In an unexpected turn of events, legendary actor Keanu Reeves was recently spotted watching the infamous flop Morbius during a flight. This revelation left Doctor Who and House of the Dragon star Matt Smith in sheer disbelief, as he expressed his shock on Brittany Broski's Royal Court podcast. Smith, who played Milo Morbius in the widely derided Sony's Spider-Man Universe (SSU) spinoff, couldn't fathom why Reeves would subject himself to the Jared Leto-led disaster. Smith jokingly speculated that Reeves might have been under the influence of some sedatives. Despite his initial surprise, Smith expressed his admiration for Reeves, praising him as a legend. When asked about his in-flight entertainment choices, Smith made it clear he wouldn't be caught dead watching Morbius. The 2022 release of Morbius, one of Sony's many mediocre SSU experiments, was met with widespread criticism from both critics and fans, eventually becoming a meme for its poor quality. Four years on, there's no indication that any of the film's characters will return. IGN's review of Morbius awarded it a 5/10 score, describing it as an origin story "lacking fangs and bite, marred by shoddy computer-digital fights and an overly serious tone that does the darkened flick no favors." Matt Smith has previously addressed the film's post-release response, suggesting it had been "thrown under the bus" and telling Rolling Stone that "you just have to roll with it. What else are you gonna do? It’s a film, at the end of the day, we’re not saving lives." Sony continues its efforts to adapt the Marvel characters it still holds the rights to, with 2022's Madame Web and 2024's Kraven the Hunter in the pipeline, alongside its more commercially successful Venom trilogy. Currently, there are no further live-action SSU movies in production. Upcoming for Spider-Man is this month's highly anticipated MCU entry Spider-Man: Brand New Day, while Sony has its third animated Spider-Verse movie due next year.
