.
39. "X-Men"
The beginning of the current wave of theatrical superhero movies, "X-Men" was a kind of bum and it showed. It was a novel at the time, but it's now about a trivial mid-budget action, while Fox was just planting his foot in the air. waters of the superheroes. Shy.
38. "The Incredible Hulk"
It's sometimes hard to remember that this one is part of the MCU since he has placed Ed Norton in the role of Dr. Banner since he's been inhabited by Mark Ruffalo in the "Avengers" movies. It's also hard to remember because it's usually not memorable.
37. "Thor"
The fantasy film Marvel is directed by Kenneth Branagh, who covers the entire film in the form of inclined planes and theatrical styles. It's pretty boring too, but at least it looks cool.
36. "The amazing Spider-Man 2"
More of the same intrigue hack-n -slash impossible to follow from the previous movie, compensated by Andrew Garfield continuing to be awesome and Jamie Foxx going well above like the big bad guy.
35. "Thor: the world of darkness"
"The Dark World", unlike the first film of "Thor", is certainly not boring. If anything, he suffers from the opposite problem, goes so fast and so fast that he loses substance.
34. "Blade: Trinidad"
With a pre-Deadpool shot around Ryan Reynolds, essentially playing a Deadpool killing vampires, throwing doubled as if his mother's life depended on it, it may not be a "good" movie, but it's Is fun.
33. "X2: X-Men United"
A big step forward compared to the first "X-Men", both in terms of production and quality, it still lacks a lot of energy. Which is inexcusable when you have Alan Cumming as a mutant Nightcrawler who teleports all over your movie.
32. "Spider-Man"
Sam Raimi truly assembled the prototype superhero movie with this first entry in the "Spider-Man" franchise, in 2002. As "X-Men" before her, "Spider-Man" is a little disappointing today, but unlike "X-Men" he was proud of his nerd roots.
31. "X-Men: Apocalypse"
It could have been a weird ironic summer classic if it had been structured like a real movie and had no character development. Instead, it's just a visual adrenaline shot that I will probably want to see again at some point – but not when I'm sober
30. "Avengers: Age of Ultron"
"Ultron" is frustrating for what it lacks – mainly the feeling of advancing the narrative arc of the Marvel cinematic universe. But as in the first movie "Avengers", his weaknesses are overcome by an excellent work of character.
29. "Iron Man"
It was the reappearance of Robert Downey Jr. on the big screen, and he is flawless in this original story that leads Tony Stark from the billionaire inventor of playboy weapons to the billionaire playboy weapons maker.
28. "Blade"
Pure B-movie trash, which is good because it is precisely what it aims for: bloody, rude, awesome. By the way, Blade remains the only black comic book character besides "Steel" from Shaquille O 'Neal to get his own movie, although Marvel's "Black Panther" is scheduled for 2018.
27. "Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance"
For the future, they exploited the duo of directors "Crank" known as Neveldine / Taylor. It was an inspired choice, because "Spirit of Vengeance" was as scathing as you would like a comic strip movie in PG-13 format. Too bad it was apparently quite stressful to separate the tandem from Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor.
26. "Captain America: the first avenger"
Many people like to complain that all superhero movies are the same. But it was also a very good movie about the Second World War.
25. "Punisher: War Zone"
While the previous movie "Punisher" was melodramatic and contemplative, this one is only deadly. And his impressive.
24. "Guardians of the galaxy"
Graphically, this never makes much, but the strength of the distribution and the strange world they explore make up for it.
23. "Blade 2"
The dear nerd Guillermo del Toro succeeded this one and pushed everything to 11. Up to more vampires, more blood, more people being sliced - and of course bad guys whose jaws can get crack and swallow the whole head of a person.
22. "Big Hero 6"
Disney animation studios have made a Marvel movie, and it's really nice. Of course, this is the children's version of Marvel, but that does not stop it from being a fully satisfying experience.
21. "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.2"
An improvement over the first movie and an absolute delight from one moment to the next – but it never really fused to form a coherent whole, because many secondary intrigues intrigue the main plot and deprive it of its impact emotional. Would be a top 5 of the comic film if he had just reigned in the plot.
20. "Hulk"
In 2003, the modern wave of superhero films was still in its infancy, and Ang Lee, still the best filmmaker to make a cartoon movie, became experimental with "Hulk". And what he did was an incredible melodrama with visual styles meant to ape comics. The film did not seduce the audience, but "Hulk" remains one of the most fascinating and interesting Marvel films to date.
19. "The wolverine"
It was just a legitimately enjoyable melodramatic action movie. Of course, it turns into a video game boss battle in the end, but most of the time, it's just a movie.
18. "venom"
How can anyone resist the attraction of Tom Hardy in comedy? This movie knows exactly what it is trying to be and what it is trying to be is silly, fun and nothing else. And it's extremely fun.
17. "X-Men: The days of the future past"
His time travel logic is a little blurry, but "Days of Future Past" is always extremely entertaining because, although epic, it is not too serious. As "Back to the Future" we learned a long time ago, you can afford to do a lot of logical jumps if you choose the right tone.
16. "The Avengers"
The story is a total mess, based largely on the memories of moviegoers of previous MCU films (if you do not remember or do not know what the Tesseract was, hoo boy). But the novelty of Marvel's first great team of superheroes was irresistible, and director Joss Whedon expertly balanced his ensemble, leaving it to everyone to do it, so that none of them they do not take second place.
15. "Deadpool"
In the moments of anguish and anger in which we live, "Deadpool" is perfect. Aggressively violent and flippant, it's the exact emotional release we needed.
14. "X-Men: First class"
The first movie "X-Men" that could be described as "fun". It's basically two films in one, but the contact of director Matthew Vaughn is so nice and enjoyable that it works anyway, thanks in large part to a brilliant cast including Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence and James McAvoy.
13. "Spider-Man: Homecoming"
This is not really the best movie of "Spider-Man", but it's still an absolute delight, with a cast filled with thieves of scenes. Michael Keaton as a vulture is one of the best villains in Marvel.
12. "Deadpool 2"
Although you can have a boost in the very serious and occasional emo scenes of the "Deadpool" sequel, the rest of the movie is quite charming, succeeding in one way or another at to be even more funny – and even more violent – than the original.
11. "Ant-Man"
"Ant-Man" was a first for the MCU being a pure comedy. And it is a very good movie, with a distribution that suits him perfectly. In addition to Paul Rudd who plays Ant-Man himself, Michael Pena is the best player in the world as Scott Lang's best friend and former cellmate.
10. "Ant-Man and the Wasp"
It's a bit frustrating that this one does not fully integrate with the "Infinity War" situation, but even so it's a delight. Evangeline Lilly is so talented with Wasp that I am irritated retroactively for the fact that she did not wear the costume of the previous movie "Ant-Man".
9. "strange doctor"
"Doctor Strange" might not have been the best Marvel movie of all time. It's the power of the amazing visual imagination exposed here. People love to talk about the nebulous concept of capturing long-lost childhood wonderment, though the magic of cinema – "Doctor Strange" is one of the only films I've watched as an adult who really does .
8. "Spider-Man 2"
It's a movie that perfectly understands his main character and draws on what has made him such a captivating character for so long. Peter Parker is a superhero, but he's also a student who works at minimum wage to earn rent while taking physics classes at the university. Peter buckles under pressure, which we can all identify with.
7. "Iron Man 3"
As far as I'm concerned this is the "Iron Man" movie. In one way or another, Shane Black managed to infiltrate the MCU and make a legitimate film of Shane Black with all the spirit and raw humanity that you expect from him. It bears exactly the kind of author identity that we should want all these movies to have.
6. "Thor: Ragnarok"
A complete delight. It's perhaps the most fun movie we've had at the movies in 2017, so we can not help but love it.
5. "Captain America: Civil War"
Multiply the two best previous Marvel movies one by the other and you get "Civil War". It offers the kind of emotional reverberation that all disconnected Marvel movies can not really provide. And as an action movie, it's easily the best of the kind superhero.
4. "Black Panther"
It is a little delayed by the classic problems of "original film" – presenting the world of Wakanda to an audience is not a simple and quick task, and it could take another 15 to 20 minutes to flesh out the secondary characters – – but still manages to be the most important superhero movie of all time. It's a little surprising to see writer and director Ryan Coogler make this statement a political statement: it's the most openly political mega-budget film I've ever seen. Plus, while I'm listing superlatives: Michael B Jordan offers the best performance ever made in a superhero movie. Lord.
3. "Avengers: Infinity War"
You can certainly argue that "Infinity War" does not really fit as a full movie because it starts a bit with the second act. But I do not care. The culmination of this shared ten-year universe experience should stand on the shoulders of the movies that preceded it. However, the fact that it has such a deep emotional impact is what really makes it work.
2. "Captain America: the soldier of the winter"
The Russo brothers, who made their entry into the MCU by leading "Winter Soldier" before taking control of "Civil War" and eventually "Avengers: Infinity War" in 2018, were really impressed by "Winter Soldier ". It's a classic spy thriller with a touch of superheroes. And Robert Redford as a bad guy is a very good idea.
1. "Logan"
James Mangold's small-scale Western western is a game changer for all kind of superheroes, daring to challenge just about any standard you expect these films to work. It's just a good movie in every way. Where "civil war" has raised the genre, "Logan" rather chooses to be something else and we are all the better.
Decades of widescreen Marvel adaptations require a long list of rankings. This is this list
With more than 30 years of Marvel films released in theaters, there is still time to rank everything from "Howard the Duck" to "Black Panther" this year, "Avengers: Infinity War", "Deadpool 2", "Ant – Man and wasp "and" venom "
