It’s reported, via Variety, that the film starring Jared Leto in the title role has been pushed back from January to April 2022 due to the recent surge of Omicron variant COVID-19 cases.

Here’s the summary for Morbius: Dangerously ill with a rare blood disorder and determined to save others suffering his same fate, Dr. Morbius attempts a desperate gamble.
